Federal funding impacts to research for rare diseases. Also, the podcast “This is What it Feels Like” launches season two. Finally, the Women’s Theatre Collective’s new musical “The Hello Girls.”

Since taking office, President Donald Trump’s administration has worked to reshape health policy. These changes include cutting thousands of employees at federal health agencies, as well as efforts to freeze or slash funding for medical research and other health programs. These changes could impact millions of Americans, particularly those living with rare disease diagnoses. Melanie Flood is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Mellie J Foundation, which works to support people living with rare diseases. She joins Insight to talk about what these federal cuts mean for both medical research and treatments, and the potential impact on the lives of patients.

‘This is What it Feels Like’ Season 2

Two years ago, CapRadio launched a podcast asking to put yourself in the shoes of everyday people at the center of issues often overlooked or politicized by society.

Terra Lopez is a Sacramento-based artist and Host of This Is What It Feels Like - which began as an art exhibit. Season 2 officially released today, independently produced by Lopez. She joins us about the new episodes and an upcoming launch party on May 3 at Demo Art & Books in downtown Sacramento.
