The world is a dumpster fire. Work wives, best friends, and TV writer/producers Amy and Grace want to help. As a reflex to the madness on the news, they are keeping it positive, uplifting and opinionated. They talk about cultural moments they are obsessing over, talk to people they adore and respect, reveal what inspires them, and let us in on the self-care that keeps them grounded. And since they’re comedy writers, they bring a level of fun and sophistication to all of it. During these trying times we all need a show that focuses on joy in general. Black joy in particular. This is the Antidote.

There is an idea about how people learn to read that is deeply entrenched in American education. It is wrong and children are being harmed by it. An increasing number of people – including parents, teachers, and policymakers – are recognizing there’s a problem. Even people who sold the idea are realizing they were wrong. How did this happen? In this new podcast, we get to the bottom of what happened and why. It’s a story about people who wanted to help children but were so sure about how to do it that they couldn’t see the fault in their beliefs. It’s also a story about political power, corporate influence, gullible consumers, weak oversight, and low expectations for children, particularly kids of color. At the center of the story are three of the most recognized and revered literacy experts in America and the company that has been profiting from their work for decades. Sold a Story introduces us to the kids and families who have been harmed, the teachers who have been misled, the school leaders who were supposed to know better and the sellers who are being called to account. It’s a riveting expose of how an education system came to believe something that isn’t true and is now reckoning with the consequences.

Utah’s wilderness therapy programs, boarding schools and group homes have made it the epicenter of the teen treatment industry in the U.S. The programs promise counseling, education and putting miles of deserts and mountains between the kids and their bad influences back home. But inside the industry, abuse festered—rapes, assaults, riots, and deadly accidents. This podcast follows the story of a single treatment facility through the voices of the girls who went through it. Reporters from three news organizations joined forces to investigate how a state that prides itself on clean living and family values allowed that to happen—and whether its leaders will be able to fix the problem now.

The sixth season of The Uncertain Hour looks at two outsized American obsessions: the perceived dangers of so-called “welfare dependency,” and the virtues of work. These two ideas are often taken as articles of faith in our country.
