Did gun violence activist Jose Quezada, aka Coach, die in vain?
It hardly feels remarkable any more to talk about gun violence. It’s been the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. since 2020. According to the Gun Violence Archive, 2023 has seen nearly 37,000 deaths from gun violence. According to the Washington Post, there have been 35 mass killings so far this year. In a world with more guns than people, a lot of lives can end up in the shadows. That’s why we have people like Jose Quezada, aka Coach. USA TODAY National Columnist Suzette Hackney has been writing about Coach, a gun violence activist and others, and joins The Excerpt to share her reporting in this moving conversation.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SPECIAL | Is college still worth it? What to consider to make the most of higher education.
The skyrocketing cost of college leaves many students with crushing debt that can take years, if not decades, to pay off. And while having a degree can open some doors, the burden of paying off student loans can end up closing others, like buying a house or having children. Unlike 20 years ago, many employers today, including high-profile ones like Apple, Google and Ernst & Young, have eliminated the degree requirement for many jobs, leading prospective students to wonder, is college really worth it? In his new book “The Career Arts: Making the most of College, Credentials and Connections” author Ben Wildavsky argues that the answer is most assuredly yes.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Many Americans don't have access to safe drinking water. How do we fix that?
Many of us take access to clean water for granted, but for millions of Americans, the water coming out of their taps simply isn’t safe to drink. While recent water crises in Jackson, Mississippi; Flint, Michigan; and New Orleans, Louisiana have made national headlines, implementing solutions has been a challenge. The water equity issue is also a social justice one with low-income, Black and Brown communities experiencing the highest water insecurity. Why hasn’t one of the world’s richest countries been able to fix the problem? Shannon Marquez, the Dean of Global Engagement and Professor of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene at Columbia University, talks about costs and obstacles to addressing our country's water infrastructure failures.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Climate change is making oceans hotter, causing many species to flee to colder, deeper waters. And that’s upending our fishing industries on both coasts. Reckoning with this new reality will stretch and stress the U.S. government, the nearly 40 thousand commercial fishermen and the millions of Americans who depend upon seafood as a vital source of protein. USA TODAY has partnered with the Pulitzer Center to document the impact of warmer oceans, heavier rains and shifting deep-sea currents that are affecting fishing in all four corners of the nation: Maine, Florida, Southern California and Alaska.

Roughly 50 years after the creation of forensic rape kits, why is it still so difficult for victims to find the right care and justice?

Should the Sackler family face accountability for the opioid crisis?
The opioid crisis has resulted in over 600,000 needless deaths. Who is to blame? Many say the Sackler family, who took in billions in profits from drug sales through their company Perdue Pharma. The Supreme Court is now weighing in on that. In August, SCOTUS blocked a $6 billion opioid settlement that would have shielded the Sackler family from civil claims. The court will take up the case and hear arguments this December. USA TODAY Supreme Court Reporter John Fritze joins the 5 Things podcast to discuss the implications for both drug makers and victims.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

That's over 10 times the number of workers who struck in 2021. Why are workers so fed up and could this be the start of a new national movement to strengthen unions?

The COVID pandemic turned the traditional American in-office work model on its head as non-essential workers hunkered down en masse and worked from home.
