Topic 3: Workers' Rights. COVID-19 has singlehandedly taken out a good share of our workforce.

Unprisoned Season 2 Radio Hour: The Myths We Hold About Our Criminal Legal System
From Eve Abrams | Part of the Unprisoned series | 52:59
In this hour we hear two stories interrogating two myths about our criminal legal system. First up is The Myth of The Super Predator, an idea first made famous by then-first lady Hillary Clinton and one we still haven't fully shaken off: that some children -- almost always Black and brown children -- are beyond redemption.
Next is Victim/Criminal, the story of Hakeem Carter, who was brutally attacked while walking home from work one night. Once Hakeem had physically healed, he was still traumatized mentally; he only felt safe when he had a gun. One night while walking with a friend, police stopped Hakeem and searched him. Though Hakeem had a legal permit to own his gun, he did not have a conceal-to-carry license. Hakeem was prosecuted as though he were a criminal. The system never saw him as a victim.

First up is The Myth of The Super Predator, an idea first made famous by then-first lady Hillary Clinton and one we still haven't fully shaken off: that some children -- almost always Black and brown children -- are beyond redemption. We follow the story of Joel Ware, who was an accomplished criminal by age 14 and served Juvenile Life in prison until the age of 21. Joel went on to become a highly successful social worker and, subsequently, an engineering student. His life story refutes the super predator myth and lays bear society's actual challenges.

Reveal’s American Rehab exposes how a treatment for drug addiction has turned tens of thousands of people into an unpaid shadow workforce.
In Episode 1, we meet Penny Rawlings, who is relieved to get her brother into drug rehab at a place called Cenikor. She doesn’t realize that getting him out of treatment is going to be the bigger problem.
Cenikor’s model has its roots in Synanon: a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind rehab that started in the 1950s on a California beach. Its charismatic leader, Charles Dederich, mesmerized the nation by claiming to have developed a cure for drug addiction. But as it spread across the country, Dederich wanted the rehab to turn into something else: a business.

From BYUradio/KUMT/KBYU-FM | Part of the The Apple Seed series | 54:58
Join us today as we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and we share stories and songs, bringing focus to the Civil Rights Movement.
We’re thinking about Doctor King’s work today, and the long and arduous fight for civil rights. And on this special episode of The Apple Seed, we’ll bring you stories from some of our favorite storytellers that not only have something to say about Doctor King and other Civil Rights heroes, but also have something to say about living together as human beings in peace and respect, even when we’re different from each other.
We’ll hear from Charlotte Blake Alston with a rhyming primer on the life of Martin Luther King Jr., and Diane Ferlatte with a story about getting along with her mother-in-law. We’ll hear from Kate Dudding with the story of Ruby Bridges, and we’ll hear from the Broadway and television actor Charles Holt, who created a one-man performance that featured not only speeches from Martin Luther King, but also some of the songs associated with the Civil Rights movement.

Cheating has a ripple effect. And in baseball’s steroid era, the lies and rule breaking extended far beyond the stars that sparked the scandal. Players at all levels of the game had to decide if they should use—and reap the benefits—or stay clean. In this hour-long special from Religion of Sports and PRX, we’ll learn how steroids took hold of baseball and meet two men whose choices reveal a story that Major League Baseball would rather forget.
