Crystal Bui, who Rhode Islanders may remember as a report from Channel 10 News, joins us for a powerful episode. Crystal was a reporter in Minneapolis, Minnesota, covering the George Floyd murder and the civil unrest that followed. Crystal has just released a memoir, More to Tell. She tells the story of George Floyd's murder, as well as facing sexism and racism while covering the story. In this episode, we talk about Crystal's experience in a toxic work environment, the George Floyd murder, and literally getting caught in the crossfire between police and protestors. We also talk about racism, and sexual harassment. Although we get into some deep, difficult topics, we also manage to have a lot of fun and laughs. And of course we talk about Crystal's amazing book.

All generations are welcome here because we're cool like that. There will be discussions throughout the month, and a Zoom meeting at the end of the month, which may be aired on the Return to the '80s podcast.
