We continue our series about the stories that have mattered to VPR Staff today, with contributions from Mitch Wertlieb and Mary Williams, your morning companions on VPR News.
Mitch: On a recent Story Corps, I heard about a gang of bikers who respond to child abuse reports and send a pretty clear message that the kids are not to be messed with or the perpetrators will be visited again. It was a very different type of Story Corps, but very moving and really a great example of what Story Corps does.
Mary: A June interview with author Lionel Shriver on Q with JianGomeshi prompted me to go out and buy the book.
