    In her new book, Dr. Kemi Doll says Black women are facing a 'gynecological health crisis'

    Black women face higher rates of uterine fibroids compared to white women. They’re less likely to get accurate diagnoses for endometriosis.  And they’re twice as likely to die from uterine cancer than white women.  Dr. Kemi Doll considers these disparities part of the evidence for a broader health crisis in gynecological care for Black women. Why hasn’t the medical community done more to address these problems? And how can patients and practitioners navigate a system that consistently overlooks Black women?  Doll's new book, "A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing,” works to answer those questions.  Guest: Dr. Kemi Doll, a professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington and the author of "A Terrible Strength."

    The Seattle Torrent's first season? It really was about the friends we made along the way.

    Sports superfans may seem to have been born bleeding their teams’ colors, but really, they’re created.  It happens around formative events: a buzzer-beating come-from-behind win, a once-in-a-generation athlete or a championship season.  This year probably saw a few Seattle uberfans get converted during the Seahawks’ dominating Superbowl performance.  Tonight, some more sports fanatics may be formed. Game 4 of the Professional Women’s Hockey League finals begins in a few hours, and new champions could be crowned.  Sadly, Seattle’s PWHL team, the Torrent, is not among those vying for the title. But the team still managed to capture its own share of superfans during their inaugural season. One of those is our producer Jason Burrows. If you’ve noticed that we mentioned the Torrent a lot this year, it’s because of him.  We decided to let him have one more go, talking about his new favorite team. We were more than a little surprised to learn how far he has fallen.  RELATED LINKS:  Seattle Torrent | Home | PWHL Season Ticket Memberships | Seattle Torrent Seattle Torrent • Instagram Gloves Off Seattle | Instagram 365 HOCKEY GIRL | Instagram Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    A Tacoma author grapples with Japanese American incarceration and her father's death

    Tacoma author Tamiko Nimura's father died when she was just 10 years old.  Among the things he left behind was an unpublished manuscript about his family’s incarceration at the Tule Lake camp for Japanese Americans.  Nimura ultimately made a pilgrimage to Tule Lake in 2014, to see where her father was forced to spend part of his childhood. She used her father's manuscript and her own experience to write a new book called “A Place for What We Lose: A Daughter’s Return to Tule Lake,” which is out now. GuestTamiko Nimura, author, “A Place for What We Lose: A Daughter’s Return to Tule Lake”Related LinksExploring Tamiko Nimura’s New Book “A Place For What We Lose” - DenshoNimura's event in Seattle on June 6th Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    A loophole that can allow problem teachers back in class

    In April 2024, the Everett School District launched a third-party investigation into a teacher at Henry M. Jackson High School over allegations of an inappropriate physical relationship with a student.  Later that year, the teacher resigned. Not long after, he voluntarily gave up his K-12 teaching license. That decision stopped further investigation and the gears of oversight meant to provide transparency about problem teachers. And the teacher soon got a faculty job at a nearby community college. Guests Moe Clark, investigative reporter for InvestigateWest Eliza Aronson, investigative reporter for The Daily Herald in Everett Related links InvestigateWest: An Everett teacher resigned over a relationship with a student. Shoreline Community College hired him months later. Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    As the World Cup arrives in Seattle, so do the contradictions

    From high ticket prices to questions about how the games are used by authoritarian leaders to bolster nationalism, the World Cup coming to town raises questions about the organization running the event. FIFA has also been dogged by scandal over host country selection and TV marketing rights.  But, it's the World Cup – probably the biggest sporting event of all – and one that is so fun to watch.  So how do we relate to a game that is both beautiful and run by an entity as complicated as FIFA?

    A live Q&A with SPS Superintendent Ben Shuldiner

    Ben Shuldiner just hit 100 days in his role as the superintendent of Seattle Public Schools.... and he’s had to tackle some pretty big issues in that short window.   Like a budget deficit, which could be as much as $100 million. And student safety, after two Rainier Beach High School students were shot and killed at a bus stop in January.  And screen time in the classrooms (Shuldiner recently implemented a new cell phone policy limiting student screen time during the school day) Shuldiner sat down for a live interview to answer a whole bunch of questions from us here on Soundside and from our listeners.
