#54 West Virginia Coal Wars

In this week’s episode, Patrick and Riley head down the holler to deep dive the lives and history of West Virginia’s coal miners. Along the way, we uncover the history of the term “redneck”, a ruthless industry taking deeply unethical measures to keep their feet on the throats of their labor force, a truly badass folk hero, and the largest armed insurrection in the history of the US since the civil war.
