On today's show:

  • This year, the Lehrer Prize for Community Well-Being will honor people whose work supports transgender children and their families. Listeners call in to nominate the people and organizations making a difference in the lives of trans minors and their parents—medically, socially or in any other way.

  • Recent stories in the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post highlight how the impacts of climate change have caused homeowner insurance to skyrocket in some areas. Listeners call in to share how the changing climate has impacted their cost of living.

  • Listeners of different generations call in to share what they've changed their minds about over the years—whether political or not.

  • As we continue our centennial series, "100 Years of 100 Things", listeners call in with stories passed down through their families from any time in the last century.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
