Labor Radio/Podcast Weekly (1/9): It’s the first week back in the New Year—and it feels like five days crammed into three. Chris, Harold, and Patrick return with a packed roundup: geopolitics, strike action, tax-policy sleight of hand, a brand-new show on worker-focused media, year-end reflections, and a fresh new intro.

Featured this week:

The Dig — Alejandro Velasco, Gabriel Hetland, and Yoletty Bracho join Daniel Denvir to analyze the U.S. attack on Venezuela, Trump’s imperial project, oil politics, and how different forces inside Venezuela are responding.

Labor Force — Mike Struan checks in on strike action at Telluride Ski Resort, spotlighting leverage, seasonal labor, and the power of unionized workers to shift the balance in a resort economy. (And: good news—workers later ratified a CBA.)
Labor Notes Podcast — Labor Notes staff share New Year’s organizing resolutions—more phone calls, fewer Zooms, better delegation, and making time to evaluate fights and build for the long haul.
Tribunus Plebis — Sean takes on Trump’s “no tax on overtime” promise, arguing it’s less a benefit than an accounting trick: a rebate structure that rewards overwork while protecting employer power.
NEW: The Union Bug — Mel Buer launches a brand-new show with a conversation on why worker-focused media matters, featuring Labor Radio Podcast Network’s Harold Phillips and Chris Garlock.
Shows You Should Know — Tariff debates, end-of-year wrap-ups, best-of episodes, and a look ahead to 2026, including: The Manufacturing Report, From A to Arbitration, Heartland Labor Forum, Canadian Union Podcast for Employees.

Credits / notes: This podcast is recorded under a SAG-AFTRA collective bargaining agreement. Edited this week by Patrick Dixon, Chris Garlock & Harold Phillips; produced by Chris Garlock; social media—always and forever—by Harold Phillips.
