In our latest episode, we're excited to speak with labor journalist and author Sarah Jaffe (@sarahljaffe) about her new book "Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted and Alone." In the episode, we discuss her new book, the evolution of work and the working class and the gender dynamics at play through it. We talk about the "labor of love" myth, work in the education, non-profit, essential care sectors and more. At the end, Sarah quotes W.E.B. Dubois and Bob reads us some Uncle Whiskers.

Great episode and Sarah's book is an important piece of work that is required reading for the Green and Red Podcast audience.
