Episode Synopsis


There’s no “one size fits all” solution for homelessness, but one big idea being tested is literally giving unrestricted money to those struggling. We ask how the Denver Basic Income Project is working out and hear from a man who says it's transformed his life. Then, 25 years ago... a young college student named Matthew Shepard was brutally attacked and left for dead -- all because he was gay. His parents reflect on his legacy and their ongoing work toward acceptance.
