  • The "Messaging" Problem

    The "Messaging" Problem
    May 14 2024

    May 14, 2024

    Every election cycle, we see the same thing over and over. The right floods the zone with fiction, and the left can’t get off the couch for long enough to compete. Dems call this a “messaging problem.” That’s incorrect. It’s a delivery problem, and no one is serious about fixing it. This and more on today’s show, with guest Emily de La Bruyere of Horizon Advisory.

  • Selling the Planet

    Selling the Planet
    May 13 2024

    May 13, 2024

    Well, the Republicans are impeaching Biden again, though no one knows why, and Trump just tried to sell the planet to Big Oil for a billion in campaign cash. These stories are so strange they shouldn’t be true, but when right-wing media is running the show, every day is a bit crazier than the last. We’ll talk about these stories and more with today’s guests – Liliana Calderon of International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, and Journalist Sarah Burris of Raw Story.

  • Saying vs. Doing

    Saying vs. Doing
    May 10 2024

    May 10, 2024

    Earlier this week, Joe Biden went to Racine, Wisconsin, to the site of Trump’s failed Foxconn disaster, to announce a $3.3 billion investment by Microsoft that will bring the jobs to the area that Trump promised but never delivered. It’s just another example of the difference between saying something and doing something. Today’s guest is Corey Hill, President of UAW Local 3250.

Profile Image for Kevin Mahoney

Simply no one else like Rick

I started listening to the Rick Smith Show when I first moved to Pennsylvania and Rick was in the early days of building his show. I frequently say that Rick taught me everything I needed to know about Pennsylvania politics. Since those days, the Rick Smith Show has grown national in scope, bringing unparalleled focus on the stories that matter to working-class Americans. Rick's slogan "the voice of the working-class" couldn't be more on the mark. There is no other show that brings the voices of the labor movement, workers' struggles, and politics and policies critical to working families.

And I challenge you not to laugh in between the serious discussions. Rick is one of a kind.
