Sickle cell is a life-long debilitating condition that predominantly affects people of black African and black African Caribbean background. This podcast series explores the work the NHS is doing to improve the health outcomes and quality of life of people with sickle cell. In episode 3 patient Stephanine George and Dr Dianne Addei, a consultant in public health medicine and NHS England's lead for sickle-cell services discuss safer and compassionate care in a sickle cell crisis. They are joined by Carly Honey, Ward manager and Chelsea Soka, lead haemoglobinopathy nurse, from Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Hot on the heels of another Irish-American president elect, Joe Biden, Spice Bags delves into the complicated history of the Irish in America. Blanca has mingled with the Irish of Chicago and DC; Mei has lived in Boston, New Haven, and New York, and Dee has traveled widely in the US and contemplated immigrating herself. What’s up with corned beef? Why does Irish-American soda bread always come with sultanas?  We discuss how old Irish habits (and accents) have lingered in the US, where they have moved on in Ireland itself. We also talk about how the modern Irish identity is infiltrating that of Irish Americans today.

Traditional tools for evaluation and measurement fail to take into account the complexity of an interconnected and digitized world. Emerging techniques, such as developmental evaluation, improve on traditional linear, cause-and-effect models, while shared measurement increases the capacity of cross-sector collaboration. In this panel discussion, experts offer a case study-rich overview of three emerging tools: developmental evaluation, shared measurement, and big data. Kathy Brennan describes how developmental evaluation adopts a systems-learning approach absent from formative and summative designs, making it more favorable to evaluating complex, non-linear, and dynamic social realities. Patricia Bowie discusses the importance of shared measurement as a catalyst for collective learning. Researcher Lucy Bernholz warns that data collection offers as much peril as potential, and implores the nonprofit sector to think critically about how digital data is driving actions and whose voices it excludes. Presented in partnership with FSG, this panel discussion was part of the Next Generation Evaluation conference. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/shared_measurement_and_big_data_for_good

It's an F'ing holiday episode.  Be happy we did one. 

At Last Chance Foods, our cup runneth over with cookbooks. It’s a large cup, admittedly. And with Christmas less than a week away, these beautiful tomes come in handy as last minute gifts. Here are our picks for some of our favorite cookbooks of the year. We even snagged a few recipes from them for your cooking pleasure. The A.O.C. Cookbookby Suzanne Goin “The recipes are organized by different course — salads, fish, meat, and vegetables — and by season, so it appeals to my producerly sense of order. And while I’m not vegetarian, I like that it has a strong focus on vegetables.” —JYW Recipe: Spiced "Pumpkin" Fritters with Chocolate Sauce and Candied Pepitas    The Grilling Book: The Definitive Guide from Bon Appétitby Adam Rapoport “It made me want to buy a grill. And I haven’t done it yet. I’m going to — I got as close as buying a spatula for the grill… I love the design of this book. There’s a lot of little how-to sidebars, and Rapoport offers the pros and cons of different methods, like the case for charcoal grilling versus gas grilling… There are a lot of It’s so instructive without being condescending.” —AE Recipe: Hickory Rib-Eye Steaks with Bacon-Molasses Butter Recipe: Grilled Avocados and Chiles Japanese Soul Cooking: Ramen, Tonkatsu, Tempura, and More from the Streets and Kitchens of Tokyo and Beyond by Tadashi Ono and Harris Salat “So much of Japanese cooking tends to be very precise and pristine. But you know regular families probably aren’t eating these elaborate sushi or sashimi presentations at home every night. I feel like Japanese Soul Cooking shows a different side of that culture’s cuisine, and has chapters devoted to food like gyoza dumplings and tonkatsu, which is a panko-breaded fried pork cutlets.” —JYW Recipe: Retro Curry Recipe: Sapporo Soup Curry Recipe: Classic Tonkatsu Ivan Ramen: Love, Obsession, and Recipes From Tokyo’s Most Unlikely Noodle Jointby Ivan Orkin and Chris Ying “It’s the memoir portion of the book I enjoy. His writing is like Ivan was in our interview: Fast and sharp and bracing and irreverent. Here’s how he writes about realizing that he wanted to move back to Japan and stay there. He was living with a woman in Maine at the time. Then I had an epiphany. I looked up and said, ‘You know what? I don’t like Maine and I love Japan. I don’t know what the f*** you’re talking about, but that’s the place I want to be.’ No offense to Maine, but it took being there for me to realize how much I wanted to be somewhere else. It’s a great story, one that inspires you to throw all your self-imposed caution to the wind.” —AE Recipe: Toasted Rye Noodles   Honorable mentions: The Art of French Pastry by Jacquy Pfeiffer and Martha Rose Schulman Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook by Sharon Kramis and Julie Kramis Hearne Cherry Bombe, a new biannual magazine celebrating women and food Keepers: Two Home Cooks Share Their Tried-and-True Weeknight Recipes and the Secrets to Happiness in the Kitchen by Kathy Brennan and Caroline Campion
