An Arm and a Leg

Can racism make you sick?


Listen Later

Something different: We talk with journalist Cara Anthony about topics that don’t always come up in conversations about the cost of health care. 


For the last four years, she’s been reporting on the public health effects of racism, violence, and intergenerational trauma in a small Missouri town.. The result: A new documentary and podcast series called Silence in Sikeston.   


She sat down with us to talk about the value of breaking silences and the possibility for healing. 


Here’s a transcript of this episode
