Matthew Best and Sherry Knowlton are part of the ten-author team behind the book, ‘American Roulette’, a project created in direct response to the country’s accelerating gun-violence crisis. 

They both join the show to talk about why mass-shooting numbers continue to climb, what communities experience long after media attention fades, and how storytelling can help the public feel what data alone can’t. They also discuss their book, American Roulette.
