A podcast about the dumbest decade in western history. So dumb most of it passed right through us without leaving us anything to think about, until now! We look at the most popular movies, subcultures, political movements, books, and video games of the decade and wonder what made them so popular to audiences in the 2000s, and how their legacy can still be seen today.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-26T14:18:47.124184+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/remember-shuffle-7059496"},"episode":{"title":"Great Recession Part 4: E122 2009 Auto Bailouts | Factory Reset","slug":"great-recession-part-4-e122-2009-auto-bailouts-factory-reset","published_at":"2026-06-20T15:14:25+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/remember-shuffle-7059496/great-recession-part-4-e122-2009-auto-bailouts-factory-reset","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/remember-shuffle-7059496","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/great-recession-part-4-e122-2009-auto-bailouts-factory-reset--72612010","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72612010/c05cc5c0_f792_7758_4421_e02d7712c4f9.mp3","summary":"In part four of their ongoing series on the Great Recession, the Shuffle Bois turn to a topic near and dear to their hearts, the automotive bailouts of 2008/9. When cheap and easy credit dried up due to the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the dominos of financialization began to fall, the three struggling American automotive companies were hit particularly hard. In this episode, the shuffle bois go through the history of the automotive industry, laying out both its long term chronic and short term acute issues, before tracing the Obama administration's response. It's a sprawling episode covering labour relations, corporate mismanagement, globalization, the place of the car in American identity, financialization and private equity, and environmentalism Bibliography:Dan Georgakas and Marvin Surkin, Detroit: I do mind dying.
