The Macademia Nuts finally catch up on the Oscars, and express a lack of enthusiasm for future viewing. Other topics include controversies surrounding superhero actors, Christian re-editing services, The Mandalorian, and the history of Tex-Mex food. This leads to an extended discussion of food, including robot food delivery. The Nuts shamelessly beg Panda Express for a sponsorship.

The USC Center for PR’s 2023 Relevance Report found that 47% of consumers believe corporations should get involved with social issues by focusing on internal policies and issues. But what does that look like in action?

In this episode, we talk with communication leaders spearheading various corporate social engagement efforts at their organizations. Discover the philosophy behind the creation of corporate social engagement programs such as NBCUniversal's Creative Impact Lab, Grubhub's initiatives to assist independent restaurants during the pandemic and Union Pacific Railroad's strategies for employee engagement.

While corporate social engagement exists in a variety of forms, professionals agree that one thing is constant: Companies must stay true to their core values and business model.

We care deeply about where our food comes from, scrutinizing how it’s grown to who prepares it and the values of the companies along the supply chain. Do we care about the person who takes it the last mile, delivering it to your door? In 2020 delivery workers in NYC created Los Deliveristas Unidos demanding five essential rights: a living wage, essential protection from theft, violence, wage theft, and safety hazards. They are still essential and unprotected. On this episode, host Jenifer Leuzzi talks with Ligia Guallpa, executive director of the Worker’s Justice Project (WJP), and Josh Wood, delivery driver and leader of Los Deliveristas Unidos (LDU) about how the current ecosystem of delivery apps de-humanizes workers, and the real world costs of convenience.
