Work in Progress with Christopher Wong Michaelson
Work in Progress with Christopher Wong Michaelson discusses every working person's work in progress, namely, our quest to be fully human in a working world that all too often makes us feel like machines, in which we often don't even have time to think and that, in the words of Studs Terkel, too often feels like "a Monday through Friday sort of dying."
