    The Andrew Center for Restorative Justice at Marquette organized restorative justice circles for incarcerated men at Racine Correctional Institute. We learn more about how restorative justice works in this and other settings in Wisconsin.

  • Why is my grocery bill so high?

    A new report finds that households in the United States are now paying 25 percent more for groceries than they did before the pandemic. We talk to an economic policy researcher about what’s behind those high grocery bills, how corporate profits have continued to drive inflation, and what policymakers can do about it.

  • The value of workplace loyalty

    Some workers don’t feel like their employer is very loyal to them, and plenty of managers don’t think their employees are loyal to their job. We’ll talk to a writer who talked to both sides about how to mend loyalty in the workplace.
