Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
It’s one of the most dangerous jobs in America: taxi driving. In this special joint episode from ReWork and Making Contact, we’ll hear a radio adaptation of TeAda Productions’ play Global Taxi Driver, and we’ll take a ride to meet the cab drivers at one of the country’s busiest airports.
Featured speakers/guests:
Abate Teferi and Daniel Kassa, taxi drivers at LAX and organizers with National Taxi Workers Alliance; Teada Productions’ Global Taxi Driver Director and Cast: Leilani Chan, Shaan Dasani, Elyse Dinh, Kenesha Hemmings, Joshua Lamont, Marcos Najera, and Ova.
