America Works Season 5

 

During Joe's time at the Library of Congress, he helped curate and produce the fifth season of the America Works podcast. This season focuses on African American workers who play key roles in their communities. The podcast includes short, five-minute stories from various professionals like luthiers (makers of stringed instruments), funeral directors, farmers, and chefs. The series is part of the Occupational Folklife Project, which aims to record the stories of American workers.
