Hi there. We wanted to take a second to let you know about a brand new podcast coming from the working class history team.

On this day in working class history will be a short daily briefing released each morning

with a mini episode about a story from people's history which occurred on today's date.

Each episode's only going to be a couple of minutes long and will launch on the 1st of

February releasing one episode per day on a trial basis to see if it's something that you like

and want to listen to. So please check out the channel and subscribe. You can listen to it

wherever you listen to this podcast. So whatever app this is on, if it's Apple

podcast or Spotify, just search for On This Day in Work and Class History and click

subscribe. We also plan for it to be available as part of flash briefings on smart devices

at your house, like Alexa. Our hope is that like our social media posts with history

anniversaries each day, these mini episodes can form part of your daily routine, like listening to news headlines, and you can share them on social media as a tool for trying to educate and maybe radicalise a little bit, your friends, co-workers and families.

One aspect of it that we're excited about in particular is that it kind of gives us the opportunity to highlight less

and known stories from our archive. So for posts on social media, we kind of have to pick the stories which we think are going to be the most popular, because if we don't, then the algorithm could suppress our other content as well.

On social media, we can also only choose stories with photos or other

images available. And unfortunately, a lot of our stories just don't have images, particularly

for countries outside the global north. So thanks for taking the time to listen to this intro.

We hope you enjoy the new podcast. Behind the scenes, we're continuing to work on a load of great new episodes

for the main working class history podcast as well. Subjects in the pipeline include Palestine

under British colonial rule, the Great Minor Strike of 1984, mass struggles in Italy in the

1960s and 70s, and a mass strike in South Korea.
