Episode 500: Caitlin Dickerson
b'Caitlin Dickerson is a staff writer for\\xa0The Atlantic\\xa0covering immigration. Her latest article, on the secret history of U.S. government\\u2019s family-separation policy, is\\xa0\\u201dAn American Catastrophe.\\u201d\\n\\u201cInterviewing separated families, I\\u2019ve found, is just on a whole other scale of pain and trauma. I\\u2019ve watched people have really intense PTSD flashbacks in front of me. I never wanted to risk asking a family to open up in that way if I didn\\u2019t know that I\\u2019d be able to use that material. The worst thing you can do is waste someone\\u2019s time in a way that causes them pain.\\u201d\\nShow notes:\\n\\n@itscaitlinhd\\n\\nDickerson on Longform\\n\\nDickerson\\u2019s\\xa0Atlantic\\xa0archive\\n\\n09:00\\xa0Dickerson\\u2019s\\xa0New York Times\\xa0archive\\n\\n\\n09:00\\xa0Dickerson\\u2019s\\xa0NPR\\xa0archive\\n\\n\\n15:00\\xa0The Fifth Risk\\xa0(Michael Lewis \\u2022 W.W.
