About this listen
Step inside the world of the muckrakers—the fearless investigative journalists who dug into the darkest corners of American life during the Progressive Era. In this episode, we explore how Jacob Riis exposed tenement misery with his camera, how Ida Tarbell dismantled the Standard Oil monopoly, how Lincoln Steffens uncovered a nationwide network of political corruption, how Upton Sinclair infiltrated Chicago’s stockyards, and how Ida B. Wells risked her life to document the truth about lynching. Told with a true-crime narrative style, this episode reveals the danger, determination, and impact behind each investigation—showing how their work changed laws, industries, and the nation itself.
