We Love Boosters

On this week’s Labor Heritage Power Hour: As America celebrates Independence Day, we ask whose stories of freedom get told. This week: the People's 250 campaign reclaims working-class history, historian Carrie Rael revisits the largest strike in Disneyland history, Kathleen Newman joins us to unpack Boots Riley's wildly original new film I Love Boosters, Patrick Dixon explores a historic Philadelphia labor landmark, and Labor History in 2:00 traces the origins of New Orleans' iconic po'boy sandwich—all framed by the enduring words of Frederick Douglass.

Broadcast on July 2, 2026; hosted by Chris Garlock and Elise Bryant; produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Kahlia Chapman.
The Labor Heritage Power Hour is a member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network and syndicated on Pacifica’s Audioport.
