“A Hell of Wall Street’s Making”

33 minutes

Two reports focusing on the recent train derailments:

Jeff Kurtz of Railroad Workers United talks with the We Rise Fighting podcast about the roots of the problem, and then on the Working People podcast, rail worker Matt Weaver says East Palestine was “A Hell of Wall Street's Making.”

Then, “Teasing the tech,” things teachers should know about the impact of education technologies; that’s from the EdVoices podcast, put out by Education International, the voice of teachers and other education employees across the globe.

Next, why not riot? The Green and Red podcast talks with Ben Case, author of a provocative new book, “Street Rebellion: Resistance Beyond Violence and Nonviolence,” which challenges the strategy of non-violent and often non-aggressive protest and makes a case that riots are another tactic to be used by the Left.

Our final segment today is from the SAG-AFTRA Podcast, which toured the show floors at the CES tech show last month and brings us a closer look at AI and the future of film, the latest trends and innovations that might affect the entertainment industry in the years ahead.

In a related note, the Screen Actors Guild Awards are tomorrow night and you can check out actor and labor podcaster Harold Phillips’ labor picks on today’s Labor Goes to the Movies podcast.
