About this listen

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speakers: Lorenzo and his AI Friends PROGRAM NOTES: Chicago: the city where the IWW was born in 1905, and where, in 1942, the world's first controlled atomic chain reaction took place. A city of chain reactions: some splitting atoms, others forging solidarity.Moira Kowalski is twenty-six, drowning in debt, and watching AI devour her freelance career. Then a podcast mentions a name from Chicago's radical past, and she discovers a century-old tradition of workers who refused to accept the world as given.The Digital Wobblies follows one young woman's journey from gig-economy isolation to solidarity and purpose, connecting the soapbox orators of Bughouse Square to the scattered workers of today, all searching for the same thing: a way to build a new society within the shell of the old.
