"There Is No Place For Us" with Brian Goldstone

<p>Whoops! We skipped a month. Consider it our summer vacation. But we’ve got a big one this episode.</p><p>Here’s the deal: if there is one book you should read this year it’s Brian Goldstone’s “<strong>There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America</strong>” The book is an incredible work of journalism as it “…follows five families in Atlanta as they struggle to find stable housing while navigating low-wage work, predatory landlords, a lack of tenant protections, and a system that prioritizes profit over people&#39;s basic need for a home.” We’re honored to have Brian on the pod with us to talk about his experience writing such an emotionally taxing work. </p><p>But first: James Joyce’s love for farts. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Intro:</p><p>Olga Tokarczuk - The Empusium</p><p>Joyce Carol Oates - Fox</p><p>V.E.
