The Response - America's Story

This BBC and APM co-production, "The Response - America's Story" seeks listeners' unique stories about the lives they lead and their hopes for the next four years. Americans can tell their realities and reflections of the world, using the technology in their pockets.

In this special broadcast, Sunday, March 5 at 7 p.m., Americans tell their experience of health. Hosted by the BBC's Shaimaa Khalil, this episode presents diverse voices reflecting on human realities of health -- a major focus of the Trump administration's first 100 days. 

We'll hear from a woman who gave her partner a kidney, a proudly uninsured millennial, and a young doctor who aims to upend primary care. Providers to the program are from small towns and big cities. Stories were submitted via voice memos on their phones.
