    Forced Parenthood
    Jun 7 2024

    June 7, 2024

    Now that the GOP has taken away abortion rights, they’re planning to go after contraception next. That’s right, if the bad guys win in November, they’re going after birth control next. And if they win, we are going to have a lot more unwanted pregnancies, and a lot less freedom. We discuss this and more with Laura Packard of Health Care Voter, and Randy Korgan of the Teamsters.

  • What Fascists Do

    What Fascists Do
    Jun 6 2024

    June 6, 2024

    Florida Republican Congressional Candidate Anthony Sabatini says he’s running so he can “imprison as many Democrats as possible.” In Kansas, the state Supreme Court just ruled that voting is not a right according to their Constitution. Everywhere we look these days, there seem to be fascists doing what fascists do, and that is normalizing hate, oppression, and anti-democratic nonsense. We discuss this and much more with our guests – Weade James of The Center for American Progress and Bill Scher, Editor at Washington Monthly.

    The Long Game
    Jun 5 2024

    June 5, 2024

    All over America, the GOP is ramming through all kinds of really unpopular legislation, and in most cases, they are paying no price at all for doing so. Why is this so? It’s simple. The GOP took voters out of the equation years ago when they used corporate money to buy state legislatures as part of what they called Project REDMAP, and then they redrew all the lines and made themselves impossible to vote out of office. And we have been living through the consequences ever since. We discuss this and more with today’s guests – Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing, and Tony Totty, President of UAW Local 14.

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.
