Portland Homeless Shelters | Flintstones Comic Book

• We check in with Marc Jolin with the Portland and Multnomah County-led effort to address homelessness about how many people are currently sleeping unsheltered on the streets in the metro area and the overall progress of "A Home for Everyone."

• Portlander Mark Russell is the brains behind the new Flintstones comic series, based on the TV series that Russell himself calls "unwatchable." The new series has garnered accolades for its incisive social satire. We talk to Russell about the series as well as his books retelling biblical stories, "God is Disappointed in You" and "Apocrypha Now."
