Upstream

Documentary #1: The Sharing Economy?


Listen Later

In this episode we look at how companies like Airbnb and Uber have influenced an entire generation and entirely shifted the economic landscape of major cities like San Francisco. Through candid conversations with journalists and industry insiders, we explore the darker side of these giant companies and investigate how this phenomenon arose and what implications are in store. Featured guests: Doug Henwood (Author, radio host, columnist for Harper's and the Nation Magazine) Keally McBride (Professor of Politics and the Chair of International Studies at the University of San Francisco) David Campos (San Francisco District 9 Supervisor) Dale Carlson (Public Accountant and Business Consultant, co-author of CA Proposition F) David Korman (Lyft driver, former TaskRabbit, Couchsurfing host) Upstream is a labor of love — we couldn't keep this project going without the generosity of our listeners and fans.
