"Knock Knock....Who's earning 15 cents an hour?" Two emotionally charged stories made this a doozy of week. The 'net neutrality bill got torpedoed in the House, and iPods are being built in sweatshops. Is it really all that bad? Or is it actually much worse? In this week's show, TMO's Dave Hamilton joins Anchor Ricky Spero to whip up some Context.
The Weekly Roundup will be included in TMO's main RSS feed, and also in its own feed if you'd like to add it directly to your podcatching client.
