- throwaway2037 4y agoThis episode is incredible! I also listened to it a few years ago. It provided so much insight into (a) Japanese vs American manufactoring and (b) the impact of poor labour union relations. (Please do not read [b] as me being personally anti-labour union. Some of the revelations from union members in that podcast were shocking to me -- drinking and drugging while on the manuf line!)
