## Resource

This week on the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly, guest co-hosts Natascha Elena Uhlmann and Danielle Smith from the Labor Notes Podcast join the crew to celebrate their show’s first anniversary. They reflect on a year of sharing rank-and-file organizing stories and explain why hearing directly from workers has become a source of hope during turbulent times. We also feature highlights from across the Labor Radio Podcast Network: Madison Labor Radio reports from Calumet, Michigan, where organizers are raising funds for a life-sized statue honoring Big Annie Clements, the early 20th-century miner’s union organizer who led thousands during the 1913 copper strike. The Voice Podcast looks back at the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, remembering the workers whose deaths sparked sweeping workplace safety reforms and helped fuel the growth of the labor movement. America Works shares the story of Robert O’Keefe, a nurse and Marine veteran who describes caring for fellow veterans during the COVID-19 pandemic and why serving veterans remains a calling. On the Line talks with United Educators of San Francisco leader Natalie Rey about the union’s historic four-day strike — the first since 1979 — and how organizing, member engagement, and community support helped educators win key demands. The SAG-AFTRA Podcast takes a humorous look at artificial intelligence in acting. Director Sergio Cilli explains how his viral “AI audition” videos reveal that AI actors still can’t manage simple human tasks — like loading a dishwasher. Plus, in our speed Shows You Should Know round, we highlight more shows across the network, including Working Voices, The Labor Show with Jim Snell, The Concrete Gang, Future of Work, Pipe Up, and Power Line Podcast. As always, you can find links to every show feat…
