About this listen
In this episode of Nice Ashes, hosts Mike and Nate light up the Ave Maria Reconquista cigar and dive deep into a fascinating piece of Midwest history: the rise and impact of the Nonpartisan League and the Farmer Labor Party. They explore how two farmers’ secret winter meeting in 1915 sparked a progressive political movement that transformed North Dakota and Minnesota with groundbreaking reforms like the state-owned Bank of North Dakota, progressive income tax, labor rights, and environmental conservation—many of which still benefit the region today. Along the way, they reflect on the power of community, perseverance, and inter-generational change, offering thoughtful insights into how rural values and collective action can shape society. Plus, enjoy candid conversation, cigar reviews, and a fresh perspective on history, politics, and culture.
