Shifting Gears A multi-station project from WDET and PRX
PRX has worked with WDET, WUNC, KCUR and Louisville Public Media to produce a FREE two-hour special called Shifting Gears: The Retooling of the U.S. Auto Industry. The programs use interviews and multiple hosts to explore the community impact as auto companies transition during the recession.
Program One
WDET host Craig Fahle looks at the challenge of retraining auto workers; the hopes of an emerging electric truck company near Kansas City; and how a fresh political lineup on Capitol Hill is already changing the fortunes of the auto industry.
Program Two
WDET host Craig Fahle and The Story’s Dick Gordon look at the South as the new home of the U.S. auto industry with its social and labor implications. Host Julie Kredens looks at the prospects of two Louisville vehicle plants and their effect on wages. Finally, where auto designers think consumers want to go.
