Hello!

Today, we have on a guest we’re very excited about: Molly Crabapple who has a new book coming out called Here Where We Live is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund. We talk about the years she put into this book, which required her to learn Yiddish and travel the world, the realities of identity, what lessons the Bund has for today, and then we talk about Molly’s fight against AI, which has been stealing her illustrations for years. One of the best episodes we’ve done in a while so I hope you’ll take a listen!

The last three presidents — Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Donald Trump — have all had to deal with health care in America. And along the way, they've clashed with how politics works in Washington D.C. This created today’s environment where the understanding of science is scorned, medical disinformation thrives and the nation could be unprepared for the next health crisis.array(3) { [0]=> string(38) "https://www.tpr.org/podcast/the-source" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(1) "0" }
