Our latest show launches today. [View this email in your browser]( Hello. Sarah Koenig here. I’m back again with more big news: [Nice White Parents]( our latest show, launches today. Chana Joffe-Walt is the reporter and host of Nice White Parents. If you listen to This American Life, you might recognize her name. For years, Chana’s done some of the most creative and beautiful work that’s ever aired on This American Life. [Five Women](. Have you heard Five Women? Or [LaDonna]( These stories wreck you, make you think differently about things you thought you already knew. That’s maybe especially true of Chana’s education reporting. The [two-parter she did with Nikole Hannah-Jones]( her story about [school discipline]( about [school inequality](. Which brings me to Nice White Parents. Chana started reporting this story in 2015. She wanted to find out what would happen inside this one public school in her neighborhood during a sudden influx of white students — into a school that’d barely had any white students before. And then, not satisfied that she fully understood what she was seeing (because that’s the Chana way) she went all the way back to the founding of the school, in the 1960s, and then forward again, up to the present day. What Chana uncovered, inside the story of this one school building, is the unspoken force that defines public education in America, and that’s been staring us in the face all along. I’ve been waiting a long time to tell people about how great this show is — about how much it taught me, how much it challenged me. Now I can finally say it: [Go listen to Nice White Parents!]( The first two episodes are out now. [You can find them here]( or wherever you get your podcasts.
