SF State Associate Professor of Journalism Venise Wagner loves ice skating. When she's not writing books like Love in the Time of Pinochet and Reporting Inequality: Tools and Methods for Covering Race and Ethnicity, teaching journalism to a new generation, or spending time with her friends, family, and her dog, Cici, Venise likes to relieve all the pressures of life at the rink.

In this episode, Venise shares the story of one trip to the ice rink that went a little sideways. After her accident, many things came into perspective for her.

We recorded this podcast at Saul's in Berkeley in April 2018.
