Trillbilly Worker's Party

In episode 13, we welcome historian, author, and all around G, Elizabeth Catte to talk about author Joan Williams's attempts to cash in on the current fascination of the so-called 'White Working Class' with her recent articles and new book of the same title. We also talk about Elizabeth's forthcoming book "What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia" among other topics, including whether Harry Caudill's* dick ever graced the pages of Time-Life. *If you're wondering who Harry Caudill is, he was basically JD Vance before JD Vance was JD Vance, but more progressive on environmental issues.

A meandering, lost episode we recorded shortly after our appearance on the Katie Halper show. Tarence has a meltdown about class. Tom considers the excellent PR strategies of bad people. Tanya's just walkin' 'ere. Listen here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/b-side-is-class-11687581

In episode 12, our favorite Hazardian Jenny Williams stops by the show with a bomb-ass quiche and chats with us about peppermint swirls, the Hands of God, and 3-way (or 15-way) phone sex.

In episode 11, we welcome our good friends Matt + Carrie Carter to talk sentient snuggies, cd-r consciousness, and the great Sears catalog dick conspiracy of '73 among other topics.

In Episode 10, we interview Aaron Petcoff about his recent Jacobin article, 'The Problem with Saul Alinsky,' and how it applies to leftist organizing in Appalachia and beyond.

In episode 9, we highlight famous moments in rural internet history with our homegirl, Joni(@joniwasadiver).

In Episode 8, we talk with Sarah Jones (@onesarahjones) of the New Republic about her recent piece (co-authored by Laura Reston) entitled "Appalachia Needs Big Government." We also talk about how Appalachia went red, the war on coal, and more.

In episode 7, we examine what it looks like when Libs take to the streets, and what a march for pseudoscience would look like with journalist Michelle Eigenheer (@fleurdelou_).

In episode 6, the homie Lee Bains (@thegloryfires) of badass Alabama-based rock band, Lee Bains III + The Glory Fires, rides shotgun as we recount our formative experiences growing up in the church, and analyze the paranoid style of today's American Evangelical Christian Right.

In episode 5 we discuss the class analysis (or lack thereof) of anti-racist organizations, the hillbilly chic phenomenon, and how that if Jay-Z can't be cool in his 40's then what chance do the rest of us have? And of course, how sex looks different after 30. Enjoy!
