Hosted by labor historians Laurie Mercier and  Norm  Diamond, this Old Mole show focuses on the great Seattle General  Strike of 1919.  Norm and Laurie discuss this model of workers power, not just to shut a city down, but to run it without bosses.  Bill Resnick talks with Rob Rosenthal about Rosenthal's rock opera Seattle 1919. Also on this program, we hear a review by Denise Morris and Chris Land of a locally made film about gender transition, Switch:  A Community in Transition.  To  hear the whole show, click on the arrow above.  To hear  the pieces  separately, and to learn more about the topics, follow the links below.
