Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help. Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (01:10) Vicki’s origin story (02:40) What is “unhoused youth?” (06:40) What should a person do if they worry they see an unhoused youth?

1:35:33Bedbugs mate by a process called "Traumatic Insemination". Look it up. Anyway, this isn't a fun episode. It was difficult to think about, to record and to edit. Looking back, we probably shouldn't have done an episode that tackles issues of sexual assault. But this topic and this story are very personal and important to me. While it's worth discussing, I'm not sure if I'm able to provide the nuance needed for a topic like this and apologize deeply if any aspect of our discussion comes off as flippant. Sophia and myself have nothing but respect and admiration for those who have survived and thrived after something as traumatic and horrifying as sexual assault. Thank you for listening and know that there is help if you or anyone you know has been the victim of sexual assault. The National Sexual Assault Hotline is 1-800-656-4673 Use your voice. Your story deserves to be heard.…

1:05:38After telling some stories about hanging out at Pride, attending the annual Lilac City Comic Con and almost getting "Hansel and Gretel'ed", this vertiginous duo break down the Mad Max Saga, including a 4 issue tie-in to Fury Road that Vertigo released in 2015. With a story by George Miller and writing credited to Mark Sexton (who also oversaw most of the art) and Nico Lathouris, this hard-to-find series fleshes out the world of Max, Furiousa, Immortan Joe and the like. Fun fact: It's actually up to about $300 on eBay right now! Happy hunting!…

1:05:54Now that the next chapter in the Sandman Universe has dropped, we pick apart the new series, how it relates to the original characters and how well it stands on its own. We also briefly discuss James Gunn's new Superman movie and get far too personal with some stories that probably shouldn't have been told. Look, this isn't our best episode, I'll be honest. That said, it may be my favorite.…

1:47:19While Sophia has a history with the character and an affinity for the movie, Colby has no such connection. As such, this episode is mostly spent asking questions of the film's baffling decisions, googling old issues of Cinescape magazine and deep-diving into the animation department's IMDb pages. Also, IMDb sucks now. Come for the movie talk, stay for the endless diversions.…

1:27:34We're back! For now at least. We talk about the new Sandman TV series on Netflix! It's literally taken years to get to this point so we weren't going to let it pass by without giving it the discussion it so richly deserves. What stayed true to the comic? What was changed? Listen and find out! And feel free to let us know what your favorite part was or if we missed anything!…
We discuss the first volume of the DC New 52 Justice League Dark series. It's terrible! After thoroughly picking apart the worst thing we've read on the series, we say some goodbyes. To the few of you who listened, a heartfelt thank you. However, there were very, very few of you. So it's time to pack this noble failure up and move on. Maybe not forever, but at least for now.…

1:17:30We look through all 10 volumes of Neil Gaiman's Sandman (not counting spin-off's or later volumes) and rank them from worst to best. Although, take this ranking order with a grain of salt because it should be noted that even the "worst" volume of Sandman is still one of the greatest pieces of art ever to be produced. Listen along and then go read this entire series!…
