Consider This from NPR - What Lessons Have We Learned From The Covid Pandemic?

President Biden has officially ended the national emergency that was declared during the COVID-19 pandemic. But so far
there's been no official commission to look into how the country could be better prepared for the next pandemic.

Now, the non-partisan Covid Crisis Group has issued a report titled "Lessons from the Covid War." NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with the group's director, Philip Zelikow, about the report's findings.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

You're Wrong About - Debi Thomas with Leslie Gray Streeter

 In 1988, twenty-year-old American figure skater Debi Thomas headed to the Calgary Olympics to face off against East German juggernaut Katarina Witt. In the process, she became the first Black American in history to medal at a Winter Olympics. Then she disappeared from the sport. Where did she go, and who wasn’t there to catch her when she fell? This week, Leslie Gray Streeter tells Sarah about growing up watching Debi skate, where she is now, how her sport and her country failed her, and just how many people are missing from the stories we tell and the dreams we dream.

You can find Leslie online here.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: Hollywood’s Abuse Epidemic

For decades people knew that sexual abuse occurred in Tinseltown. It was an open, dirty secret just behind the curtain of the most popular films, tv and stage shows in the country. And the victims of abuse rarely spoke out -- when they did, they risked the ruination of their careers (or worse). In 2017 this began to change. World famous producer Harvey Weinstein was outed as a serial sexual and physical abuser, prompting his exile from his film company and encouraging numerous other victims of abuse to speak out. As the world wrestles with these revelations, more and more questions surface: Who knew what, and when? How far does this system go? Learn more in this classic episode.
