On this week’s Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: A labor law analysis of what could happen under the new Trump administration, on the Power at Work podcast. On the Voice of the People podcast, H1B or not 2B, that’s the visa question. Then, a master class in bladesmithing with Tony Bravo, on the Power Line Podcast. On The Director’s Cut, Barry Jenkins discusses Mufasa: The Lion King with Ben Affleck. And in our final segment, from Australia, the Stick Together podcast brings us the fascinating story of the Eureka Rebellion, when in 1854 the army and police attacked miners for daring to call for the end of mining licenses and universal suffrage.
