Working People on Unpaid Labour

The Working People podcast has started a new series on unpaid labour, starting with a stay-at-home mother and exploring the particular and general struggles of parenting without societal support for the work done. Working People has some great episodes, but I think highlighting the contributions and struggles of people who aren’t compensated for the work they contribute to our lives is immeasurably important and the most compelling thing they have brought forward.

Working People: A podcast by, for, and about the working class today. Working People is a podcast about working-class lives in 21st-century America. In every episode you’ll hear interviews with workers from around the country, from all walks of life. We’ll talk about their life stories, their jobs, politics, and families, their joys and hopes and frustrations. Overall, Working People aims to share and celebrate the diverse stories of working-class people, to remind ourselves that our stories matter, and to build a sense of shared struggle and solidarity between workers around the country.

In this first installment of our new series on unpaid labor, we chat with Bridget Huff, a stay-at-home mom and political organizer. We talk about Bridget’s life and about the pains, joys, and social pressures of being a stay-at-home parent. We also talk about how political organizations can and should make themselves accessible to folks like Bridget.
