#WorkerCooperatives #Coops #Punchcard #PunchcardPod #PunchcardPodcast
Season 1 explored everything from making decisions and workplace democracy, to overcoming financial difficulties, to rethinking traditional approaches to diversity & inclusion.
See more highlight here!

Season 1 was funded internally by @workers_coop who unfortunately are unable to continue supporting Punchcard in the same way.
For Season 2, it's moving to a listener-funded model. The goal is simple: 🎯 50 listeners contributing £5/month to keep Punchcard going.
If you're able to support, please do so (via @opencollective): https://opencollective.com/workerscoop/projects/punchcard/contribute/custom-76924/checkout?interval=month&amount=5&name=&legalName=&email=

Worker cooperatives are still a relatively unknown and confusing concept to most people. The dominant narrative tells workers to either accept exploitation or climb the ladder by exploiting others, and nothing about worker cooperatives.
Punchcard is the only podcast dedicated to spotlighting and showcasing that worker cooperatives are innovating and creating the worker owned and controlledcontrol future we need.
