This week on Sound Effect, stories of unintended consequences. We start with a story about a truancy law intended to help kids that sometimes has the opposite effect - and what Washington State is doing about it. Then, a scientist who accidentally discovered how BPA might be affecting future generations . We talk to an African American man whose well-intentioned white parents had a few things to learn about preparing him for adulthood in America. Then, we learn the story of West Seattle's short-lived amusement park , and hear how a law meant to help the environment also created an underground economy . "Sound Effect" is your weekly tour of ideas, inspired by the place we live. The show is hosted by 88.5's Gabriel Spitzer. |
