As we prepare for what's coming in the new year, we’re releasing a Best of 2025 series—by no means objective, and making plenty of tough decisions to leave a few favorites out. Each of these will also be posted in the public feed. We’ll be back next Monday, January 12th, with new episodes in the patron feed.

This episode was originally released May 19th 2025 for Death Panel patrons and is being unlocked today for the first time. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod

Original description: Beatrice and Tracy speak with Brian Goldstone about how we intentionally undercount the homeless in America, and what life looks like for those that don’t make the official count; the myths of homelessness and personal responsibility that draw attention away from the demise of public housing and rise of neoliberalism; and Brian’s new book There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.
