How to Talk About Death and Dying During a Pandemic (Rebroadcast)
Dr. Jessica Zitter works at Highland Hospital, a public hospital in Oakland, where she specializes in critical and palliative care medicine. She says having hard conversations about our end-of-life wishes can transform our fears about death into hope about life. We meet several people she's helped guide through the process of talking about death, including a grocery store worker in LA who got sick with COVID, an Oakland man hospitalized with serious lung disease who struggles to face his own mortality, and a son who had to watch his 92-year-old father die of COVID far away from family, alone in a hospital bed. Dr. Zitter is the author of “Extreme Measures: Finding a Better Path to the End of Life.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here's How California Is Turning Hotels Into Housing for Formerly Homeless People
California is the land of record-breaking home prices and climbing rents. But it’s also a place where on any given night, more than 150,000 people live in tents and cars, RVs and shelters. So many wild extremes. But what can we do about it? That’s the question a new KQED podcast is tackling. It’s called SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America. It explores how the pandemic has complicated housing for so many people, and looks at some possible solutions. This week on The California Report Magazine, we’ll hear the first episode, and learn about the roots of California’s homeless crisis, as well as recent efforts to house people struggling with homelessness in hotels. SOLD OUT is hosted and reported by KQED housing reporters Erin Baldassari and Molly Solomon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
