Oregon Lottery director Jack Roberts joins us to discuss what happened and what's next after his sudden termination by Governor Kate Brown.

Andrew Heben spent years researching and even living in places like Dignity Village in Portland to write "Tent City Urbanism," a guide for cities wanting to build tiny house communities.

We talk with a formerly trafficked sex worker, LaTasha Curry, about how she was recruited into sex work, how she got out of it, and what she's now doing to help other girls and women escape their pimps and get out of the industry.

We'll find out why Portland bar owner Kurt Huffman decided to abandon his "no tipping" policy.
