46:55

The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

This week is Reading Across America Week, a time to celebrate the power of books and the joy of reading. But for many kids growing up in bilingual households, reading can come with an extra challenge—balancing the language spoken at home with the one used at school. That’s something that hits close to home for Daniela Palacios. During the pandemic, while she and her younger brother were spending a lot more time with their family, she watched her brother struggle to understand some of their conversations in Spanish. Ultimately, she was inspired to create Para KIDS!, a media company that helps children embrace bilingualism through storytelling. Today, we sit down with Daniela to learn more about how her personal experiences shaped Para KIDS!, why bilingual storytelling matters, and what she’s learned along the way as a young entrepreneur and writer. Learn more: https://parakidsbooks.com/ Get in touch: https://parakidsbooks.com/contact-us/ Read our full story: https://epicenter-nyc.com/how-a-high-schooler-built-a-bridge-for-bilingual-kids/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

When the world feels overwhelming—whether it's due to the constant stream of bad news, policies that target marginalized communities, or the weight of everyday stress—how do we stay grounded? How do we protect our peace without disengaging? Today, we're tackling these questions with someone who’s spent his career helping people navigate racial, ethnic, and cultural stress. Dr. Ryan DeLapp is a staff psychologist and the director of the Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Healing Program, known as REACH, at the Ross Center . He’s also the author of Empower Yourself Against Racial and Cultural Stress , a book designed to help young people—and really, all of us—build resilience and find agency in the face of adversity.

Bird flu has been making headlines again, and if you’ve been wondering what’s really going on, you’re not alone. While the risk to the average person is still low, experts are keeping a close eye on the situation—especially as H5N1 spreads in mammals like cows, something we haven’t seen at this scale before. At the same time, public health communication from the federal government has shifted under the new administration, leaving some experts concerned about transparency and the availability of critical data. So, what does that mean for us? Should we be worried about our food supply? How do we separate fact from misinformation? And what simple steps can we take to stay informed and prepared? Today – I sit down with Jessica Malaty Rivera, an infectious disease epidemiologist and science communicator. Jessica has spent years making complex public health information easier to understand, and today, she’s here to help us make sense of what’s happening with bird flu, why testing matters, and how small actions—like getting a flu shot—can make a big difference.

What does it mean to truly heal? Beyond talk therapy and surface-level self-care, how do we break free from inherited patterns and reconnect with our authentic selves? These are the questions at the heart of Inner Pttrn, a collective dedicated to deep, transformative healing through embodied movement, ritual, and community support. Inner Pttrn was founded by Coreen Ruiz, a first-generation Mexican American and former corporate professional, whose own experience with burnout and chronic health issues led her to explore alternative healing practices. But what started as a personal journey evolved into a thriving community space for those looking for deep transformation. Today - I sit down with Coreen to learn more about her experience building a mission-driven business, the challenges of making healing accessible, and the power of reclaiming ancestral knowledge. https://bio.site/innerpttrn https://www.innerpttrn.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

The U.S. healthcare system is often described as one of the most advanced in the world, yet it’s also one of the most expensive and fragmented. Millions of Americans struggle with navigating insurance networks, surprise medical bills, and soaring costs. For many, accessing basic healthcare feels more like solving a puzzle than receiving care. So… why does the U.S. spend so much more on healthcare than other countries? What role do high prices, private insurance, and systemic inefficiencies play? And most importantly, what can we do to fix it? To help us unravel these questions, we’re joined by Mustafa Hussein, an Assistant Professor of Health Economics at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health. Mustafa specializes in health inequalities, public policy, and the socio-economic drivers of health outcomes. Today – he discusses how our system got here and what it’ll take to create meaningful reform. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
