Ann Arbor has concluded a program launched in 2024 which provided a basic monthly stipend to participants with the goal of understanding how cash assistance might affect people experiencing poverty. University of Michigan researcher and assistant professor at the School of Social Work, Kristin Seefeldt, spoke with us about the results. Then, we heard about sumo in the states from Gabe Unick, head of the Grand Rapids Sumo Club. Unick will be representing the U.S. at the World Sumo Championships in Thailand this September.
