Rednecks Rising

In this 3rd episode, the side effects of having a podcast host with ADHD show up: I started with covering The Battle of Blair Mountain, but that led me to historical labor uprisings that had happened the century before the Battle, which then led me to learning about multiracial organizing by indentured servants prior to the formalization of the Virginia Slave Codes. I decided it's best to start at the beginning and take you along for the ride.

In today's episode, I sit down with Hazel Wines, AKA Zoo - a working class Mama based out of Southwest Virginia who helped to start a Free Store in her hometown. We get real fired up about the conditions of public schools in poor Appalachian communities, the military state's efforts to bust up Appalachia and keep the working class from coming together, and Zoo's work to advocate for her local public schools as well as her successful efforts to start the Pulaski County Free Store.
