TalkPoverty Radio relaunched as Off-Kilter. Listen to new episodes of the show on Soundcloud, and follow the show on Facebook and Twitter.  Everyone is talking about Harvard sociologist Matthew Desmond’s groundbreaking new book, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. Desmond joins TalkPoverty Radio for a behind-the-scenes look at how eviction is not just a condition of poverty but a cause of it. Next we’re joined by Congresswoman Gwen Moore, who represents Milwaukee as part of Wisconsin’s 4th District, as well as housing experts who share their views on what we can do to protect low-income renters from exploitation.
