On the Media's Poverty Tour; Race & Stress; Listening Project

Screenshot from a video on Brooke Gladstone's reporting on poverty in Ohio. She's speaking with Jack Frech, retired welfare director for Athens County.

Ohio is often talked about as a microcosm of America, with its diverse regions and resources. That microcosm also reflects some of the challenges our nation faces, like kinds of poverty and income inequality. That very reason brought On the Media's Brooke Gladstone to Ohio for their series Busted: America's Poverty Myths.

And what role does race play in stress? We examine new research about how ethnic background impacts health.
