Episode description as stored
Atlantic journalist Annie Lowrey explores the administrative burdens people face applying for government benefits like unemployment and food assistance. It's not just about wasted time: "When the government treats us like this, we don't trust it," she says. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about her book, The Time Tax: How the Government Wastes Our Time—and How to Fix It . Ken Tucker reviews a new album by the trio The Womack Sisters, nieces of R&B great Bobby Womack.
