POPULARITY
Witajcie w osiemdziesiątym szóstym odcinku podcastu Czytu Czytu! Zapraszamy was do rozmowy na temat, który w nas buzował już od dłuższego czasu. Trochę po nim przemykałyśmy przy okazji dyskusji o BookToku czy Wattpadzie, ale czas by doczekał się własnego odcinka. Wobec tego naszym najnowszym tematem jest literatura young adult! Spróbujemy określić, gdzie leżą jej początki, co przyczyniło się do jej niezwykłej popularności, jakie motywy przewodziły w niej przez lata, a w końcu: czy to dobrze, czy to źle, że czyta ją tak wielu dorosłych. Wiemy, że wielu z was również zaczytuje się w pozycjach z tej kategorii, więc liczymy, że odcinek wam się spodoba. A w segmencie torebkowo-recenzenckim Megu wpisuje się w temat odcinka i opowiada o „Wszyscy jesteśmy łotrami” Amandy Foody i Christine Herman (wydawnictwo Young, tłumaczenie: Janusz Maćczak), a Kasia mówi o książce, która z tej klasyfikacji gatunkowej zdecydowanie się wyłamuje i są to wspomnienia „Cieszę się, że moja mama umarła” Jennette McCurdy (wydawnictwo Prószyński, tłumaczenie: Magdalena Moltzan-Małkowska). Przy okazji przypominamy, że Megu została nominowana w kategorii Człowieka Książki w plebiscycie Lubimy Czytać. Możecie zagłosować na nią tutaj: https://lubimyczytac.pl/plebiscyt Życzymy miłego słuchania, Czytu Czytu prowadzą: Magdalena Adamus (Catus Geekus) Katarzyna Czajka-Kominiarczuk (Zwierz Popkulturalny)
Hola. Bienvenidos a nuestro último episodio of season 6. For this episode, we recap algunas de las historias we told and update you on other ones. Pero primero queremos decir, a big thank you to all of you who listen to our podcast. Gracias por su apoyo and don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter - at que pasa midwest. Ahora, empecemos con nuestro primer episodio. En este, we talked to Amy about finding adequate healthcare during the pandemic - while she was pregnant and unemployed - something many had to do en esta crisis. Amy had her baby and they're doing great. For our second episode, we heard the story about the first double-lung transplant patient - Mayra Ramirez. This story was en colaboracion con Christine Herman with Side Effects Public Media. We reached out to Christine para ver como sigue Mayra pero according to her, Mayra had been recovering from being in the ICU again, because of another infection after the surgery. En el episodio tres we talked to Kassandra. She told us the story from a student's perspective and how it was so mentally draining to study online and how the sense of community was lost among amigos that usually gathered at the multicultural center. She said she was eager to go back to in-person classes and to socialize with more of her peers. To her, this is what recovery is about. Being able to grow together and mingle sin preocupaciones. Nuestros ultimos episodios - Episode six and seven - were focused on learning more about why Latinos were not getting vaccinated. Descubrimos que, la comunidad Latina no tenía la información necesaria to make an informed decision and consent to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. En estos episodios, hablamos con las personas que hicieron de esto algo más fácil. People who not only translated the state's department of health intake form to Spanish - but who also put together a vaccine clinic at the local Holy Rosary church. Más de cien feligreses se pusieron la vacuna luego de la misa. And recently, they all had the chance to get their second vaccine. A step forward in the right direction - para que las personas se sientan más cómodas y seguras.

En este episodio Dana Cronin and Christine Herman talk to a group of farmworkers about getting the vaccine. A solo tres días de haber llegado desde Oaxaca, México Sergio Chavez recibió la vacuna. He's been coming to the United States for years to work in the farms and says this pandemic affected farmworkers greatly. He says he didn't expect the vaccine to go as smoothly as it did. Purdue University estimates that more than 480,000 agricultural workers have tested positive for COVID-19 nationwide and at least 9,000 have died from it. This figure likely underestimates the number greatly since it excludes contracted and temporary labor. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, o CDC por sus siglas en Espanol, says farmworkers are at risk because farmworkers often have close contact to one another both in the fields and indoors like shared housing, cooking and eating areas, bathrooms, and laundry facilities. The farming industry depends largely on migrant workers, according to the Department of Agriculture. The USDA says the number of worker visas, or H-2A, requested and approved has increased fivefold, from just over 48,000 positions certified in 2005 to nearly 258,000 in 2019. There are 2.4 million farmworkers in the U.S. — at least half of whom are undocumented, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and all of whom should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccines, according to the CDC. The CDC also recommends that vaccinations for farmworkers be offered near their worksites or in their communities. This story was produced by Harvest Public Media and Side Effects Public Media in collaboration with the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting. Dana and Christine are reporters with Illinois Newsroom. Follow them on Twitter:@DanaHCronin and @CTHerman.

Here’s how Quick to Listen producer Richard Clark introduced this podcast last year: I’ve been fascinated by the potential of podcasts because I see them as an opportunity for listeners to opt-in to become part of a captive, actively listening audience. Podcasts provide us with opportunities for active listening, a chance to hear multiple perspectives on a subject without the temptation to click away or draw conclusions too soon. … Quick to Listen is about giving ourselves the opportunity to hear, really hear, one another. Our hope is, at the end of each episode, we might be one step closer to the truth of these complex situations. So taking in arguments, learning from experts, and gathering broader context has been part of our master plan at Quick to Listen since its inception. Hopefully your participation in this practice goes beyond our weekly podcasts. This month, CT published a piece entitled “Why We Argue Best with Our Mouths Shut.” As author Christine Herman wrote: If it seems obvious that arguing is not an effective way to win someone over, it doesn’t stop people from trying. From Facebook to family gatherings, our disagreements regularly erupt into arguments. … If we have any hope for healing the divisions in our society, families, churches, and communities, it will serve us well to learn how to have better conversations. Herman recently joined assistant editor Morgan Lee and editor in chief Mark Galli to discuss what listening is and is not, why people feel loved when you ask them questions, and why changing your mind can be such a big deal.
