In the summer of 2020, sixteen-year-old Antonio Mays Jr. traveled a thousand miles to join the racial justice movement of his generation. He arrived in Seattle during the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, known as CHOP. Less than a week later, he was shot and killed there. The case remains unsolved. In this eight-part series, first published on NPR’s Embedded, KUOW’s Will James and The Seattle Times’ Sydney Brownstone track down key figures and eyewitnesses from the night of the shooting and surface crucial evidence that has never been made public. We Keep Us Safe is a joint production of KUOW, The Seattle Times, and NPR’s Embedded. Focus is KUOW’s home for immersive audio documentaries. Each season zooms in on a single story that challenges commonly held narratives about life in the Pacific Northwest and reveals something bigger about American society. Series include Adults in the Room and the Peabody-nominated Lost Patients.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T02:17:49.820304+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/focus-we-keep-us-safe-6818662"},"episode":{"title":"Lost Patients Live: First-Person Stories from Seattle's Mental Health Crisis","slug":"lost-patients-live-first-person-stories-from-seattle-s-mental-health-crisis","published_at":"2024-06-26T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/focus-we-keep-us-safe-6818662/lost-patients-live-first-person-stories-from-seattle-s-mental-health-crisis","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/focus-we-keep-us-safe-6818662","url":"https://omny.fm/shows/kuow-focus/lost-patients-live-first-person-stories-from-seattles-mental-health-crisis","audio_url":"https://tracking.swap.fm/track/uxCn8UtjXBanXSJB9HIb/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/fa64d43e-1285-4f73-948e-aeae00546c65/720cb5cc-77e6-48bc-a7de-b31d0138ee62/82dd9ea1-b9c2-41e2-a24a-b31d01391fb4/audio.mp3?utm_source=Podcast&in_playlist=b4342eb5-1524-43a8-9588-b31d0138ee72","summary":"Lost Patients compares the system for treating mental illness in America to an elaborate house, where every room, hallway and staircase was designed independently by a different architect. So what is it like to be shuttled from room to room? What sorts of tradeoffs are doctors working within this system forced to make every day? And what might it look like to design care around the needs of patients? KUOW and the Seattle Times convened a forum at the Seattle Public Library to hear perspectives and answer questions. Featured guests included: Laura Van Tosh, patient advocate and founder and convener of Mental Health Policy Roundtable Carolynn Ponzoha, patient advocate and content creator who goes by @psychotic.in.seattle on TikTok Timothy Jolliff, acting senior director of clinical programs at the Downtown Emergency Service Center in Seattle Dr. Paul Borghesani, associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine You can find resources for people with mental illness and related stories from The Seattle Times and KUOW here: https://www.seattletimes.com/component/lost-patients-podcast/ https://www.kuow.org/podcasts/lost-patients See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.","meta_description":"Lost Patients compares the system for treating mental illness in America to an elaborate house, where every room, hallway and staircase was designed indep…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3290,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/focus-we-keep-us-safe-6818662/episodes/lost-patients-live-first-person-stories-from-seattle-s-mental-health-crisis/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/focus-we-keep-us-safe-6818662/lost-patients-live-first-person-stories-from-seattle-s-mental-health-crisis.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
