Episode Synopsis

This week Erin was flying solo on the radio, but Val and Hedge were there in spirit. We have an interview with Christopher Blackwell, an incarcerated journalist in Washington discussing with Val and Hedge the challenges and dynamics of reporting from prison. The conversation covers a lot of ground: the limited technology available to even type and research stories, the dehumanization of incarcerated folks, how we can build community in prison and outside and more. Then Erin fills us in on the latest news this week, including an update on union busting at Planned Parenthood, the new rent stabilization laws in Washington and the Strippers' Bill of Rights. 03:20 Interview with Christopher Blackwell Begins31:59 The official cost of Union Busting at Planned Parenthood38:46 Rent Stabilization Legislation45:27 Strippers' Bill of Rights
