For this 90th anniversary episode, Theo and Lydia interview Rosalie Riegle about the origins of the Catholic Worker, the Catholic Worker’s early involvement with the labor movement, and why the contemporary Catholic Worker has turned to other issues.

In our second episode looking at labor within the Catholic Worker Movement, we speak with Lincoln Rice, a Catholic Worker with Casa Maria in Milwaukee. Lincoln recently published The Forgotten Radical Peter Maurin: Easy Essays from the Catholic Worker.
