Episode 37
Friday, 13 March, 2026
Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism. This week we have a follow-up from a previous questioner who wants more advice on what to do when your union breaks your heart--how to forgive, how to forget, and how to fix a labor movement that often doesn't take its duty of care seriously. And of course we check in about dogs, films, and life in late capitalist hell.Stuff We Talk About:Crime 101Disabled People and Care Workers Must Build Common Cause in the Fight for Better Conditions by Jamie HaleJudith Stepan-Norris and Maurice Zeitlin, Left Out: Reds and America’s Industrial UnionsNate Holdren, Injury Impoverished: Workplace Accidents, Capitalism, and Law in the Progressive EraErik Loomis, Empire of Timber: Labor Unions and the Pacific Northwest ForestsLes Leopold, The Man Who Hated Work and Loved Labor: The Life and Times of Tony MazzocchiDeath Panel PodcastWe are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and Sarah Jaffe, a journalist and author based in London.Buy Craig's Book: CyberbossBuy Sarah's Book: From the AshesYou can send us your questions at www.askmeanything.cc/heartreacts.This episode was produced by, well, us!
