Tom Madden
In this episode, we talk to Tom Madden, a native Missourian, a professional plumber, and member of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local 562. We talk about growing up in a strict household, wild times in high school, and about the complex, vital work plumbers do to keep our homes, buildings, and cities functioning. We also talk about the historic “Vote No on Proposition A” campaign to defeat so-called “right-to-work” legislation in Missouri this month. (All music sourced from the Free Music arch
