Off the coast of Sausalito lies one of the nation’s oldest unhoused communities. Known as “anchor-outs,” residents live aboard makeshift boats moored in the bay, carving out a precarious existence. For nearly a decade, author Joe Kloc immersed himself in their world, documenting their struggles and growing tensions with shoreline residents determined to push them out. We talk to Kloc about his new book “Lost At Sea: Poverty and Paradise Collide at the Edge of America.”

Guests:

Joe Kloc, senior editor, Harper's Magazine - author of “Lost At Sea: Poverty and Paradise Collide at the Edge of America”
