Inside West Virginia's New Economic Bill of Rights–with Troy N. Miller

For this week's episode, Rebecca sat down with Troy N. Miller, who's long served as the Off-Kilter podcast's beloved "man behind the curtain," aka executive producer. When he's not producing Off-Kilter, the Zero Hour, Breaking Through, and other progressive podcast/radio programs, Troy serves as West Virginia organizer and special projects director at Social Security Works and at-large member of the West Virginia State Democratic Executive Committee. In what was Troy's first time crossing over to appear as a guest on the podcast, Rebecca and Troy had a far-ranging conversation about the story behind the "21st Century Economic Bill of Rights" adopted by the West Virginia State Democratic Executive Committee last month; why it matters for states to adopt these kinds of nonbinding resolutions; myth versus fact when it comes to West Virginia politics; Troy's path to getting involved with West Virginia politics; the role of progressive radio and podcasting in the larger movement for social and economic justice and how Troy's decade in the progressive radio world has shaped him as an advocate; and lots more.    Links from this episode: Learn more about West Virginia's recently adopted economic bill of rights here Subscribe to Troy's Substack: The Blue Ridge Breakdown Here's the piece by Harvey Kaye and Alan Minsky calling for a renewal of FDR's economic bill of rights for the 21st century
