"There Is No Place For Us" with Brian Goldstone
Episode 19
Saturday, 30 August, 2025
Whoops! We skipped a month. Consider it our summer vacation. But we’ve got a big one this episode.Here’s the deal: if there is one book you should read this year it’s Brian Goldstone’s “There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America” The book is an incredible work of journalism as it “…follows five families in Atlanta as they struggle to find stable housing while navigating low-wage work, predatory landlords, a lack of tenant protections, and a system that prioritizes profit over people's basic need for a home.” We’re honored to have Brian on the pod with us to talk about his experience writing such an emotionally taxing work. But first: James Joyce’s love for farts. Intro:Olga Tokarczuk - The EmpusiumJoyce Carol Oates - FoxV.E. Schwab - Bury Our Bones in the Midnight SoilS.A.
