Fairwork Podcast

 Fairwork

From online freelancing to couriering, domestic work to beauticians, digital platforms are radically changing the frontiers of work. This is a podcast series about the workers who make up the gig economy. Each episode we speak to workers who have made headlines with legal cases, taken part in strikes and those just quietly getting on with trying to put food on the table. We ask the big questions, looking at the political and the personal – exploring the radical changes to our world of work through the eyes of those at its centre. Written & Produced by Robbie Warin. Music by Louis Borlase. Fairwork is an action-research project based at the Oxford Internet Institute and the WZB Berlin Social Science Centre that evaluates and rates the working conditions of digital platforms across the world.
