/“Socialism/” is one of the most controversial words in America and has been for a long time. As democratic socialism grows in popularity, Danielle looks back at the long history of socialism in America. From the utopian socialist communities of the 19th century to the labor strikes and anarchist attacks of 1919 that helped fuel the Red Scare, we explore America's complicated history with socialism.

Origin of Everything is a show about the untold stories and cultural dialogues that make up our collective history. From the food we eat, to the fun anecdotes and facts we can't get out of our heads, to the social issues we can't stop debating, everything around us has a story. Origin of Everything is here to explore it all. We like to think that no topic is too small or too difficult to start with.
