The Response – America’s Story
Program Two: “Tell us your experience of health.”
60 minutes, Available February 18 – March 4

Over the past month, BBC and APM have gathered unique stories from Americans in response to this request. In the second episode of our series, we’ll hear from a woman who gave her partner a kidney, a Millennial who is proudly uninsured, and a young doctor who aims to upend primary care. Providers and patients from small towns to big cities submitted first-person stories of health via voice memos on their smartphones.

Produced at partner station KCUR in Kansas City, and presented by BBC’s Shaimaa Khalil, this episode offers a diverse collection of voices reflecting human realities of health, one of the major areas of focus of the Trump administration’s first 100 days.

The program will be available on ContentDepot this Saturday, February 18. It follows a 59:00 clock (1:00 billboard, 5:00 news hole, 53:00 program) and is available to broadcast through March 4.
