Measles infections are on the rise in Southeast Michigan. We spoke with health reporter Kristen Jordan Shamus about the new vaccine recommendations for babies under 1 year of age.
Then, Bridge Michigan reporters Eli Newman and Jordyn Hermani joined us to talk about what happens when young people in Michigan look for care during a mental health crisis and struggle to find it. They've been examining the impact of a shortage of psychiatric beds in the state.
And, writer Tamar Charney offered us a spring meditation on leaning into nature as a source of healing. After that, we revisited a conversation with poet Zilka Joseph about the community she grew up in — a unique Jewish enclave in Mumbai.
