The end of April and the start of May is hailed as a sign of the beginning of summer as well as celebrating labor movements around the world. We're doing a little bit of both, excited for summer and discussing the importance of dignity for all workers, while also enjoying great music by Billy Bragg, Vashti Bunyan, Telling the Bees and more.
