When Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Darrin Bell was young, he asked his mother for a realistic looking water gun. When she explained to him why, as a young Black boy, it was dangerous for him to have one, it was the first time Bell's eyes were opened to the racism he would face for the rest of his life. Bell chronicles this moment, and other moments of prejudice and discrimination throughout his life, in the new graphic memoir The Talk.

Dealing with death was a part of Barbara Butcher's day job.

Butcher joins us to discuss her book, What the Dead Know.

Director Shannon Cohn joins us to discuss the documentary, which you can stream through PBS, and take calls from our listeners about their struggles with endometriosis.
