Your weekly guide to labor radio and podcasts: highlights from some of the more than eighty shows that make up the Labor Radio Podcast Network.
On today’s show, we start off with two takes on labor and politics that in some ways come from very different places and in other ways come from very much the same place. On the Blue Collar Gospel Hour host Dan Denton and his fellow autoworker Trey Garcia react to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last month with frustration over the failure of both parties to speak to or for working people. And on Building Bridges Radio, Fair Fight Action founder Stacey Abrams – who’s been nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize -- talks about how the American working class has consistently relied on people of color and women to push for improved status for workers but has been slow to include them in the movement’s victories.
Next up, Jessie Sage interviews sex worker, activist, writer, undocumented migrant, and DACA recipient Maya Morena on the Working People podcast, about the politics of the sex industry and the history of vice.
On My Labor Radio, Indiana teacher Tim Barr discusses life in school for both teachers and students during a pandemic.
As New York State faces a multibillion-dollar budget deficit, the Union Strong podcast explores how Adult-Use Cannabis offers an opportunity to building a new industry from the ground up in a way that will raise revenue, create good union jobs, and address social, racial, and economic equity.
And, from the Black Work Talk podcast, we’ll hear about the relationship between Black unionists, the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements, and the labor movement from longtime labor organizer and leader Bill Lucy, co-founder of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists.
Highlights from labor radio and podcast shows around the country, part of the national Labor Radio Podcast Network of shows focusing on working people’s issues and concerns.
