{fray} hope: missing pieces
Documentary: 102 Minutes That Changed America (YouTube, 1 hour 36 minutes)
I’m catching up on my podcasts after our vacation and listened to two episodes of This American Life today:
This American Life: 592: Are We There Yet? and 593: Don’t Have to Live Like a Refugee (29 July and 5 August, 2016).
There is an interactive tour of five Greek refugee camps as well, where you can see the five camps they visited in the two episodes and watch short film clips.
Also, read on the This American Life blog how to help.

I don’t think I’ve linked to any of the videos here, but I’ve been a fan of James Cordon’s carpool karaoke for a while. His latest guest was the First Lady of the United States:
