American Compassion
The Safety Net Podcast
American Compassion is an exploration of the past, present, and future of the American social safety net.
In our most recent season, we discuss the programs and legislation President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) created to build the safety net we have today and delve into why he was so committed to civil rights, education, and economic opportunity.
In the first season, we went back to the turn of the 20th century to explore poverty and wealth, philanthropy and charity, work, health and politics, and policy.
