Hilary Peach’s Thick Skin
Broadcast on January 18, 2024
Hosted by Chris Garlock and Elise Bryant
Writer and recording artist Hilary Peach worked for twenty years as a transient welder, travelling across Canada and the United States, working in pulp mills, chemical plants, refineries, and generating stations. In 2022 she released a memoir about this time, Thick Skin: Field Notes from a Sister in the Brotherhood; our interviewer is Susan Eisenberg, a poet, visual artist, oral historian and former electrician.
On today’s installment of our “Story Behind the Song” series, Joe Jencks tells us how he came to write his labor classic “Rise As One”. Joe is a 25-year veteran of the international folk circuit, an award-winning songwriter and celebrated vocalist, and a member of A.F.M. Local 1000, the North American Traveling Musicians Union.
On Labor History in 2:00: the year was 1915; on this date, the most popular labor song in the United States was completed in Chicago.
Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike Nasella & Kahlia Chapman.
