What gives your job meaning? On the next Your Call we'll speak with Paul Buhle and Harvey Pekar about their new graphic novel adaptation of Studs Terkel's Working. 35 years ago Studs published his interviews with parking lot attendants, corporate executives, newsboys, housewives, firemen and sailors about what they did all day and what it meant to them doing it. If Studs wanted to capture working life today, who would he need to talk to? Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 am. What do you do all day? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
