    The Last Shift
    May 11 2026
    In small towns across America, the final generation of factory workers clocks out as plants close forever—but they're not just losing jobs, they're losing an entire way of understanding work, pride, and what it means to build something with your hands. We follow three workers through their last days and explore how the end of manufacturing work reshapes not just economies, but identities. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    When parents downsize or pass away, adult children inherit more than furniture and photo albums—they become the reluctant keepers of family stories, traditions, and objects that shaped their childhood but don't fit their adult lives. We explore the quiet crisis of what to do with the pieces of the past when you're trying to build your own future. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
