The Last Shift

from The Quiet Revolution · host Podcaster

In manufacturing towns across America, the final generation of factory workers is clocking out for good—but they're not just leaving jobs behind, they're taking with them an entire way of understanding work, community, and what it means to make something with your hands. We explore how the end of industrial work is quietly reshaping the social fabric of places built around the factory whistle. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
