About this listen

The teacher is pulling out the TV to watch a movie in class today. I think we've all earned it!

In the first episode of the Labor in Pop Culture series, we're taking a deep dive into the way labor organizing shows up in the hit TV show Severance (spoilers ahead!). From talking about the portrayal of Lumon that pulls from real world corporate shenanigans to the steady building of unity amongst the workers that ultimately leads to resistance, to the wilder aspects of the show (waffle party anyone?), this is a fun one!
