Jacobin Radio Folgen

A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.Just when we thought we'd found the bottom of the barrel, we scrape a little bit further. From executive producers Van Jones and Meghan McCain, THE REUNITED STATES (2021) seeks to open a new chapter in the American story by highlighting people trying to bridge the left and right. But does a political "movement" that believes in nothing more than "listening to each other" actually do anything to address the issues allegedly dividing us? (Hint: no).

Every Wednesday at 6 PM ET, Jen Pan, Ariella Thornhill, and Paul Prescod host a new episode of The Jacobin Show, offering socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the audio version of the broadcast on February 17, 2021. Richard Hooker, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 623, discusses how he became involved in rank and file union organizing in the labor movement, how unions help break down racial tensions, and the challenges that he and other UPS workers have faced during the pandemic. We also cover the Texas power outage and workplace surveillance. Subscribe to Jacobin for just $10: https://jacobinmag.com/subscribe/?cod...
