Working Lives in Three Audiobooks
Contributor Stephen Cummings joins host Jo Reed to talk about David Pogue’s Apple: The First 50 Years, which Pogue narrates with the confidence and curiosity of a longtime tech journalist, weaving in archival
clips and company lore. They turn to Noam Scheiber’s Mutiny: The Rise and
Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class, where André Santana’s restrained and intelligent narration underscores the frustrations of workers organizing at companies like Starbucks, Amazon, and Apple. Finally, Woody Brown’s Upward Bound employs a strong cast led by T. R. Knight to explore life inside an underfunded adult day program, giving its central character a vivid and deeply affecting inner voice. All three audiobooks look closely at ambition, labor, and the gap between how work is imagined and how it’s lived.

Apple: The First 50 Years written and read by David Pogue (Simon & Schuster Audio)
Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class by Noam Scheiber, read by André Santana (Macmillan Audio)
