Walter Rhein PodcastWhy We Must Quit Ignoring Poverty in AmericaHello Everyone!I’m finding that each conversation leads into the next one. In last week’s Movie Break, we started discussing the stories that aren’t represented in American literature. That made me think of Michelle Teheux’s wonderful book The Trailer Park Rules. Also, a story that I’d sent to Michelle’s Medium publication Minds Without Borders has been performing well.
