Episode description

Welcome to "The Falling Middle Cast," a podcast miniseries cohosted by Ryan and Sebastian as they talk about the professional middle class through the lens of Barbara Ehrenreich's seminal work "Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class." The two hope to understand more about why there's any kind of class disparity within the middle class itself and what the political movers and shakers are behind that disparity. In this episode, we go over the book's introduction. 

To learn more about Ehrenreich and her body of work, check out ⁠"Know Our Enemy's" episode⁠ about her following her death last year.
