This is the first episode of Unproductive Labor, a podcast made with support from Public Seminar. 

The innovations of the gig economy are not just about technology but change our expectations, and the laws, around what companies owe their workers. This introductory episode of Unproductive Labor will discuss the gig economy, how it may represent the leading edge of the transformation of work, plans for the podcast, and what listeners can expect. The episodes are presented by your hosts, Pete Sinnott and Luke Mergner.
