In early February we began podcasting on LabourStart.\u00a0 We were approached by people at the ‘Working Voices’ show, which airs on KPFK FM Los Angeles every Tuesday evening.\u00a0 They asked us to make a weekly show.\u00a0 We have done that every week, though not all our shows are picked up by ‘Working Voices’ for broadcast.<\/p>\n
So far, we’ve done 13 interviews with trade union leaders and activists at global level and also in Australia, Belarus, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, Iran, Israel \/ Palestine, Panama, the UK, Ukraine, and the USA.\u00a0 Of the 13 interviews, six were with women, six were with men, and one was with a man and a woman.\u00a0 We recorded two additional interviews this week, and have more scheduled for next week.<\/p>\n
Listenership is growing week-on-week.\u00a0 At the moment, the most popular show was our interview with Australia’s Sally McManus.<\/p>\n
Two of the interviews were done by LabourStart Canada’s Pat Bulmer, the other 11 by Eric Lee (assisted on one of them by our intern, David).<\/p>\n
If you have any ideas for interviews, please do pass them on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
