Voices At Work

This week we spoke with Brian Frederick from Media Matters For America, a web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.

We also played some tracks from a pro-labor "Folk Rock / Punk / Celtic" band called The Rabble Rousers, inspired by the international labor union movement. As artists, they realized the best way to give support to the movement is to write and record music to give the movement a new soundtrack.
