On today’s show: Anti-labour rule in Asia Pacific: RadioLabour reports on how unions are fighting back as exemplified by Fiji's labour movement.
On the Power Line Podcast, Kaycee Field talks about how important the trades are and why ranch and rodeo kids are a perfect fit for those types of jobs.
Then, Kamal Bell, owner of Sankofa Farms, talks with The Check Out about how he uses agricultural practices rooted in his African heritage to address modern problems like food deserts that disproportionately affect Black communities.
On GRIT Nation, logger, blacksmith, carpenter, and internet sensation Scott Wadsworth talks about how the trades can be a more viable route than college and how he started his YouTube channel.
We wrap up with a really fun and interesting episode of Tales from the Reuther Library, as Dr. Vincent Haddad joins the show to talk about how Black DC Comic heroes such as Amazing-Man dismantled urban stereotypes about Detroit while also reflecting the city's history with race.
