Building Worker-Focused Media with the Labor Radio Podcast Network

The Labor Radio Podcast Network is a collaborative working group of dozens of labor-focused podcasts and radio shows. According to the LRPN website, the network exists as a way to gather together resources for listeners who may be on the hunt for better worker-focused media, saying in part, 

“While labor columnists at daily newspapers have become a dying breed and union news has largely been sidelined within traditional print and televisual media, affordable and easy-to-use recording and editing technologies now allow workers, union members, leaders and activists to create their own alternative means of communication. These days, that often takes the form of either podcasts or radio shows (which often are also available via podcast).”

Chris Garlock and Harold Phillips come on the premiere episode of The Union Bug to discuss the network (Which the Union Bug has accepted an invitation to) and talk about the importance of creating space for worker-focused media.
