The American Resolution

The Fantastic 4...Day Workweek


Listen Later

On the inaugural episode of "The American Resolution," host Heather Gardner solves the issue of American burnout with the fantastic four-day workweek!

First, Heather is joined by comedian Juliana LaBarbiera to break down the social media "Tradwife" trend (1:30) and test whether Juliana can detect whether a statement is fact or opinion - a skill that many Americans struggle with (5:00).

Then, Heather does a deep dive into the history of the American five-day, 40-hour workweek that's leading to record levels of burnout (10:00) and the momentum building to scale back our work-obsessed society.

Finally, she talks to Charlotte Lockhart, managing director and co-founder of 4 Day Week Global, a company whose sole mission is to help companies and governments transition workers to a 32-hour, four-day workweek with no loss in productivity or pay (17:00), a concept that's also being championed by Senator Bernie Sanders!
