Discover the Hosts
The Riot Hour’s hosts are two friends from South Carolina who have spent a great deal of time working in blue collar jobs. Wulfe fosters cats in their free time. Cat is a part-time illustrator. Both are long-time podcast fans. One day over coffee Wulfe jokingly suggested they start a podcast. Cat said it was always something she wanted to do.
The Riot Hour podcast was started in autumn 2025 with the desire to help educate, inform, and inspire listeners to think critically about labor history in America.
CAT
Cat is a resident of South Carolina. She has a background in healthcare as an RN for 10+ years. She also graduated with a Bachelor’s of English in 2006. During nursing school, she worked as a freelance digital illustrator and sold art. Through various education, she has found the value in deep research and connecting with the public whether through healthcare or art. She values ethical commitment and community building as a necessary part of building a brighter future.
In her free time, Cat focuses on drawing, writing, gardening, and a myriad of other hobbies, which includes growing her own tea and tending to her flock of 34 chickens. She has two dogs and an elderly, disabled cat.
After the Covid-19 pandemic, Cat saw many problems start creeping into the nursing career. For years nurses had attempted protests for better working conditions, safe work environments, mandatory patient ratios, and more oversight. These marches largely went unanswered. Coming from an history with poverty, homelessness, and a family with immigrants from Ireland and Russia, she has a very unique experience with labor in America from a blue collar perspective.
WULFE
Wulfe is a grew up as an avid reader as a child in the 1990s and began writing stories from a young age. They are a former high school English teacher and has seen the importance of literacy, research, and critical thinking in our school system. They realized the gap in their own education about American labor history, growing up in the American south. While there is more awareness of labor and social justice now, many teachers are still uncomfortable bringing up “controversial” topics at the risk of losing their jobs, leaving people to educate themselves. They have always loved reading about history and learned so many valuable lessons from labor history, including the battles we are still fighting today.
In their personal life, Wulfe fosters kittens and enjoys caring for their cats and getting involved with their local community. They also spend time writing and reading for pleasure. They also are of Hispanic descent and uniquely qualified to give perspective as a nonbinary American.
