In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Emily Callaci discuss the Wages for Housework movement, highlighting the 1970s campaign demanding payment for unpaid labor in the home or “housework”. Dr. Callaci explains the movement's relevance today, noting that women's unpaid work has significant economic consequences. The conversation explores the historical context, the five key figures behind the movement, and the economic and cultural implications of unpaid housework. Callaci emphasizes the need for recognition of and payment for housework to address gender inequality and improve women's autonomy and economic well-being.    Key Takeaways: A recent statistic from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows women's unpaid work in the US has a value of about $3.6 trillion. The economy would grind to a halt without the housework that is, primarily, done by women: cooking, cleaning, laundry, child-rearing, etc.  The wages for housework movement are not gendered; they equally affect men and women who do housework.  Recognizing the work that people do, paid and unpaid, is the first step in really transforming the social consciousness.   "Wages for housework was not arguing that we should all become housewives and that should be our profession instead of the other things we might want to do. Rather, it was about recognizing the way that work is exploited. In our economic system, if you don't recognize it, if you don't see it and name it, then how can you overcome it?" —  Dr. Emily Callaci   Connect with Dr. Emily Callaci: Professional Bio: https://history.wisc.edu/people/callaci-emily/   Books: Street Archives and City Life: https://www.dukeupress.edu/street-archives-and-city-life  Wages for Housework: penguin.co.uk/books/442807/wages-for-housework-by-callaci-emily/9780241502907    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net     Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Citylife welcomes back Dan Lian for a powerful message on Matthew 6: 25 – 33. We worry when we can't control the details of our lives but Jesus teaches that our Heavenly Father is already in the details and faithfully provides for even the birds of the air and the flowers in the field. Replace worry with a worshipful heart and walk in the freedom Jesus promises.

Prophetic Remixes Vol 1 – A Tribute to Prophets of Da City For me, this project is more than just a remix album—it's a personal journey, a tribute, and a deep expression of gratitude. I still remember the first time I heard Prophets of Da City (POC) back in 1990 when their debut album Our World dropped. As a hip-hop fan growing up in South Africa, their music wasn't just entertainment—it was an awakening. POC didn't just make beats and rhymes; they made history. Their hard-hitting lyrics and groundbreaking production hit me just as hard as the first time I heard Public Enemy. It was raw, urgent, and unapologetic—revolutionary in every sense. POC were more than just a hip-hop group; they were pioneers, activists, and truth-tellers. At a time when South Africa was drowning in apartheid oppression, they used their music as a weapon against injustice. From battling censorship to being exiled from their own country, their impact was undeniable. Their accolades speak for themselves: 1990: Nominated for the OKTV Award for Best New Group. 1992: Invited by Quincy Jones and Caiphus Semenya to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. 1993: Embarked on a national voter education campaign leading up to South Africa's first democratic elections. 1994: Performed at Nelson Mandela's inauguration, delivering their powerful track "Excellent, Finally Black President." 1997: Featured in Ice Cube's film Dangerous Ground. 1990s: Conducted numerous European tours, a groundbreaking achievement for any South African hip-hop group at the time. POC's influence has been so profound that they've been studied in academic works, including:

Elias Makos begins the week with guests Gabriel Retta, is a Montrealer active in politics and government service at all three levels for the last 20 years and currently serving as Chief of Staff to the Official Opposition at Montreal City Hall, and Jimmy Zoubris, special advisor to the Mayor. A powerful thunderstorm swept through Montreal on Sunday causing major disruptions across the city. A new Léger survey ranking happiness levels across Quebec shows Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures as the happiest city, with Montreal landing in 50th place. Verdun borough councillor Enrique Machado has resigned from Projet Montréal after making a derogatory comment comparing Venezuelans to Indigenous people on social media. Mark Carney has agreed to set up a conflict-of-interest screen with the Ethics Commissioner and will recuse himself from any discussions involving 103 different companies.

“City Life, Creeping Gentrification and Flesh-eating Snakes:” now that's a gripping tagline! Josh Green, editor of Urbanize Atlanta, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss his new novel, “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” which explores gentrification and urban development through the eyes of the fictional journalist, Archie “God” Johnson. From the Rust Belt to Urbanize Atlanta Green grew up in the Rust Belt and describes it as the “polar opposite of the growing Sun Belt population explosion.” As he began to explore the country, he was fascinated by the vibrance and quick growth of Atlanta and many Florida cities. Now the editor of Urbanize Atlanta, Green taps into his passion for urban development every day, providing readers with detailed perspectives on all things Atlanta. Urbanize Atlanta celebrates its fourth anniversary this year. Green said, “You get on the ground with a camera and just really explore the curiosities about what's happening and how it all links together.” Goodbye Sweetberry Park Following the success of his short story collection, “Dirtyville Rhapsodies” and first novel, “Secrets of Ash,” Green released a new novel, “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” earlier this year. The novel chronicles the joys and struggles of a fictional veteran journalist covering a chaotic summer in Atlanta. “It's kind of an amalgamation of a lot of different, fun, beautiful, lovely, troubled, historic intown Atlanta places ranging from West End to Cabbagetown,” said Green. “There's Grant Park mixed in, the fictional Zoo and then where I'm living now, Kirkwood and some Oakhurst.” “Goodbye Sweetberry Park” offers a more personal perspective of gentrification in Atlanta neighborhoods. Green says he draws from his experiences as an Atlanta reporter, so this novel serves as his “street-level” perspective on the topic. One of Green's early influences for the novel was an Atlanta Magazine article he wrote, “The Gentrifier.” He detailed his experience in buying a larger intown home for his family and becoming a “gentrifier” in the process. The article went on to win an Atlanta Press Association Award and sparked major conversations about modernization in the city. Green states that the neighborhood transformation that has stuck with him is the Atlanta Beltline. The trails offer alternative transportation, while restaurants and recreation are big influences for tourism to the city. As Atlanta grows and develops, the Beltline is an asset to connect residents to work, home and attractions. What About Affordable Housing? Transit-oriented development is one way that Green sees Atlanta adding affordable housing. Neighborhoods such as Candler Park are already one step ahead, converting unused MARTA parking lots into brilliant housing complexes and retail centers. With convenient proximity to local MARTA stations and rapid bus routes, residents can take transportation out of their monthly budgets, which makes housing more attainable in the long run.

About Josh Green Josh Green is the editor of Urbanize Atlanta, a popular news site known for its colorful, up-close coverage of Atlanta. In March 2025, he released his second book, Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” a brand-new story behind “Secrets of Ash,” the first installation in his Peach-State trilogy. “Dirtyville Rhapsodies,” his published book of short stories, was highly acclaimed from the start, named “Best Book for the Beach” by Men's Health and in Atlanta Magazine's “Top 10 Books of 2013.” Podcast Thanks Thank you to Denim Marketing for sponsoring Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.

In this Webworm podcast, a story I've been working on for some time. Just over a year ago — in March of 2024 — I got an email from Jake. He had a story he wanted to tell, and he wanted to find a way to tell it that could help others. A warning, of sorts. And so over the last year, as a court case played out — I've been working on this story. It takes place in and around CityLife church in Melbourne. And while this story is a warning, I also think it's a story about the truth, justice, and pushing back against institutions that allow abuse to happen. This piece discusses emotional and physical abuse that may be distressing for some readers, so please take care when reading. For more see https://www.webworm.co This is a public episode.

For 60 years, New York composer Steve Reich has been one of classical music's most celebrated revolutionaries. Pioneering minimalism in the 1960s, a musical style based on repetition and shifting rhythms, his strange experiments with cassette tape led to orchestral masterpieces – now performed around the world. His career has not only helped define the latest era of classical music, but had an enormous influence on pop, rock and electronica. He has helped shape 20th Century music in a way few can claim to match. To mark 60 years since his first major piece,1965's It's Gonna Rain, he takes Alastair Shuttleworth through the process and stories behind some of his greatest works, including Clapping Music, Different Trains and City Life.

What happens when the high-paced glamour of city life loses its shine? In this episode, I'm joined by my friend, Claire Denault, a second-generation homeschool mom and public speaker, who shares her transformative journey from the opulence of Dallas to the quiet, intentional living of a small North Carolina town. Claire opens up about the stark contrast between high-profile city life and the deeply fulfilling existence she's found in nature, family, and presence.We explore her unique upbringing on a hobby farm in upstate New York, her quest for excitement in the city, and her ultimate realization that true contentment lies in simplicity. A passionate advocate for homeschooling and strong family connections, Claire challenges the modern rush for “more” and makes a compelling case for slowing down, tuning in, and embracing a life rooted in what truly matters. Whether you're a parent, a city dweller contemplating change, or simply curious about a different way of life, this episode will leave you inspired to rethink the choices that shape your daily world.Links Discussed in This Episode |Previous Episode: The Secret to Raising Resilient Kids | Tovah Klein (EP360)Connect with Claire:InstagramAbout Claire |Claire Denault is an innovative educator and entrepreneur advocating for alternative learning approaches.
