We're a little rusty coming off a bye week but we still managed to get some good content out of that dumbass paper the White House released about socialism. We also issue a send off to our dear friend Jim Webb aka Wiley E. Quixote, who passed earlier this week and who taught us the ways of Speaking Your Piece. Rest in peace, commodore.

This week we're joined by Mary Cromer, an environmental attorney with the Appalachian Citizens' Law Center, to discuss some of the environmental legacy issues surrounding the decline of extractive industries in rural areas. Just this week Mary's work and the work of the Martin County Concerned Citizens was featured on NPR, so definitely check that out: https://www.npr.org/2018/10/03/649850498/you-just-don-t-touch-that-tap-water-unless-absolutely-necessary You can learn more about the Appalachian Citizens' Law Center here: www.appalachianlawcenter.org And support us on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/trillbillyworkersparty

We've decided to unlock our Patreon Premium Episode 20, which examines the situation before us today (Kavanaugh, the patriarchy, etc.) using Rosa Luxemburg's "Social Reform or Revolution" as a guide. A lot of disjointed thoughts in this one but we're unlocking it because we hope it will get some thoughts moving in the right direction. Please don't @ us because we're fragile lil bb's. There's more great content like this over at our Patreon, so please hop on over and throw us some support: www.patreon.com/trillbillyworkersparty

In this one we examine how to lead a story-based life, how to have a story-based diet, and how to change the story of the world with more stories. Everything is a story, including how this episode was made: with extremely low energy on Tarence's birthday. Music by Alex Dupree: https://alexdupree.bandcamp.com/album/you-winsome-you-lonesome Also please check out our Patreon: www.patreon.com/trillbillyworkersparty
