    Special “Deep Cuts” Edition: Continent of Resistance & The Solidarity Report

    This week's special edition of Labor Radio Podcast Weekly features extended excerpts from two outstanding shows on the Labor Radio Podcast Network instead of the usual sampler format. First, Continent of Resistance explores what it means to rewrite the culture of labor movements. The discussion argues that strong organizing depends on healthy relationships, democratic decision-making, collective care, and a culture of solidarity that welcomes new workers and builds resilient movements. Then, The Solidarity Report sits down with Labor Heritage Foundation Executive Director Chris Garlock and actor and SAG-AFTRA member Harold Phillips. The conversation ranges from the origins of the Labor Radio Podcast Network and the importance of labor storytelling to organizing through arts and culture, preserving labor history, protecting workers from AI, and why communication is essential to building worker power. The episode also highlights the Labor Heritage Foundation's Labor Landmarks Map and the growing community of labor podcasters working together across the movement.

    Winning a strike. Building a union. Defending organizers. This week on Labor Radio Podcast Weekly, we hear why the real work begins after the victory.

Work Stoppage tackles another Labor Notes focus, the fightback in Minnesota. On We Rise Fighting, Rick and Brian examine the federal indictment of 15 Minnesota immigrant rights and labor organizers—and labor's response. And from Labor Jawn, the story of Carl Mackley, the young Philadelphia striker whose death inspired 25,000 workers to pledge they'd keep fighting.
