Troublemaker by John Cho
On April 29th, 1992, a jury in Simi Valley, a town just north of Los Angeles, did not convict four LAPD officers for the beating of an African American motorist named Rodney King. Within hours, rioting broke out across the city. A particular target was liquor and convenience stores owned by Korean immigrants. The event is at the heart of actor and writer John Cho’s novel Troublemaker.
Cho joins us to talk about his inspiration for the book and LAPD Officer Tony Hyong Im is our celebrity reader. Readers from Tyler Elementary School in Washington D.C. discuss their own solutions to finding solutions to a community’s anger. Kitty Felde is host.

I love this podcast, can you please do The Giver?
There is Curse words in the podcast even though it’s for kids
I thought this was supposed to be a book club for kids, and there was a bad word in it I do not like this.
helps
I always turn this one when I sleep. It’s so calming and relaxing when I soon drift off. I have trouble going to bed, so while I eat my melitionin and turn this radio on, it has helped me significantly. Thank you
