Wow! Lots of great resources here to listen to labor talk radio.
I’ve listened to the Rick Smith show for quite a while now, and his show is absolutely brilliant. If he ever runs for public office, we’d be fools to not vote him in!
And the Workers Independent News is a resource I hope we never have to live without! We need to get all of the liberal-progressive radio stations to play their updates!
On a side note, Showalter’s program (the Union Edge) went off air last year. His website is out of date, too.
EFCA or bust!
Folks in the Pacific NW might want to tune to our own Labor Neighbor Radio. For more info contact>

Organize!
We need the AFL and CtW to unite with progressive media activists and liberal tv, radio, music, and film people to buy radio and tv stations and have our own network of programs. Let those of us who produce control the means of production and the content of the media.
