The latest episode of Notes From the Edge is about work, which got us thinking about work songs. We talk with blues musician Valerie June about music, care, the history of the work song, and her anthem "Working Woman Blues."

Just in time for Labor Day, NOTES FROM THE EDGE explores the connection between work and care with domestic worker advocate Ai-jen Poo (National Domestic Workers Alliance) and writer Jenny Odell (How to Do Nothing). Plus, we hear about an anthem for working women from musician Valerie June.

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, NOTES FROM THE EDGE looks beyond the fireworks and fanfare, and examines the stories we tell about who we are as a country. Host Jeff Chang talks monuments with Jamelle Bouie (NYT columnist), Paul Farber (Monument Lab). He also talks with three culture makers—Leyla McCalla, La Doña and Julian Brave Noisecat—about their ideal national anthem.
