Jennifer Thompson is a crime survivor who, in 1984, survived a brutal attack in her home while attending college in North Carolina. The man who was convicted and imprisoned for the crime at the time was proven innocent a decade later, revealing that the actual attacker had gone free. Thompson emerged as a pioneer of restorative justice, and a symbol of courage and resilience, when, in the wake of these devastating events, she befriended the man who hadbeen wrongly convicted. She then went on to co-author with him the New York Timesbest-seller, Picking Cotton, which recounts their joint story of failed justice. Thompson has since become a beacon of strength and recovery by speaking out to the world about her traumatic and painful experiences. She has also become a leading advocate for other crime survivors and victims, and her lived experience has inspired countless policy makers, law enforcement, and justice leaders worldwide to effect key reforms to improve the accuracy and fairness of our justice system.In 2015, Thompson founded the national nonprofit organization, Healing Justice, which serves crime survivors, victims, and others through restorative justice and justice reform. Thompson is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Special Courage Award from the US Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime. She has testified on behalf of crime survivors and victims on criminal justice reforms before the United States Congress and state legislatures. She has appeared as a guest on numerous television and radio programs, including Good Morning America, the Today Show, Oprah, Dr. Phil, Rikki Lake, The View, 60 Minutes, 20/20, NBC News, Nightline, CNN Anderson Cooper, NPR, Diane Rehm, and PBS Frontline. Thompson's courageous and inspiring story has also been featured in many print outlets, such as People, RedBook, Newsweek, and The New York Times.Engaged through Keppler Speakers since 2010, Thompson has presented to hundreds of audiences around the world on issues of fairness, equity, empathy, trauma, recovery, healing, altruism, and leadership. An unwavering example of turning tremendous harm into abundant healing, Thompson inspires audiences to not just persevere but to flourish in the wake of unexpected - and even unimaginable - adversity. With endless bravery, grace, and humor, Thompson captivates all audiences with her profoundly important and timely message of optimism, generosity, and hope.Producers: Whit Missildine, Andrew Waits, Aviva Lipkowitz Content/Trigger Warnings: disordered eating, familial conflict, poverty, sexual assault including rape by a stranger, breaking & entering, victim shaming, wrongful conviction and incarceration, explicit languageThank you to our series collaborators, Why Me? & Yoana Tchoukleva: Why Me? are a national charity in the UK, promoting access to Restorative Justice for people affected by crime or conflict.

Diane wanted to share a special conversation from the archives, an interview with legendary book editor Robert Gottlieb, who died in June at age 92. Gottlieb worked with many of the best-known writers of the 20th century. On the list of names whose work he made shine was Diane Rehm. Diane remembers him as a masterful editor who was so kind to her –  someone with name recognition in the world of public radio, but no track record as a writer. Gottlieb became one of Diane's closest friends and confidantes. She says, “he was a genius,” and she was so lucky to have him by her side. Robert Gottlieb joined Diane several times as a guest on the Diane Rehm Show over the years. This is their conversation from September 2016 in which he discussed his memoir, “Avid Reader.”

Ten states and Washington D.C. currently support medical aid in dying for terminally-ill patients. Advocates and lawmakers like Public Health Committee Co-Chair and State Sen. Dr. Saud Anwar are hoping Connecticut is closer than ever to becoming the eleventh state to adopt a medical aid-in-dying law. Connecticut Public health reporter Sujata Srinivasan spoke with Sen. Anwar about the plan to include additional restrictions around age limits and physician sign-offs, that he hopes will help the bill pass the Judiciary Committee, where a similar bill stopped last session. Aid-in-dying bills have been proposed in Connecticut more than a dozen times over the last thirty years. Longtime NPR host and journalist Diane Rehm has touched on her mother's death and her late husband's battle with Parkinson's Disease, setting out to explore the issue of patient autonomy in her book, When My Time Comes: Conversations About Whether Those Who Are Dying Should Have the Right to Determine When Life Should End.

One of the most beloved NPR hosts of all time, Diane Rehm, joined the National Writers Series in February 2021 to discuss her book, When My Time Comes. The book sprang out of the interviews she conducted for her documentary film about Medical Aid in Dying of the same name. Our event was an illuminating talk that opens up a subject that no one really wants to talk about: death. As her documentary is coming out on PBS this month, we thought it was a great time to revisit this extensive conversation about the controversial topic, expertly guest hosted by Cynthia Canty. From how to have an uncomfortable conversation about end-of-life issues, to death cafes, to what states are working towards legalizing the practice, to how the last two decades have been for states where it's allowed, we cover as much as we can about this important topic. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nationalwritersseries/message

“Tone is important. Moderation is important. But I can assure you there were times when I left moderation to the side.” Beloved public radio host Diane Rehm is here. Usually she is on the other side of the microphone, asking the questions and bringing the guest to life in ways the audience has never heard. But this time she is on the receiving end, as Daniel engages her on a variety of topics— everything from her favorite interviews to memorable moments of passion in the studio. Beyond that, they discuss the role of the media. What can and should the media be doing in these unprecedented times? Where is the responsibility? Diane Rehm also has very specific taste in music— and she and Daniel have something in common, too. Diane Rehm is a native Washingtonian who began her radio career in 1973 as a volunteer for WAMU 88.5, the NPR member station in Washington, D.C. She was hired as an assistant producer and later became the host and producer of two health-oriented programs.

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we're revisiting this Seneca tale from Season 2 about the origin of stories -- co-starring NPR veteran Diane Rehm and Jonathan Joss (Parks and Recreation, Comanche Moon).

According to longtime NPR host Diane Rehm, “talking about death in the U.S. is the last taboo.” And its something she says needs to change.

Since departing the public radio air waves in 2016, Diane Rehm has been on a crusade: campaigning for terminally ill patients’ right to determine their time of death — also known as the right-to-die movement.

Diane Rehm spent almost four decades on-air interviewing iconic cultural + political figures on The Diane Rehm Show, and she represents the very sound of National Public Radio. Often described as the "diva of discussions", Diane has the unique ability to own a strong opinion on matters but also the uncommon ability to remain open to other's opinions. Naturally curious to others' perspective Diane possesses an amazing combination of steeliness + vulnerability. Today, Diane opens up about her latest book When My Time Comes + the opposing arguments for + against the right-to-die. You'll also learn about her longstanding career in radio, working through crippling anxiety early in her career, how she overcame debilitating neurological voice disorder and why she sees herself as the "luckiest person". SHOW NOTES: When Diane was 19, her 49-year-old mother died from liver disease. In her last of countless trips to the hospital, she begged to die in order to be released from the pain + suffering. Eleven months later, Diane's father died of a broken heart. "We are all going to die. It's part of the life circle. Accepting that, planning for it, talking about what it is that you want at the end of life is what I am encouraging people to do." As a Serbian Orthodox, Diane felt pressure to marry an Arab just months before her mother's death. Feeling relief + freedom after her father died, Diane got a divorce. After stumbling into radio, Diane experienced severe anxiety daily for nearly 2 years until her bosses uplifting + encouraging messages gave her the confidence. Diane has interviewed countless political and cultural figures including Fred Rogers, Bill + Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. "When each person comes into the studio, what I see is not a bigger-than-life human being but rather a human being." In 1998, Diane was diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological condition that affects the quality of her voice. Ten years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Diane's husband of 54 years John Rehm expressed his need to die. For 10 days, he stopped eating, drinking + taking his medication before passing. Right-to-die advocate: Diane encourages individuals to move past the fear of death to have conversations about end-of-life care. "Find your own passion. Be open + ready to the possibilities." "He was one of if not the greatest teachers of humankind that I've seen in my lifetime." Diane shares that her interview with Fred Rogers was her most memorable interview. Listen here. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence.

Jack has a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech and currently works as a Project Engineer for a construction company in California. In his free time, he enjoys weight training, hiking, and traveling. Episode 7: Medical Aid in Dying In this episode, Jack and Rachel discuss the book "When My Time Comes" by Diane Rehm. They explore the arguments in support and in opposition of the practice as well as the ethical issues it poses.

For three decades, Diane Rehm hosted a conversation with America. The Diane Rehm Show grew from a local show at NPR affiliate WAMU to a national juggernaut, with 2.8 million listeners every week. And even after her December 2016 retirement, Rehm has continued the conversation. She hosts a podcast; she also recently published her fourth book, “When My Time Comes.” In partnership with "St. Louis on the Air," Rehm discussed her career at a dinner hosted by the Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation at the Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. Here are the highlights from that conversation, including the secrets of her success and her reasons for becoming a passionate advocate for the “death with dignity” movement.

Death is an integral part of life—and according to the Right-To-Die movement we should have the freedom to choose to end their own life. Renowned radio host Diane Rehm made her way to Town Hall to address the urgent, hotly contested cause of the Right-to-Die movement with insight from her book When My Time Comes. In conversation with KUOW’s Ross Reynolds, Rehm draws on interviews with terminally ill patients, and with physicians, ethicists, spouses, relatives, and representatives of those who vigorously oppose the movement to give voice to a broad range of people who are personally linked to the realities of medical aid in dying. Rehm presented the fervent arguments—both for and against—that are propelling the current debates across the nation about whether to adopt laws allowing those who are dying to put an end to their suffering. Rehm and Reynolds invited us to investigate both sides of the argument, providing critical context and informed responses that aim to dispel misconceptions and misrepresentations of end-of-life care. Diane Rehm has spent nearly 40 years as radio host for WAMU and NPR. In 1979 she began hosting WAMU’s local morning talk show, Kaleidoscope, which was renamed The Diane Rehm Show in 1984. Rehm is known for her unique mix of curiosity, honesty, and intimacy in her programming.  Ross Reynolds is the Executive Producer of Community Engagement at KUOW. He creates community conversations such as the Ask A events. He is the former co-host of KUOW’s daily news magazine The Record and KUOW’s award–winning daily news–talk program The Conversation. Recorded live in The Great Hall at Town Hall Seattle on February 12, 2020. 

Is it physician-assisted suicide--or medical aid in dying? The idea of someone with a terminal diagnosis enlisting the help of a doctor to end their life comforts some, outrages others. Dr. Janet Conway, an orthopedic surgeon, contends the bill before the General Assembly is hostile to what caring doctors should do. You can read her Baltimore Sun op-ed here. Dr. Conway is a member of Maryland Against Physician Suicide. From radio interviewer Diane Rehm, the opposite view. In her new book, "When My Time Comes," she argues such laws let people plan for a good death, if they’ve talked it through with their family. A companion documentary is expected in 2021.

In When My Time Comes, renowned radio host Diane Rehm examines the right-to-die movement from human, medical, legal, and ethical perspectives, and explores the arguments both for and against the issue. In conversation with Kojo Nnamdi, the host of “The Kojo Nnamdi Show” and “The Politics Hour” on WAMU 88.5. This program was held in partnership with Politics and Prose on February 3, 2020.

Nearly a half-century after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of billionaire entrepreneurs, jocularly referred to as the “Space Barons,” are pouring their fortunes into the resurrection of the American space program. Washington Post staff writer Christian Davenport brought to our stage the remarkable accounts of risk and high adventure by these four billionaires—Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Paul Allen—sharing excerpts collected in his book The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos. Drawing on years of investigation and exclusive interviews with all four of the “Barons,” Davenport brought us a report on the birth of a new Space Age, fueled by some of the world’s richest men as they struggle to end the governmental monopoly on the cosmos. Davenport was joined for an onstage conversation with award-winning science writer and editor Alan Boyle. Davenport and Boyle discussed the Silicon Valley-style innovation at work to dramatically lower the cost of space travel, and the potential for these programs to send humans even further than NASA has ever achieved. Together they outlined the hardships facing this new space movement: startups warring with established contractors and the entrepreneurs’ personal clashes which threaten to scuttle their private projects before they come to fruition. Join Davenport and Boyle for a comprehensive look at the spacefaring projects funded by the founders of some of the biggest brands in the world, and the potential for these industry-upending titans to aim for the moon, Mars, and beyond. Christian Davenport is a staff writer at the Washington Post covering the space and defense industries for the financial desk. He is a recipient of the Peabody award for his work on veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury and has been on reporting teams that were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize three times. Before joining the financial staff, Davenport was an editor on the Metro desk, overseeing coverage of local government and politics. As a frequent radio and television commentator, he has appeared on MSNBC, CNN, PBS NewsHour, and several NPR shows, including All Things Considered and Diane Rehm. Alan Boyle is an aerospace and science editor at Geekwire.com, creator of Cosmiclog.com, and award-winning science writer and space reporter. Formerly the science editor of NBCNews.com, MSNBC, and MSNBC.com, he is the author of The Case for Pluto: How a Little Planet Made a Big Difference. Recorded live at Museum of Flight on Wednesday, April 25, 2018.

This week on StoryWeb: Lee Smith’s memoir, Dimestore: A Writer’s Life. I first fell in love with Lee Smith’s fiction nearly thirty years ago when I was a cook at Le Conte Lodge in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. On my afternoons off, I’d sit on my cabin porch, reading first Lee’s novel Oral History, later her novel Fair and Tender Ladies. She created characters with such powerful voices – women and men of Appalachia who spin yarns through story and song. Granny Younger’s voice and Ivy Rowe’s letters have stayed with me all these years. The more I followed Lee’s career, the more I was drawn in. So it was an honor years later to edit a collection of previously published interviews with her. Gathering these interviews in Conversations with Lee Smith was like sitting on the porch drinking sweet tea and hanging out with a long-lost but beloved cousin. Last year when Lee published her newest book, Dimestore: A Writer’s Life, I was more than delighted. In the interviews I had collected, Lee had told bits and pieces of her story – but now came Dimestore, a collection of personal essays, roughly arranged in chronological order. Taken together, they read like a memoir. The reader who picks up Dimestore will learn about growing up as an only child in Grundy, Virginia, her parents, Gig and Ernest, her time spent in her father’s Ben Franklin dimestore, her parents’ struggles with mental illness, and Lee’s resilient coping strategies. As the book goes on, the reader learns also about her son Josh and his diagnosis of schizophrenia at age eighteen. Along the way, the reader sees how Lee’s love of storytelling and passion for writing literally saved her life.     One essay in the book stands out for me above all the others. “A Life in Books” began as the keynote address at the 2007 meeting of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP). I was fortunate enough to meet my best friends, Amy Young and Jennifer Soule, in Atlanta for the conference. And of course, they were right there with me in the front row for Lee’s speech. By this time, Lee and I had long since met and become friends, and we had talked about the mental illness that ran through both of our families over many generations. And I knew that her son Josh had recently died of complications of his schizophrenia. I had sent a card and made a donation to the group home where he lived. But little did I expect that Lee would talk openly that night about the heartbreaking loss of Josh and about the role her writing played in helping her to recover her own life. I wasn’t the only one who was deeply moved by Lee’s honest account that evening. Indeed, there were no dry eyes in the auditorium as the audience leapt to its feet in a long-standing ovation. I’m so glad to see Dimestore published. In addition to “A Life in Books,” which appears near the end of the book, I highly recommend the entire volume. The author of thirteen novels and four short story collections, Lee Smith leaves her fictional worlds behind and lets us see behind the curtains into her own life. To learn more about Dimestore, read the Huffington Post’s interview with Lee Smith and Publisher’s Weekly interview with her, then listen to Diane Rehm’s interview with her as well as Frank Stasio’s North Carolina Public Radio conversation with her about the book. You’ll also delight in visiting Lee’s website. You can read excerpts from the book: “Raised to Leave: Some Thoughts on ‘Culture’” and “Finding My Way Home.” When you’re hooked (and I know you will be!), get your hands on a hard copy of Dimestore. Visit thestoryweb.com/dimestore for links to all these resources and to listen to Lee Smith give her 2007 speech titled “A Life in Books,” published as an essay near the end of Dimestore.

In episode 5 of “Post-Modern Living with Chris The Brain,” Chris and Kait talk about podcasts with guest host Paul. They discuss why podcasts are great, the shows they love, and where you should listen. Podcasts are becoming very personal for people; in the last 2 years or so, it went from people thinking you made up a word to people having favorite podcast production companies. They started as a subversive media where you could easily talk about anything, and are a great way to hear about people having experiences like yours, and get perspectives you wouldn’t usually hear in the news. They’re also perfect for workaholics and being productive, because you can listen while you’re doing other things. The hosts discuss some of the best ways to find podcasts, including referrals from other podcasts, favorite podcast networks like Radiotopia or Gimlet Media, hearing people talking about a show, and searching for what you’re interested in. Chances are, if you want to hear more about something, someone is podcasting about it. Businesses are starting to get on board with podcasting, too, and most of the results of that suck. Constantly promoting and talking about your business on a podcast is exhausting, and if your business is podcasting just because you’ve heard podcasts are a thing, you shouldn’t be doing it. If you’re intimidated by all this information, Chris and guest host Paul suggest some of their favorites to get you started. The Podcasts Chris Thinks Everyone Should Start With: Up First - a short news podcast by NPR that gives you all the major news for the day in 15 minutes TED Radio Hour - a staple; you owe it to society/yourself/the world to expose yourself to new ideas Ask Me Another - a podcast that will help you enjoy listening to podcasts; it’s just fun The Moth - a podcast that shows the power of podcasting The Intelligence Squared Debates - Chris’s guilty pleasure podcast; where two intelligent people on a controversial subject have a civil formal debate The Podcasts Paul Thinks Everyone Should Start With: Reply All - a show about the internet The Way I Heard It - Mike Rowe’s 5-minute Paul-Harvey-style “now you know the rest of the story” podcast Hardcore History - Dan Carlin’s podcast, where he goes in depth on a historical situation for 5 hours and you’re hooked the entire time The episode winds down with a discussion of where you should listen to podcasts. If you’re tired of iTunes and Google Play not having the features you want when listening to podcasts, try one of Chris and Paul’s favorite players. Chris’s Favorite Podcast Players: Pocket Casts, which allows you to sync your library and play history across all of your devices and automatically add episodes to your up next playlist, and has an easy to use interface NPR One, which is great if you don’t want to research what to listen to; it’s free and learns what you like when you rate shows Paul’s Favorite Podcast Player: Overcast, which is very similar to Pocket Casts but it’s free Every Podcast Mentioned in this Episode: The Moth Radio Hour, live true stories told on stage with no notes The Mortified Podcast, people getting up on stage to share things that they wrote as teenagers 99% Invisible, a podcast by the owner of Radiotopia, Roman Mars TED Radio Hour, a podcast that goes more in depth on a subject than TED Talks do, with multiple experts and behind the scenes discussions Ask Me Another, a game show podcast from NPR Diane Rehm’s podcast, which brings people from all sides of the debate and is always civil and reasonable Katie Couric’s podcast Code Switch, a podcast that discusses world events from the perspective of the people they actually affect, with a lot of talk about bias and privilege Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me!, a classic radio game show Tell Me Something I Don’t Know, the game show for know-it-alls who can’t help bringing up random facts Serial, a true crime podcast that’s the only podcast Kait has listened to consistently, a game changer for podcasts Adam Ruins Everything, a podcast that’s great if you like TED Talks Radiolab, a podcast that’s very much like TED Talks More Perfect, a new podcast by Radiolab about real Supreme Court cases and their impact on the world 1A, a good fill-in podcast for Diane Rehm, stands for 1st Amendment The NPR Politics Podcast Here and Now, a podcast with good in-depth news stories Lovett or Leave It, Chris’s current favorite podcast, it’s like if politics were a game show and a therapy session at the same time NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour, a podcast that talks about all the new TV shows and movies so you know which ones are worth your time A Way with Words, a call-in show about where words come from S Town, another story-based podcast by the makers of Serial; it’s a true story about people in a crappy little town This American Life, a podcast that shares three related stories each episode Open for Business, a podcast created by Gimlet Media and eBay focused on stories of people starting businesses The JoyPowered Workspace Podcast, a good example of a podcast for business, where two delightful ladies who work in HR try to make human resources more human, less resource (they interviewed Chris for an episode) Up First The Intelligence Squared Debates Reply All The Way I Heard It Hardcore History Marketplace Shout Outs To: Apprenace, a company creating meaningful internship programs that help businesses and careers grow.

Martin Walker, a noted journalist and author, says that nothing is going to move quickly in the United Kingdom after the recent Brexit vote to leave the European Union. He does not think that any official action will take place until at least September when a new Prime Minister is sworn into office. Walker also reminded Americans that the British popular vote is “not necessarily binding.” Parliament will actually have to vote to withdraw from the EU following the referendum. He says many are hoping that “cooler heads will prevail” and that Parliament will not take action to leave. He also noted that, to date, 4 million signatures have been submitted to Parliament asking for a new referendum on the issue. Parliament is required to debate the issue of a second vote. Walker says he agrees with President Barack Obama’s recent comments that we should just hit the “pause key” on the current hysteria surrounding the withdrawal vote. Walker is a veteran journalist who spent some 28 years with The GUARDIAN, a British newspaper, in various reporting and editing capacities – including being US Bureau Chief. He also appeared for many years on the Diane Rehm weekly News Round-Up on NPR. In addition, Walker authors murder mystery novels set in his current home region of France. While on a book tour of the United States, Martin talked with WOUB’s Tom Hodson about Brexit and its domestic and global ramifications.

Named a notable nonfiction book of 2004 by The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, Freethinkers was cited in England as one of the outstanding international books of 2004 by the Times Literary Supplement and The Guardian. Since the publication of Freethinkers, Susan Jacoby has been interviewed on NOW with Bill Moyers, The O'Reilly Factor, and the Dennis Miller Show. She has been a guest on numerous National Public Radio programs, including the Diane Rehm and Tavis Smiley shows, as well as regional NPR programs broadcast from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Boston, Philadelphia, and Madison, WIS. In this passionate and insightful interview, she discusses America's freethought heritage and the Dover intelligent design ruling. Also in this episode, Tom Flynn presents a new segment called simply, Did You Know? detailing punchy facts about Campus Crusade for Christ, Jimmy Carter and UFO's, and the growth of superstition on American campuses; contributer Lauren Becker shares her personal reflections on her experiences working at a national park in the Bible belt. Also, Ben Radford, in his regular segment, Media Mythmakers, casts a critical eye on President Bush and his war on terror and Paul Kurtz examines the secular humanist pursuit of excellence.

Laura talks with legendary women's college basketball coach Elaine Elliott, whose commitment to her partner endures long after the romance is over. Then, Norm and Jeanne share the story of how they've built a solid partnership without mentioning the "C" word. Finally, Laura sits down with public radio icon Diane Rehm, who puts her own modern spin on a traditional choice.
