Live call-in discussion: Twenty-one people, including 19 children, are dead after a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. This comes less than two weeks after a gunman killed 10 Black people in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. And today, May 25, 2022, is the two-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder.
It's all a lot, all at once. We want to hear how you're doing.
Our guests are:
- Dr. John Koutras, a general adult and child psychiatrist and clinical assistant professor at UVM's Larner College of Medicine
- Jane Lindholm, host of But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids, a show that has helped have difficult conversations with kids about violence
