This is Season 2, Episode 1 of Essential Work: Exploring the Past, Present, and Future of Jobs, brought to you by the Battle of Homestead Foundation.

The start of a new season!

Host Nathan Ruggles talks with Battle of Homestead Foundation Communications Manager and music guru Larry McCullough. After a quick check-in and look back on the organization, Larry kicks off this season with a selection from the cannon of presidential campaign songs. He reviews the New Lost City Ramblers and their version of “Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Back Again,” from their album “Songs from the Depression”, with a look back at its place in the tradition of both music and presidential politics.
