    Guest Spotlight: New Normal
    Nov 5 2026

    This week we're featuring a story from independent producer Vivien Schütz.

    When Vivien met Gina in 2019, Gina could still make out her silhouette. Gina, a single mother in New York, was gradually losing her sight due to HIV. Over the next five years, Vivien documented her life as the world Gina could see kept changing. Through personal voice memos, interviews and scenes from everyday life, New Normal follows Gina as she adapts to a changing reality.

    New Normal recently won a Third Coast Award.

    The Longest Game
    Oct 22 2026

    In the spring of 1981, the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings met for a minor league baseball game of little importance. But over the course of 33 innings—8 hours and 25 minutes—the game made history. It was the longest professional baseball game ever played.

    This story was produced in collaboration with ESPN's 30 for 30.
