Hosted by Clayton Morgareidge (pictured here) and featuring union songs sung by Pete Seeger, this show covers the battle to get single payer health insurance on the table, the history of the International Longshore Workers Union, the Iranian elections, the detective novels of Amanda Cross, and how the politics of hatred is related to our social fabric.
Our new Mole in the Ground theme is a medley of an old (1924) version by Bascom Lamar Lunsford and a new one by dj/rupture, sung by Sindhu Zagoren, who is an academic researching anticapitalist struggle & media, and an activist with the People's Channel public access tv in North Carolina. It's on the album Special Gunpowder.
