About this episode

The episode discusses a federal appeals court's rejection of a new ICE detention practice, a new park project in DeKalb County, and a debut novel by poet Amy Pence.

An Atlanta-based federal appeals court is the latest to reject Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s new mandatory detention practice; DeKalb County says it is building a new park project at Intrenchment Creek Park, years after a controversial land swap deal; and Atlanta-based poet Amy Pence's genre-bending debut novel explores themes of consciousness, trauma and connection through one young woman's relationship with a mysterious yellow blob.
