As Labour tanks in pre-election polls, we visit a West Coast town that played an important role in the party's history. A miners' strike in Blackball in 1908 laid the foundation stone for Labour's formation eight years later. Today, the town of about 300 people has three watering holes and an artisan food industry that belies its size. But, is it still a political hotbed? Our reporter Jimmy Ellingham and cameraman Nick Monro find out in their first story from their pre-election South Island road trip.

She is also a former member of the Toronto Raptors Dance Pak and has worked in public relations for a national sports network. On this episode, Dr. Runstedtler joins Johanna Mellis and Nathan Kalman-Lamb to explain the history of the NBA's 1970s and how an era of anti-racist athletic labor struggle came to be discursively distorted as a 'dark age' for the professional basketball league. This wide-ranging conversation also covers cultural studies as an epistemological and methodological framework for understanding sport, youth sport as a site of child labor, dance as sport/labor, and so much more.
