The Great Depression was not just an economic downturn—it was a global cataclysm that reshaped the very foundations of modern society. From the stock market crash of October 1929 to the dust bowl storms that ravaged the American Great Plains, this show explores the decade-long crisis that plunged millions into poverty and transformed politics worldwide. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the breadlines of New York, the shantytowns of 'Hoovervilles,' and the drought-stricken fields of Oklahoma. They examine the policy failures of Herbert Hoover, the radical experiments of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, and the rise of extremist ideologies in Europe, where the Depression fueled Hitler's ascent. The show also delves into the human stories: migrant families on Route 66, labor strikes in Detroit, and the forgotten farmers who abandoned their land. By tracing the Depression's impact on art, culture, and global alliances, the series reveals how economic collapse can upend political systems and why its lessons remain urgent today. Did the New Deal save capitalism, or merely postpone its reckoning?
