Does it ever stop?

Just in time for Whadda Ya Wanna Know Wednesday, one of our listeners is making us smart. We talked a bit last week about eviction moratoriums happening around the country. Today we have a lawyer listener who wrote in on the issue. Plus: the coin shortage and diversity in public media.

Here’s a list of some of the stuff we talked about today:

“U.S. Experiencing Coin Shortage Due to Coronavirus Pandemic, Powell Says” from the Wall Street Journal
“Two leaders speak ‘uncomfortable truths’ about race in public radio” from Current
Kimberly’s appearance on “Reset” today talking about diversity in public media

And by the way, please help us improve this podcast by taking a quick anonymous survey at americanpublicmedia.org/survey.

None of us is as smart as all of us.

No matter how bananapants your day is, “Make Me Smart” is here to help you through it all— 5 days a week.

It’s never just a one-way conversation. Your questions, reactions, and donations are a vital part of the show. And we’re grateful for every single one.
