Are We Living in ... Medieval Times? w/Jake ”The Knight” Bowman

It's the season of unions, and we've found a union story that's nearly mythic.

In February, performers at the Buena Park, CA, location of the Spanish-chivalry-dinner-theater-experience Medieval Times went on strike. They claim dangerous working conditions, low pay, sexual harassment, and unacceptable treatment of the horses all contribute to a work environment that is (might as well just say it) medieval. 

In this episode, we talk to union organizer and strike captain Jake Bowman about living out the modern metaphor of a peasants' revolt, joining a union with The Rockettes, and why it's still cool to be a knight even if life and limb hang in the balance.

Forsooth it is verily an episode about the state of labor in Ye Olde United States!
