Producer Jacob Smith was interviewed on Morning Magazine with Maeve Conran on KGNU Boulder (88.5 FM) today. Jacob spoke about his inspiration for the Waking the Sleeping Giant, including growing income inequality and the emergence of a 21st century progressive movement:
"We were seeing minimum wage ballot initiatives pass in red states, Thomas Piketty’s book did really well on the New York Times list, we were watching local communities fight really large corporations like Chevron, and win, in local races, despite lots of corporate races in those races."
