  1. Standing up for Banned Books

    EPISODIO 1

    Standing up for Banned Books

    In March, the American Library Association (ALA) announced 4,240 unique book titles were requested to be banned from schools and libraries last year. The latest number of attempted book bans sets a new record, by a 65-percent increase over 2022’s previous highpoint (since the ALA has been tracking book censorship statistics). Nearly half of the books targeted are written by or about people of color and/or on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. Adult ISH hosts Nyge Turner and Dominique “Dom” French kick off season 11 by speaking to Traci Thomas, host of “The Stacks” podcast, and Scott Stuart, author of “My Shadow is Purple,” about how removing access to books can cause harm.

    Hearing the Unhoused: How to Really Help Homeless Youth

    About 4.2 million people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience some form of homelessness each year in the United States, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty. Adult ISH host Nyge Turner connects with Emi Nietfeld, who wrote “Acceptance,” about her experience navigating being unhoused while studying at Harvard University. Emi shares resources that can help young people manage housing insecurity and explains why youth homelessness is less about personal responsibility and more about a preventable systemic problem.  Adult ISH is produced by YR Media and brought to you by PRX’s Radiotopia.

  4. Music Moving Culture

    EPISODIO 4

    Music Moving Culture

    Songs like “Imagine” by John Lennon, “Fight The Power” by Public Enemy, and “Alright” by Kendrick Lamar have all become anthems that inspired people to stay in the fight for what they believed in. They were also a direct reflection of the cultures of their eras. Music continues to impact the world, and those behind the music are driving that change.  Adult ISH host Nyge Turner connects with two music festival founders. Modi O, who started Trillectro. And, Carmena Woodward, also known as DJ Red Corvette, an entrepreneur who co-founded Women Sound Off. We also catch up with YR Media alum and music producer Jason Valerio a.k.a. Trackademicks. All three award-winning creators help us explore how they use music as a tool to build community & impact society.  Adult ISH is produced by YR Media and brought to you by PRX’s Radiotopia.

    FEED DROP: MindShift - The negative impacts on Black, all students since Brown v. Board of Education desegregated schools 70 years ago

    Brown v. Board of Education ended school segregation 70 years ago this month. How has education changed for Black students since? Adult ISH is featuring a special episode of MindShift, a podcast from KQED that “explores the future of learning.”  In a conversation that points out an often-ignored downside to desegregation in education, MindShift host and YR Media alum Nimah Gobir chats with Bettina Love, author of “Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal,” and co-founder of the Abolitionist Teaching Network. The conversation explores how the Supreme Court ruling on Brown drastically reduced the number of Black teachers working, the impact of Ronald Reagan’s school crime policies on Black students, and how reparations can be used to repair some of the harm done to Black children in the education system.  Adult ISH is produced by YR Media and brought to you by PRX’s Radiotopia.

    Standing Up For Drag

    Season 11 of Adult ISH is coming to a close, and we wanted to observe Pride Month by revisiting an all-time favorite episode that centers around the LGBTQ+ community and how you choose to express yourself.  When we produced our “Drag Me” episode last June, there were more than 270 anti-LGBTQ+ bills being considered by state legislatures. 2023 ended with state lawmakers considering a total of 510 anti-LGBTQ+ bills. While more than 200 were defeated, 84 laws passed. And so far this year, 500-plus anti-LGBTQ+ bills have already been put forward.  Adult ISH hosts Nyge Turner and Dominique “Dom” French are joined by former producer Georgia Wright as they talk with Bay Area drag queens Panda Dulce and Poison Oakland about their unique journeys into the joyful world of drag and how performers are fighting back against those trying to silence them.
