A fine, newly (re)discovered audio collage by Virtual Renderings / Chazk. One of his earliest works (2006) and one of his best. Mixing serious commentary, parody and satire, corporate propaganda, and highly relevant music, it explores American jobs, working conditions, the increasing hours and decreasing pay, the myth of upward social mobility, and related topics.
Voices heard include those of Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti, John Trudell, Barbara Ehrenreich, Utah Plillips, and others.
"New World Notes" is produced under the auspices (Latin for "aegis") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
I have shortened one musical passage in Part One owing to time limitations. Also I bleeped three racial/social epithets that many radio listeners will find offensive, The piece is otherwise uncut.
Owing to factors including the age of the original audio file, ambiguity and duplication of program names, and also (I think) a computer glitch, Chazk's "Observations on Work" is not easy to find on radio4all.net. It's there, though (as of June 2021).
This installment of NWN is also available, in MP3 and other formats, at The Internet Archive. The page with the download links is here: https://archive.org/download/nwn-694-observations-on-work-1-192k
