It's been a busy week in news. Australia's capital Canberra is
menaced by wildfires and has declared a state of emergency. And the
fast spread of the coronavirus has also led to racist comments and
press coverage about Asian food and Asian-American eating habits.
Sam talks about these stories with panelists Julie Cart, a reporter
for CalMatters and Andrew Ti, host of the podcast Yo, Is This
Racist? and writer for the ABC series Mixed-ish. Then sports writer
Jemele Hill of the Atlantic reflects on basketball legend Kobe
Bryant, who was killed along with his daughter and seven others in
a helicopter crash this past week. Sam asks how and when we should
acknowledge the good and bad sides of someone's life after a sudden
death.
