Just in time for International Worker's Day we begin our show with an interview with local community organizer and playwright Daniel Smith to discuss his play "Slipping" which will be going up this weekend with the Open House theater company. The play follows a group of young people as they struggle with late-stage capitalism and their efforts to start a union at their work place.
We give you some details about what is on the ballot on the May 2nd election and give you some good news about the status of the potential car wash at Asylum Lake
We discuss a wide range of stories as we're joined by our full team of commentators- the late, great Harry Belafonte, Nancy Pelosi accepting an award from corporate health care lobbyists, Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon's respective firings from their mainstream news networks, Joe Biden's decision to run again and the decision to forgo primaries and debates, and how the state legislatures in Tennessee and Montana have gone out of their way to silence progressive politicians from the black and LGBTQ+ communities.
