Addressing Mental Health Across Cultures
For children of immigrants who are straddling two worlds, mental health can be a unique struggle.
According to a 2020 study, children of immigrants had nearly double the rate of psychological distress than their immigrant parents. And this population is only growing, with one in four children in the U.S. currently being a child of immigrants.
Therapy is bound by many Western ideas and rooted in whiteness. How to deal with the expectations, guilt, and dialogues of the bicultural experience can be a difficult road. That's where Sahaj Kaur Kohli comes in. She's the creator of Brown Girl Therapy, an online mental health space for children of immigrants and those in BIPOC communities.
We discuss her experiences and what guidance and tools she gives to those navigating their bicultural identity.

Looking Back On 20 Years Of Same-Sex Marriage
In 2004 Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage after the state's Supreme Court found that their Constitution could no longer exclude same-sex couples from civil marriage rights.
That watershed decision from Goodridge vs. Department of Health paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights across the country, which eventually saw same-sex marriage federally legalized in 2015. Since then, more than 700,000 same-sex couples have married across the country.
But what prompted the fight for same-sex marriage in the first place? And where does the fight for equal rights under the law stand today?

The Political Power Of Theater
Between 1935 and 1939, thirty million Americans had the chance to see a play thanks to Federal Theater Project. Nearly a century later, the theater's place in American life is shrinking.
Today, we look back on this one-of-kind federal project that believed in the power of theater, and we look forward to the role theater might play in upholding democracy even as the arts in America are being undermined.

Ask A Stunt Actor
Action and adventure films are big business. Last year, they accounted for more than half of box office earnings.
And what's a great action flick without some bad-ass stunts stunts. The car chases, the fight scenes, and epic super-hero showdowns are all thanks to Hollywood's most daring: stunt performers.
For the latest in our "Ask A" Series, we're talking to the professionals behind the danger and excitement on set.

Customer Reviews
Thoughtful and well presented
Interesting topics, well presented. It is US-based, so most of the topics deal with issues of interest to Americans, but the presentation is thoughtful enough that even the very US-oriented segments, like around elections, are worth listening to.
Thoroughly enjoyable
New management
Y'all, I used to be able to rely on this being quality, and this is absolutely no shade to the hosts. Multiple times now I've encountered basic errors in finished episodes(fri 4/12/24 weekly round up), either ending literally mid sentence or mis-posting an entire episode as an episode that released next to it ("If You Can Keep It" released on 3/18/24) which has never been fixed. Just a missing episode in the void I suppose. This feels more than anything like some kind of mismanagement on top of some of the new ads being very odd for what I'd expect.
please keep an eye on what's important about broadcasting a show of quality
Biased.
There is only one view on every issue: progressive democrat. The interviewees are offensive. Shame on you, NPR.
