This episode of TalkPoverty Radio is all about people fighting for their fair share of the “American Dream.” We’re talking with Hannah Groch-Begley of Media Matters for America about the new CBS show “The Briefcase” and whether it’s the latest example of “poverty porn.” Jared Bernstein, former chief economist to Vice President Biden and senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, joins to discuss his new book, The Reconnection Agenda, on getting back to full employment and how to ensure economic growth is widely shared. Slate’s Jamelle Bouie discusses his recent articles on race and housing, and why integration is so hard. And Linda Tirado, author of Hand to Mouth, returns to talk about her recent TalkPoverty column on what a real anti-poverty movement looks like.
