Headlines From The Times - What COVID-19 wrought on Black men
Black people are two and a half times more likely to be hospitalized, and 1.7 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than whites.
That stat from the CDC is shocking. But it’s not exactly surprising. Not to people like L.A. Times reporter Marissa Evans.
Her father, Gary Evans, is now one of nearly 97,000 Black people in America who’ve died from COVID-19 complications.
And while Marissa is willing to accept her father’s death, on today’s episode, she says she refuses to accept that losing all these Black men is normal ... or OK.
Host: Gustavo Arellano
Guests: L.A. Times healthcare reporter Marissa Evans

Everything Everywhere Daily - Esperanto and the Search for a Global Language
Subscribe to the podcast!
https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/
Around 1887, a Polish ophthalmologist set out to create a universal language. A language that could be a second language for everyone around that world that no one country or one people would control.
It was a good idea, but things didn’t quite pan out as he had hoped, and along the way, there was shockingly violent resistance to the new language.
Learn more about Esperanto, how it was developed and its status in the world today, on this episode of ĉio ĉie ĉiutage.

Taylor Lorenz, a former content cop who went after creators and now writes on the lives of internet-famous teens for a living, claims she’s really the victim of online attacks. And Senate Democrats are convinced that newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson faced worse treatment on the Senate floor than Justice Brett Kavanaugh. But Mary Katharine and Vic question who the real victim is here.

NBN Book of the Day - Todd R. Clear and Natasha A. Frost, “The Punishment Imperative: The Rise and Failure of Mass Incarceration in America” (NYU Press, 2015)
Over the last 40 years, the US penal system has grown at an unprecedented rate―five times larger than in the past and grossly out of scale with the rest of the world. In The Punishment Imperative: The Rise and Failure of Mass Incarceration in America (New York University Press, 2013), criminologists Todd Clear and Natasha Frost argue that America’s move to mass incarceration from the 1960s to the early 2000s was more than just a response to crime or a collection of policies adopted in isolation; it was a grand social experiment. Tracing a wide array of trends related to the criminal justice system, this book charts the rise of penal severity in America and speculates that a variety of force have finally come together to bring this great social experiment to an end.
Todd R. Clear is University Professor of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, Newark. He was also the founder of Rutgers University-Newark’s New Jersey Scholarship and Transformative Education in Prisons (NJ-STEP) consortium.
Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press, 2020).
