The SPAM Strike (1986) w/ Julia Longoria
It’s February 3rd. This day, 1986, the town of Austin, Minnesota is being torn apart by an ongoing strike at the Hormel meat-packing plant.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by podcast host Julia Longoria to talk about the strike and her larger reporting on the way in which SPAM can explain many of the larger forces in American history.
Julia is the host of “The Experiment” from WNYC and The Atlantic — they have a three-part series on SPAM out now!
