Take a Look, It's In a Book: "Anything Is Good"
Theo speaks with Ralph Silverman and Fred Waitzkin. Waitzkin is the author of the upcoming book "Anything is Good," an account of his friendship with Ralph ranging from their high school best friendship, through Ralph's experiences being unhoused in Florida, and Waitzkin's learning that his assumptions about the unhoused experience were far from the truth.

Also, a memorial for Jessica ‘Queen’ Mendez.
