Episode 1: What's Funny About a General Strike?

Hosted by Sam & Jonathan, The Smash Up Derby Podcast: Working Class Politics, Labor Unions, and Democratic Socialism is a direct conversation from the ground up. This isn't about abstract political theory discussed in distant think tanks; it's a news-focused dialogue rooted in the daily realities and collective power of working people. Each episode tackles the issues that matter on the shop floor, in union halls, and across communities fighting for a fair deal. You'll hear straightforward analysis on current events, labor organizing, and the practical meaning of democratic socialism in action, all through the lens of those building a movement from the bottom. The hosts break down complex policy and political strategy into relatable terms, focusing on how collective action shapes our economy and democracy. Tune in for a candid, unscripted take on the forces shaping work and life, a podcast dedicated to the voices and victories often left out of the mainstream narrative.
