Meaghan McGoldrick's a Brooklyn Original! 

A journalist, a muckraker, digging into the details of a good scoop and now Editor In Chief at the Brooklyn Paper, a weekly newspaper that covers news and cultural events that have taken place throughout the borough.

Eric and Meaghan talk about growing up in the Bayridge area of Brooklyn, losing a parent, journalism getting nationalized, Bayridge characters, and why local news coverage is so important (and how it gets done during a pandemic).

They'll also discuss well her work with Cancer Can't Kill Love, an annual benefit concert where Eric first met Meaghan.

We get into the weeds of labor policy with economist and self-described former upright bassist Brian Callaci of Data & Society.

Hear why it's weird to argue against unions with republicans, Brian's visit to Amazon, drinking economics school kool-aid, why robots would be great, the brief and privileged history of labor unions, and that maybe the world's not going to end.
