The Last Shift

from The Quiet Revolution · host Podcaster

In small towns across America, the final generation of factory workers clocks out as plants close forever—but they're not just losing jobs, they're losing an entire way of understanding work, pride, and what it means to build something with your hands. We follow three workers through their last days and explore how the end of manufacturing work reshapes not just economies, but identities. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
