WHAT IS WORKING 2050?
Working 2050 is a speculative oral history about workers of the future.
We talk to people about what they do all day and how they feel about it.
Then we write science fiction about what they say — and how the future might look in 2050.
EPISODE 1.01 -- PATHFINDER:
We interviewed Rabbi Menachem Cohen, a spiritual director and tabletop game designer in 2020.
Then, in the style of Studs Terkel's oral history Working, we interviewed Ursula Delany, a Pathfinder in 2050.

2020 Interviewee: Rabbi Menachem Cohen
2050 Interviewee: Ursula Delany, Pathfinder, played by Hunter Dunn.
Host/"The Narrator" (2020/2050): H Kapp-Klote
Mixing, Engineering, Sound Design: Katie In

OTHER NOTES:
This episode is a test run -- my hope is to get feedback and make Working 2050 even better.
Feel free to email me at kappklot@gmail.com with thoughts, feedback, and more.

Pathfinder is a real (and very popular) game from Dungeons and Dragons. The 2050 career as a whole is likely a direct descendant of RPG games like played with this system. However, this template is unlikely to be the basis for Ursula Delany's game The Demon Within.

We tell ourselves so many stories about work -- what we do all day, and how we feel about it.
When we imagine how people will feel about what they do all day in the future -- we get a little closer to changing the future for the better.

Mara talks about New Orleans in 2050. The future of New Orleans is also the future of water.
Re-composition Technician
Saison 1 · Épisode 5
mardi 14 avril 2020 • Durée 05:44
This Working 2050 episode is based on @recomposelife, a death care system and burial method that sequesters carbon and improves soil health. Mara Lazer did the voiceover and rocks, thank you for the time. https://buff.ly/3a3I5Aw
Show Notes:
Elmer has a large beard and an even larger thermos of coffee, which seems appropriate for a 6:30 AM meeting. The building where we meet is all glass and plants, a giant garden with 7 massive green cylinders on one side.
Elmer runs one of the City of Chicago’s main decomposition sites and memorial gardens for human remains. I couldn’t figure out what made them so full of energy until I realized we were meeting 4 hours into their work day: Elmer wakes up at 4:30 AM.

Working 2050: Artist
Saison 1 · Épisode 4
lundi 6 avril 2020 • Durée 01:59
Working 2050 is a speculative oral history about workers of the future.
"It's nice to make boxes. But... it's a niche, not my passion."
Thanks to Molly Pease for providing the voiceover. Show Notes and Transcript: NK Guin lives in a cooperative outside of Oak Lawn. She’s lived in the short term dormitory for 4 years: “I guess I just like bunk beds.” We met in the dorm’s kitchen:
“I don’t really know why I became an artist.
When I was 10 my dad put my art capstone for 4th grade on all of his social channels.
It was an artisan project: a really big deal for me, I’d spent months working on it, but nothing special, a 3D printed reclaimed mahogany box inlaid with silver. Special for a kid artist, not special for an artist artist.
I was a cute kid and the box was pretty nice, so I viraled for a minute, like anything with a cute kid with an out of the ordinary talent does.
I was reaching 2, maybe 3 million people at one point -- so my dad helped me set up my own channel -- an editorial calendar, microniches, keywords, a shop with sales items. There was a high demand for more wooden boxes like the type I made for my project, it didn’t matter to the buyers if they were 3D printer or not. So I started mass producing those, managing my own channel, taking art and marketing courses, and… here I am today.
What is your typical day like?
It’s pretty much the same every day. Wake up, read through all the comments on my channels from the night before. Answer all the shopping and community comments. Schedule some posts for the next few days. Make some videos, answer some questions about the boxes on live video.
Make boxes. Go to bed.
What do you like to do for fun?
Every now and then I’ll have some free hours, I’ll walk around outside. Be in nature. I like to write poetry, when I have time for that.
Do you ever think about switching over to that? Making more nature or poetry oriented work?
It’s not really my niche, you know? A lot of other producers are doing that, it’s a pretty competitive track. It would be hard to shift gears.
[Awkward silence].
I mean, I made a box with a tree on it a couple of months ago. Check it out.
[he projected an image of the box onto their projected home screen].
I mean… it’s cool, right? It’s a beech tree. For a while they weren’t sure if they were going to be any of these left in Illinois.
Really?
Yeah!
Why?
Oh… That’s all I know about it.
Is the box made of beech?
Oh… no. It’s way cheaper to buy red pine. And people don’t care what kind of wood the box is made out of, as long as it’s wood.
Do you like what you do all day?
I mean… who does? I’m not trying to save the world or anything. It’s not my passion -- it’s my niche. We all have different niches. My niche isn’t about teaching people how to build better sanitation systems, or stopping pandemics. My niche is that I build boxes. “

Episode 1: Beekeeper
“My mother always wanted me to be something practical, like an artist. Every time she visits she spends the whole visit following me at a distance. She waits until I’m totally geared up and starting morning chores, and then I realize she’s standing in the yard with her hands on her hips.”
