Part One: Life after prison. We speak with Dr. Stanley Andrisse. He’s the Executive Director of the From Prison Cells to PhD program, which helps people who have criminal convictions obtain a college education. Education is the best defense against recidivism. It’s better for everyone – our communities, our workforce, and ultimately the whole country.

Dr. Andrisse is also a medical professor, at Howard University, and an adjunct at Johns Hopkins.

Part Two: Our weekly visit to the doctor – Dr. Politics, aka Steffen Schmidt of Iowa State U. Topics include:
Trump’s comments about 9/11, hurricanes, the importance of grassroots organizing in state/local elections, Trumka, environmentalists, the deficit, voters, and more. Always more!
