Six Thirteen is a ground-level union politics show centered on NALC Region 12 letter carriers. It is hosted by Bill Kreebel with co-host Keith Slusall, and the tone is closer to a shop-floor conversation than a polished policy panel. The show opens with formal disclaimers, then usually moves into easy back-and-forth: vacation recovery, weather, missed recordings, family life, music, and the practical mess of recording around work. Then the union talk takes over. Episodes return again and again to branch conditions, station problems, leadership accountability, and the question of what members are hearing from each other. The conversations are often personal. Guests are brought in to describe their own local reality rather than offer a single region-wide answer. Richie Ray appears in the pilot as a comfortable first conversation and a way to test the format. Zod marks a shift toward asking more direct questions about local, regional, and national conditions. Justin Janivier, Tyler, and other named figures become part of a growing map of how different offices are experiencing pressure in different ways. Article 8 forcing is one recurring flashpoint. Rallies, downloads, feedback from previous episodes, election stakes, and member turnout also shape the show’s ongoing thread. Bill and Keith frequently frame the project as a two-way conversation, inviting questions while acknowledging that every branch has its own circumstances. The language can be blunt, but the purpose is practical: make people feel less isolated in what they are seeing at work. Six Thirteen is strongest when it lets details accumulate from one episode to the next, showing how local stories can point toward larger regional frustrations. It is not detached journalism. It is opinionated, off-duty union talk from people trying to build momentum through conversation.
Made for: Suited to NALC Region 12 letter carriers, branch members, and union-minded postal workers following local leadership issues, workplace pressure, and union debate.
What sets it apart: Six Thirteen stands out by treating regional union politics as a rolling conversation among carriers, not a formal briefing. The show’s branch-by-branch storytelling gives listeners a practical sense of how different offices are handling similar problems.
Six Thirteen is a show designed for Letter Carriers in Region 12 of the NALC. It will feature conversations with fellow leadership members within the region.
