The fifteenth episode of Exit Capitalism, Stage Left is out now. This podcast is supported by The Maggie Phair Institute for Democracy and Human Rights.
In this episode, we go over an old relevant interview that highlights what’s going on with UAW workers in the past and what has lead to a strike now, as well as what the strike means to workers and the unfair labor practices of the UC’s bargaining team.
This episode also looks at the strike going on with railroad workers, the fact that congress is attempting to force them back into work, and that the senate doesn’t seem to have enough votes on their side to give railroad workers at least 7 days of sick leave, instead of the 15 they are asking for, and that the contract that will pass through our federal government will probably leave railroad workers with 1 sick day a year.

The thirteenth episode of Exit Capitalism, Stage Left is out now. This podcast is supported by The Maggie Phair Institute for Democracy and Human Rights.
This episode is the first in our education series which looks at the origins of capitalism in the early modern period. In part I of the series, I explored early modern English history, Queen Elizabeth I, King James I, and William Shakespeare’s works to look at early aspects of separation, dehumanization, and exploitation and how those aspects of capitalism manifest in The Tempest. This is Part II in the series in which we talk about early modern critiques of patriarchy, mercantile capitalism, the erasure of the labor of country people by pastoral works, and more while exploring Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlow and Lady Mary Wroth’s sonnets.

“The Reformation, Inter-Imperial World History, and Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus” by Jane Hwang Degenhardt
Critiques of Michael Keefer

The ninth episode of Exit Capitalism, Stage Left is out now. This podcast is supported by The Maggie Phair Institute for Democracy and Human Rights.
In this episode, I kind of go off about my love for Lucille Ball and her groundbreaking work on I Love Lucy in addition to the groundbreaking work her production company, Desilu Productions, did with the show Star Trek.
