Doing Better by Victims of Intimate Partner Violence

KPCC’s Julia Paskin shares the takeaways of reporting on the intersection of intimate partner violence and homelessness. She highlights the ways an abusive relationship can leave a victim becoming unsheltered and what could be done to better support survivors forced to choose between risking death and homelessness. 

Saying Goodbye to A Martinez

Past Take Two guests and KPCC producers and reporters share stories and memories with A Martinez, who leaves Take Two today to be the newest co-host of NPR's Morning Edition. Thanks for nine great years, A!
