Sharing A Little Mulled Whine

I'm sometimes embarrassed to admit that I might produce this show even without an audience; it's therapeutic.

KSD The Fight To Guide The Plodders

I've shown how the Kellogg's six-hour day became just one form of work sharing during the Great Depression. I haven't shown you yet why this schedule option was all but abandoned.

KSD The Calvinistic Worship of Toil

Something fascinating happened 90 years ago; but today, almost no one knows about it. Knowing it was amazing requires, though, knowing what happened… before.
