Project Labor

Stories & Solidarity

Project Labor podcast celebrates the daily grind by diving deep into the lives and careers of people doing interesting work.

Each episode asks the essential questions: What do you actually do all day? How do you feel about your work? And how’d you get here?

In honest, in depth conversations, we talk to everyone from union tradespeople, artists, small business owners, and daring career changers.

Join us in building a living catalog of the modern American workplace.

Whether you’re a student imagining your first step, a career changer looking for a fresh start, or just somebody curious about the reality faced by workers today, we’re going to shine a light on the daily life, passion, and dignity that make up labor today.
