  • Case File #94: Indigenous Awakening
    May 4 2024
    Native American culture is gaining visibility in the American mainstream. Movies like Killers of the Flower Moon and TV shows like Reservation Dogs are winning fans and awards. Indigenous cuisine is being recognized with the highest culinary honors. But Native American culture, rich with countless practices, histories, and stories, existed before the first colonizers set foot in the Americas. They are not a monolith with 574 federally recognized tribes and many state-recognized tribes. Host Roshini Rajkumar welcomes James Beard Foundation 2024 media award nominee and Alaska Native Tlingit tribal member Kate Nelson, who shares her experience interviewing key figures in this cultural renaissance, including the Sioux Chef Sean Sherman and Seminole filmmaker Sterlin Harjo. Throughout her journalism, Kate reminds us, "There is no one Native experience."

  • Case File #93: Inner Narrative
    Apr 29 2024
    Mental illness impacts millions of Americans, but persistent stigmas can silence those who need help. After years of manic highs, depressing lows and multiple misdiagnoses, Emmy award winner and KSTP chief meteorologist Ken Barlow was diagnosed with bipolar 1 in 2007. Fearing backlash, he kept his diagnosis a secret. But sharing his story publicly five years later led to an outpouring of support and sense of belonging. Ken joins host Roshini Rajkumar for an open conversation about his journey – from diagnosis and a family history he learned about in a shocking way to becoming a mental health activist. Ken’s story reminds us how and why you are not alone. Help is only a click or phone call away. If you’re struggling with your mental health, contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness at nami.org or call 988 for support. Family members can also access support from NAMI.
