从好莱坞到锈带，从演员到蓝领汽车工人，罢工潮席卷全美各地。
【聊了什么】
2023年见证了美国劳工运动的一次新高潮。从好莱坞的编剧和演员工会，到三大汽车厂的蓝领工人，全美各地的工人们联合起来，通过罢工争取到了一系列创纪录的合同。在通胀导致生活成本飙升的背景下，这些努力为工人阶级带来了更高的薪酬，从资方手中争取到了更多的利润分享。随着几场重要的罢工运动接近尾声，我们邀请到了一位亲身参与工人运动的嘉宾，深入探讨这场罢工潮的前因后果及其深远影响。

美轮美换的前身是“选·美 iAmElection”，一档由游天龙、talich、林垚、庄巧祎等人于2015年创立的中文播客，选·美聚集了一群关心美国政治的学者、律师、媒体人、观察者和爱好者，在2016年大选前后吸引了大量的听众和读者，成为一档现象级的播客。2020年大选前，talich等人重新推出了“美轮美换”，更新了16集。2023年，新一轮美国大选即将开始，我们决定将选·美和美轮美换的传统延续下去，推出新版的“美轮美换”播客。

【 What We Talked About】
In 2023, the American labor movement reached a new peak. From the writers and actors in Hollywood to the blue-collar workers of the Big Three automakers, workers across the U.S. united, securing a series of unparalleled contracts through strikes. These efforts led to increased wages for the working class and workers gaining a greater share of profits from employers amid rising living costs driven by high inflation. As several significant strikes draw to a close, we invited a guest who is actively involved in the labor movement to explore with us the origins, outcomes, and enduring effects of these strikes.

【Who We Are】
The American Roulette is a podcast dedicated to helping the Chinese-speaking community understand fast-changing U.S. politics.
The American Roulette’s predecessor is “iAmElection”, a Chinese-language podcast created by Tianlong You, Talich, Yao Lin, and Qiaoy Zhuangi in 2015. The podcast brought together a group of scholars, lawyers, media veterans, observers and enthusiasts who care about American politics. At the height of its popularity, it was featured in the New York Times, and attracted an estimated 70,000 audience who listened each month. For the 2020 election, Talich and others relaunched the podcast as "美轮美换" with 16 new episodes.
In 2023, as the new round of U.S. presidential election is about to begin, we’re building on the legacy of “iAmElection” and “美轮美换” to launch a new podcast that we hope will become your go-to American Politics podcast. We introduce: “美轮美换 The American Roulette.”
Our Hosts and Guests:
Talich: U.S. politics, history, and culture enthusiast
王浩岚 (Haolan Wang): American political enthusiast, chief writer at Lán Mù WeChat Official Account, and peddler of information
Lokin: U.S. law school student, incoming NY litigation lawyer
Yueran Zhang: Ph.D. candidate in Sociology, member of the UAW
This episode is produced by Talich and Xiao Hua, cover design by Huanqi, our audio editor for this episode is Xiao Hua. American Roulette is a part of Baihua Media.
