Big thanks to our friend @Weathercitizen Who remixed the classic labor song Solidarity Forever (originally written by Ralph Chaplin in 1915) for our intro music! @Weathercitizen also helped us a great deal in getting set up and showing us the ropes for recording our first episode. Thanks @Weathercitizen!
