New NPR Series: "We Keep Us Safe" from the Embedded podcast

In the summer of 2020, sixteen-year-old Antonio Mays Jr. traveled a thousand miles to join the racial justice movement of his generation in the wake of George Floyd's killing. Antonio arrived in Seattle during the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, known as CHOP. Less than a week later, he was shot and killed there. The case remains unsolved. In this eight-part series, hosts Sydney Brownstone of The Seattle Times and Will James of KUOW team up with NPR's Embedded to investigate Antonio's death. They track down key eyewitnesses and surface crucial evidence that's never been made public. Find "We Keep Us Safe" in the Embedded podcast feed.

Some doubted these athletes were even women at all. And their skepticism resulted in the first policies requiring sex testing.

Tested (Ep 1): The Choice

New from NPR's Embedded podcast and CBC in Canada: Would you alter your body for the chance to compete for a gold medal? That's the question facing a small group of elite athletes right now. Last year, track and field authorities announced new regulations that mean some women can't compete in the female category unless they lower their body's naturally occurring testosterone levels. You'll meet one of those runners, Christine Mboma, a reigning Olympic silver medalist, and hear about the difficult choice she faces.

The best thing to do next

Very often, particularly when life is a little too overwhelming, the next best thing to do is... listen to an Invisibilia episode.
GREAT

Of all the podcasts I have subscribed to, this is the one I keep returning to, hungering. The scope, the surprises, the compassionate approach inform me on a deeper level. I once organized an exhibit called “what you don’t know about me” about the secret creative lives of women. One woman ended up going missing and is still disappeared to this day. A mystery wrapped inside of an enigma. This podcast unravels and decodes these “gestaltian holes”, making some kind of resolution possible. A great service is provided to our psyches.
Amazing Podcast

Simply amazing. The hosts, topics, presentation and production of this Podcast is top notch. Not to mention that in the two weeks I have been listening so far I learned valuable lesson applicable in my professional and personal life. Many thanks dear Invisibilia team (all, not only hosts), keep doing what you do. With kind regards, Sebastian
