“I grew up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, working alongside my parents and grandparents in a pretty idyllic setting, and the maximum amount of stoicism you might imagine in a German Lutheran farm family. Yet the first episode of this podcast had me in tears. Our income varied wildly depending on the milk price, and our small town culture put us on the bottom rung of the class ladder. I feel a great deal of pride and identity in hard, physical labor, being resourceful/frugal and getting by with as little as possible. Yet, through the privilege of high quality public schools and the good fortune of having access to the University of Wisconsin, I’m now living a life of relative leisure working at a state University in another state. Health insurance! Vacation time! A pension! This change in class position has been one of the hardest adjustments of my life. It puts a strain on relationships with my family and friends back home in Wisconsin. Anyway, this is a super long review to say a hearty THANK YOU for this podcast. The struggle is real. While I may not have cashmere socks, please don’t tell my parents what I spent on sauerkraut from my friends’ organic farm. I feel so lucky to be able to pay farmers what their products are worth, a thing that maybe could have saved my family’s farm, but it’s been a hard transition from producer to consumer. This podcast helps me reckon with it all.”

“The host is really good, and the episodes are well-produced. But the SUBJECT is handled so meticulously and compassionately. This podcast can change your thinking about class. This is not a re-hashed Wikipedia article.”
