We’re joined by journalist Devin Thomas O’Shea. Devin has been published in The Nation, Slate, Jacobin, and Lapham’s Quarterly—among quite a few others.
We talk about some St. Louis lore, the 1877 Railroad Strike, the short-lived workers’ revolution, and the local gentry’s revenge after the strike was put down. We wrap things up with a run past some of the more recent creatures to crawl out of Missouri politics.
