Her op-eds and essays have also been published in the New York Times,Washington Post, and Politico, among other media outlets. Her book, Rectify: The Power of Restorative Justice After Wrongful Conviction, was recently published by Beacon Press.

Randy Shaw – Generation Priced Out

https://lftlc.com/carriage/InDeep_AngieCoiro_181124P.mp3 Show #223 | November 24, 2018 | The class divide in America's big city has a companion: a generational breach. Long-time housing activist and attorney Randy Shaw says that, through policy and politics, Baby Boomers have contributed to the urban housing crisis - leaving millennials out in the cold.     Shaw traveled the country, visiting housing stakeholders in a dozen urban centers. He spoke with renters, homeowners, builders, politicians. His new book, Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in the New Urban America, combines these interviews with policy critique and details on plans that work getting housing built. And he questions some long-standing conventional wisdom - for example, the inevitability of gentrification.

Chris Taich and Dr. Ruchika Mishra: What Does A Good Death Look Like?

https://lftlc.com/carriage/InDeep_AngieCoiro_181117P.mp3 Show #222 | November 17, 2018 | Everybody dies. And we all know that - at least, intellectually. But how realistically do we approach our own ends?     Statistically, it's a mixed bag. More elderly and hospitalized people have Do Not Resuscitate orders in place than ever before. But most American adults don't have a will ready. A third don't carry life insurance. Only one in five has told their friends and family how they'd like their own death dealt with.     What does a "good death" look like? How helpful can we expect the medical profession to be when the time comes - for example, respecting that DNR order, or talking frankly with us about what's ahead? What can hospice offer a client and their family - and who's lucky enough to have access to that?     Guests: Chris Taich is with the non-profit Program in Medicine and Human Values at Sutter Health here in the San Francisco Bay Area.To embed an audio player with...

Soraya Chemaly – Rage Becomes Her: Transformative Anger

https://lftlc.com/carriage/InDeep_AngieCoiro_181020W_chemaly.mp3 Show #219 | October 20, 2018 | Women get told to smile - a lot. Research shows that a neutral expression is perceived on a man's face as neutral, but as angry or negative on a woman. And all kinds of ugly words are reserved for woman who show anger.     Where others see female anger as something to fear or reject, Soraya Chemaly sees strength, even opportunity. With the Women's Media Center Speech Project, and as organizer of the Safety and Free Speech Coalition, she's pushed for wider exposure of women's voices, and worked to curb online abuse. Now, she's encouraging women to embrace their rightful anger. In her new book Rage Becomes Her, Chemaly links patriarchy and misogyny to the traditional repression of women's full range of emotion. She goes beyond simple rejection of "Smile, honey!" to an embrace of anger as a personally and politically transformative tool.     Soraya Chemaly joins Angie Coiro in a provocative conversation about a downright dangerous...
