Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio.

Today we have an episode that's long overdue.

We have Peter Cole on to talk about the IWV International Workers of the World, aka the

Lobby's.

You know, Rev left it on the air for three years and we still haven't done an episode

on this so this is very overdue but I'm glad we could finally get to it.

We cover so much fascinating history about the IWW.

This episode could have been ten times longer and I'll definitely have Peter Cole back

on or other contributors to this anthology back on the show to talk about different angles,

different historical figures, etc.

But this is a good first flyover of the history of the IWW.

And as I say in the episode, you know, the IWW has played a huge role in my political

development.

I've often on throughout the years been dues paying members of both the IW and the GDC,

the General Defense Committee associated with the IWW.

So I was just played a huge role in my life.

I know it's played a lot of, I just played a huge role in a lot of my comrades life.

I've been in jail cells after protests with wobblies so this shit is deep for me and

I hope people get as much out of this as I did because this is a wonderful conversation.

But really quick before we get into the episode, I just want to let everybody know that our

local organization here in Omaha, the Nebraska left coalition is currently conducting our

spring fundraising effort.
