      <image:title>The Podcast - Episode 4: How We Save Ourselves - Gloria chats with Elizabeth Warren about how we transform our country’s broken childcare system into one that’s accessible for all. “This is the moment to raise your voice. We have this opportunity to do it, but it's going to take all of us to push until it gets done.” Then, we meet a ragtag group of activists in Portland, Oregon fighting for a free, high-quality, universal preschool program in their community. And “Call It Like It Is” correspondent Kristen Bell joins once more to talk to you – yes you – about how to get involved in the childcare revolution. With Senator Elizabeth Warren, Theresa Ramos from Illinois Action for Children, and parents, educators, and activists from Portland's Universal Preschool NOW! and Preschool for All movements.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Podcast - Episode 3: Good Childcare *Can* Work</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gloria explores the many places where childcare is working for parents – from Berlin, Germany, to Quebec, Canada, and even Patagonia HQ in Ventura, California. “Women are able to go back to work, families can actually afford good childcare, and the system more than pays for itself? Am I on another planet?” Kristen Bell joins Gloria (from outer space) to clue her in on America’s very own top-secret, high-quality, federally-funded childcare system. Plus, Lauren Kennedy and Sarah Muncey from Neighborhood Villages return to tell us how we can make this childcare dream a reality for all. With Caitlin and Charles Vestal, Pierre Fortin, Linda Smith, Ssgt. Alba Ruiz, and Patagonia’s Jenna Johnson. Read more about this episode in our blog recap, "The Rundown".</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Podcast - Episode 2: Birth of a Broken System</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gloria investigates where everything went wrong for childcare in America, and Kristen Bell joins to give Nixon a piece of her mind. “That's the sound of progress dying in the crucible of American politics.” Gloria digs into the shame, guilt, and divisions baked into our earliest day nurseries, and reveals how old-fashioned gender norms and blatant racism killed promising federally-funded, early childcare programs. With Dorothy E. Roberts, Sonya Michel, Alma Gottlieb, Ruth Hoffman, O’Niel Dillon, and Charlotte Riviera (yes – Gloria’s mom).

      <image:title>The Podcast - Episode 1: You’re Not Crazy, Child Care Is</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sarah Muncey, Co-Founder of Neighborhood Villages, kicks off the first of this four-part series by asking a question that virtually every parent asks when they confront the realities of child care: Is this what it’s going to be like? Host Gloria Riviera, special correspondent Kristen Bell, along with parents and educators from Boston’s own Ellis early learning center, share their stories and paint an unfiltered picture of just how broken our child care system is.
