From the depths of the Great Depression to the dawn of American global power, Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal reshaped the nation's economy, politics, and social contract. Hosts Lucas and Luna explore the pivotal alphabet agencies—the AAA, WPA, TVA, and SEC—that put millions to work and redefined the role of government. They dissect FDR's leadership through crises: the Banking Holiday, the fireside chats, the court-packing fight, and the contentious creation of Social Security. The series examines the New Deal's racial complexities—how programs often excluded African Americans and women—and its legacy in debates over infrastructure, federal power, and economic justice that echo today. From the Dust Bowl to the rise of labor unions, from Huey Long's populist challenge to the Supreme Court's constitutional showdown, this show digs into the triumphs and failures of a transformative era. What does it mean to 'save capitalism from itself'? And how did the New Deal plant seeds for the modern welfare state, the civil rights movement, and today's partisan divides? Join Lucas and Luna for a deep, nuanced conversation about a moment when America remade itself—and why its lessons still matter. #FranklinRoosevelt #NewDeal #GreatDepression #FDR #WPA #SocialSecurity #AAA #TVA #SEC #DustBowl #CourtPacking #FiresideChats #HueyLong #LaborHistory #AmericanHistory #History #WorldHistory #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

    FDR's National Labor Relations Act and the Rise of the CIO
    2026/06/06
    In 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act, also known as the Wagner Act, which guaranteed workers the right to organize and bargain collectively. This episode explores the fierce battles that followed, from the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) under John L. Lewis to the sit-down strikes that paralyzed General Motors in 1937. We look at the role of Senator Robert F. Wagner, the opposition from business leaders and the Supreme Court, and the legacy of the Act in reshaping American labor. Along the way, we touch on the Little Steel Strike, the Memorial Day Massacre, and the rise of unions like the United Auto Workers. This was a transformative moment that pitted industrial workers against corporate giants, and it changed the balance of power in America forever. #NationalLaborRelationsAct #WagnerAct #JohnLLewis #CIO #CongressOfIndustrialOrganizations #SitDownStrike #GeneralMotors #UnitedAutoWorkers #RobertFWagner #LittleSteelStrike #MemorialDayMassacre #FrancesPerkins #NewDeal #LaborHistory #FDR #AmericanHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    FDR's WPA and the Fight for Unemployment Relief
    2026/06/05
    In this episode of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal Explained, hosts Lucas and Luna delve into the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the New Deal's largest jobs program. They explore how Harry Hopkins, FDR's close advisor, ran the agency from 1935 to 1943, putting millions of Americans to work on public projects. The conversation covers the political battles over relief versus work, the construction of iconic infrastructure like LaGuardia Airport and the Lincoln Tunnel, and the controversial 'leaf-raking' charges from Republicans. Lucas explains the WPA's rapid hiring process, its impact on unemployment, and the agency's eventual end as World War II mobilized the economy. This episode specifically focuses on the WPA's general relief efforts, not its arts projects or other specialized programs already covered. #WPA #WorksProgressAdministration #HarryHopkins #NewDeal #FDR #GreatDepression #UnemploymentRelief #LaGuardiaAirport #LincolnTunnel #PublicWorks #EmergencyReliefAppropriationAct #AlfLandon #RobertFechner #TheNightTheyInventedChampagne #History #FexingoHistory #1930s #NorthAmerica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    FDR's National Housing Act and the Fight Against Slums
    2026/06/05
    In 1937, the Wagner-Steagall Act created the United States Housing Authority, launching the nation's first large-scale public housing program. Listen as Lucas and Luna explore how New Dealers like Senator Robert Wagner, Representative Henry Steagall, and USHA head Nathan Straus battled real estate interests, overcome legal challenges, and built projects like the Jane Addams Houses in Chicago and the Williamsburg Houses in Brooklyn. Learn about the tensions between slum clearance and new construction, the role of local housing authorities, and how the program housed low-income families while reshaping American cities. This episode dives into a key but often overlooked piece of FDR's domestic agenda, connecting it to broader debates about government's role in providing decent housing for all citizens. #NewDeal #PublicHousing #WagnerSteagallAct #USHousingAuthority #NathanStraus #RobertWagner #HenrySteagall #SlumClearance #GreatDepression #FDR #HousingReform #JaneAddamsHouses #WilliamsburgHouses #CatherineBauer #HollenbeckHomes #USHA #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
