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

The Intelligence from The Economist - Gota the trouble: Sri Lanka’s crises
Through ineptitude and bad timing, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa—known as Gota—has driven his country toward ruin. Its people want him out. Russian forces have occupied Kherson since early March. We hear a report from the ground about life under foreign occupation. And tasting awamori, a Japanese spirit that distillers may lift from the doldrums simply by watering it down.

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.
