Week of August 17

Marketplace (PM)

• While a college degree is an investment that pays off, on average, for students of color and black students in particular the risk that it won’t pay off is much higher. Kai talks with Ashley Harrington, the Federal Advocacy Director and a Senior Counsel at the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL).
• Increasingly, PTO is becoming kind of a problem. Workers are taking fewer days off (Where do you go in a pandemic? Does it look bad to a vacation when your job seems tenuous?). We’re burned out, and that’s not good for us or our employers. Meanwhile, rapidly accumulating PTO is a liability on balance sheets.  Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino reports.

• August 19: Dan Ackerman has been reporting for APM’s new podcast, In Deep. He’ll speak about a biotech startup using wastewater to track COVID cases.
• August 20: The app Citizen lets people know about crimes in their neighborhood. Is it creating more divisions between us, during this time of protests? We speak with CEO Andrew Frame.

Performance Today

August 18: Performance Today will mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment with music inspired by the women’s suffrage movement – including one of the right-to-vote rallying songs (recorded in 1916) and music from the Virgil Thompson’s opera about the suffragist movement called “The Mother of Us All.” The hour will also include music by Ethel Smyth (“Sm-eye-th”), a composer who was a prominent suffragette in England.
