Our country has always been a hot mess. But now, between political rage, climate crises and social-media polarization, it’s quite literally on fire. This low-key mid-apocalyptic moment has raised a question for Tony-award-winning Sarah Jones and her many characters: America, Who Hurt You?
Bookended by the debates, dialogues, and hilarious digressions of the characters made famous by Sarah’s one-person shows and acclaimed film Sell/Buy/Date, this podcast explores our political dramas, personal traumas, and how the two are connected. Plus: we’ll have some of the smartest people we know stop by to sit with Sarah and unpack it all. America, Who Hurt You? holds up a loving but accurate mirror to our country’s range of faces as we try to save democracy—or at least stop doom-scrolling.

Rosalynn Carter once said, “There are only four kinds of people in the world, people who are caregivers, or will be caregivers, people who need care or will need care.” This week, host Sarah Jones is joined by Ai-jen Poo, an award-winning organizer, author, the executive director of Caring Across Generations and president of the National Domestic Workers’ Alliance. Sarah and Ai-jen dive into the “care economy” and how we’re all part of it, even if we don’t know what it is. Whether the subject is childcare, elder care, or supporting the over 42 million Americans with disabilities, Ai-jen and Sarah pull back the curtain on why care is “the work that makes all other work possible.”
