Wolff is a weekly nationally syndicated program produced by Democracy at Work and hosted by Richard D. Wolff. The program explores complex economic issues and empowers listeners with information to analyze not only their own financial situation but the economy at large. Beyond focusing a critical eye on the economic dimensions of everyday life - wages, jobs, taxes, debts, interest rates, prices, and profits - the program also explores systemic solutions to our economy's problems including alternative ways to organize production and distribution of the goods and services we all depend on.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T04:18:25.685572+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-update-with-richard-d-wolff-7137856"},"episode":{"title":"Economic Hardship Reporting Project","slug":"economic-hardship-reporting-project","published_at":"2026-09-07T23:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-update-with-richard-d-wolff-7137856/economic-hardship-reporting-project","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-update-with-richard-d-wolff-7137856","url":"https://sites.libsyn.com/84104/economic-hardship-reporting-project","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/economicupdate/Economic_Update__Economic_Hardship_Reporting_Project.mp4?dest-id=398074","summary":"This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff delivers updates on the Starbucks Workers United call-to-boycott, the powerful lyrics of Dolly Parton's song \"9 to 5,\" and the recent electoral victories by socialists and progressives, especially N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas in Oklahoma.
