A new film tells the story of Claressa "T-Rex" Shields, a boxer from Flint, Michigan who became the first woman in United States history to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport. Actor Ryan Destiny, who plays Shields, joins us alongside director Rachel Morrison to talk about bringing this story to life on-screen. "The Fire Inside" is in theaters now.

The new PBS Independent Lens documentary, "Minted," examines the NFT market craze, from its meteoric rise to its dramatic fall and its possible future in another Trump administration. We're joined by the film's director, Nicholas Bruckman and a featured artist in the film, Kina Matahari.

New year, new books! Producer Jordan Lauf discusses some of her most anticipated new reads this winter. Plus, we take your book recommendations.
