First hour: Understanding the federal child tax credit
Second hour: Julia Hoyle and Nova Cadamatre on diversifying the wine industryThe Biden administration has launched the biggest anti-poverty program in more than half a century in this country. The money started rolling out last Thursday: checks to households in every state, aimed at helping more than 60 million children. Who gets the money, and how far will it go? Our guests break down what we need to know about this ambitious plan. Our guests:
- Pete Nabozny, director of policy for The Children's Agenda
- Yversha Roman, director of CASH (Creating Assets, Savings, and Hope) at the Empire Justice Center
- Jessica Fleming, local mother and advocate
There are more women making wine in the Finger Lakes than ever before, and yet the industry remains largely run by men. Efforts to diversify have been slow. Julia Hoyle was a women's studies major at William Smith College when she entered the wine industry; now she's the winemaker at Hosmer, where she's occasionally told she "drives the forklift like a man." Nova Cadamatre is the first woman winemaker to become a Master of Wine in the entire country; previously it was all men. Cadamatre launched her own wine label in the Finger Lakes. We talk to Hoyle and Cadamatre about the efforts to bring change to an industry that still sometimes assumes that women's ceiling is a tasting room job. Our guests:
- Julia Hoyle, winemaker at Hosmer Estate Winery
- Nova Cadamatre, winemaker at Trestle 31
