On the Belabored podcast, Sarah Jaffe and Michelle Chen gather three of their favorite thinkers on labor and unions, Jane McAlevey, Bill Fletcher Jr., and Rebecca Dixon, for a no-holds-barred look back on 2020, a truly tumultuous year for workers.
Then, on Your Rights At Work, Kathy Newman talks about the workers who make your favorite holiday movies possible.
We stay with the workers behind the movies as OnWriting, a screenwriting podcast from the Writers Guild of America, East, talks with Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, and Peter Baynham — the co-writers of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm — about why they decided to revisit the iconic character, how intense it was to film that now-infamous Rudy Giuliani scene, and the reality of filming in very dangerous situations.
And since this is Christmas week, we’ve got a special treat for you, the first part of A Red Carol, from the San Francisco Mime Troupe. This brand-new radio drama returns to the working-class roots of Charles Dickens’ classic holiday story of greed and redemption, along with a few labor songs.
Speaking of which, our bonus tracks this week are Rudolph the Union Reindeer and Organize Organize Organize, both sung by Ariana Eakle Blockmon, a member of IBEW Local 124. Thanks to Judy Ancel and the Heartland Labor Forum -- their latest show is The Truth about Santa's Workshop -- for sharing these, as well as The Year the Elves Went Out on Strike by Barry Rabin.
