Stephen Bishop used to be a youth probation officer. He wanted to help young people navigate out of a juvenile justice system that he knew was flawed. Now, as the Associate Director for Probation and System Transformation at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Steve works to transform youth probation systems around the country – from one that punishes making mistakes in ways that leave young people worse off and neighborhoods less safe to one that holds kids accountable for their actions by steering them toward the guidance and support that can help them grow into responsible adults. In this eye-opening conversation with host Maya Rupert, Steve talks about how we can create a more just and restorative system that’s steeped in relationships, trust, and community.

Joan Didion and Eve Babitz—the cool girls of Los Angeles in the 1970s—were authors, writers, journalists, and artists who ultimately became cultural icons. Shortly after Babitz’s death, journalist Lili Anolik gained access to a treasure trove: boxes of personal papers and letters discovered amid the clutter of Babitz’s decrepit apartment. Many of these were unsent letters addressed to Didion. Using this correspondence as a starting point, Anolik’s book delves into the complex relationship between the two women.
