The Home Insurance Crisis: A Conversation With FloridaCalifornia and Florida sit on opposite ends of the country — and the political spectrum — but both are at the center of a growing home insurance crisis. As wildfires and hurricanes become more frequent and destructive, insurers are raising rates, dropping customers or exiting the market altogether. We team up with Florida public radio station WLRN to talk about how two climate-vulnerable states are facing the same insurance reckoning — and what our different approaches can tell us about risk, resilience and the future of homeownership.

'The Chaplain and the Doctor' Centers Empathy, Spirituality in Health CareA new documentary called “The Chaplain and the Doctor” offers an intimate glimpse into the palliative care unit of an Oakland hospital, where two women — an 80-year-old African American chaplain and a white Jewish physician — navigate the complexities of end-of-life care from profoundly different perspectives. As their paths intertwine, what begins as a professional encounter deepens into a friendship grounded in empathy, spiritual reflection and shared commitment to healing. The film will soon make its world premiere at the San Francisco International Film Festival. We're joined by the film’s subjects, chaplain Betty Clark and Dr. Jessica Zitter, who is also its director.
