In this installment of Best Of The Gist, with automotive labor unions preparing for a huge battle, we listen back to Mike’s 2016 interview with Steven Greenhouse, author of the 2008 book The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker. Then we replay Wednesday’s Spiel, in which Mike accuses Hasan Minhaj of concocting fakes in the name of comedy. Also, the rest of the world accused him, too.  Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara Email us at <a href="http://thegist@mikepesca.com">thegist@mikepesca.com</a> To advertise on the show: <a href="https://advertisecast.com/TheGist">https://advertisecast.com/TheGist</a> Subscribe to our ad-free and/or PescaPlus versions of The Gist: <a href="https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/">https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/ </a>Follow Mike’s Substack: <a href="https://mikepesca.substack.com/">Pesca Profundities | Mike Pesca | Substack</a>  Learn more about your ad choices.

Island Of The Cancelled

For thirty minutes each day, Pesca challenges himself and his audience, in a responsibly provocative style, and gets beyond the rigidity and dogma. The Gist is surprising, reasonable, and willing to critique the left, the right, either party, or any idea.
