Introducing the Youth Today News Podcast

The third episode of the investigative series co-produced with Crosscut focuses on one woman's experience with foster care and homelessness in WA. A few months ago, Crosscut collaborated with the nonprofit organization Youth Today to produce a three-part multimedia series on youth homelessness. Reporter Elizabeth Whitman and producer Sam Leeds investigated several pilot programs designed to support young people who’ve been involved in state systems such as foster care or juvenile justice. This week we’re dropping one of those episodes into the Crosscut Reports feed. It features Janell Braxton, a woman who is still reckoning with her experience in Washington’s foster care system. Listen here, then follow Youth Today News wherever you get your podcasts. Read more about Janell Braxton's experience in the WA foster care system here. --- Credits Host/Producer: Sam Leeds and Sara Bernard Reporter: Elizabeth Whitman Story editor: Jacob Jones and Ryan Famuliner Executive producer: Sarah Menzies --- If you would like to support Crosscut, go to crosscut.com/membership. In addition to supporting our events and our daily journalism, members receive complete access to the on-demand programming of Seattle’s PBS station, KCTS 9.
