Fire on the Prairire: Nov. 2005
This month, Emily Udell interviews Barbara Ehrenreich. Ehrenreich's new book Bait and Switch is an account of her odyssey through the world of job fairs, career coaches, networking events and white-collar job insecurity.

Also on this episode are readings about home and homelessness from members of the Neighborhood Writing Alliance, a Chicago organization dedicated to the notion that every person is a philosopher. The NWA hosts workshops around the city and puts out the quarterly publication the Journal of Ordinary Thought.
