Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard · Claudia Rowe (on the foster care system) · 4 Feb 2026 podcast

I see that this girl, Marianne, is kind of the embodiment of all this stuff that had been sort of rumbling around in my head for years as a reporter.

And there she is in front of me.

So I want to understand you.

Help me get in your head.

So that was the start.

And then the book goes way beyond Marianne.

Marianne is one of six main characters in this book.

They range in age.

The youngest was not Marianne.

The youngest was 18 when she and I started talking.

And the oldest was in his late 50s.

And the point being...

This is not some recent trend or some sudden spike.

This has been the case for a long time, for virtually as long as we've had foster care, over a century.

This overlap with the criminal justice system or the criminal legal system, whatever is your preferred terminology.

This has been a thing all along.

It seems like you've read the book, so you know that even in 1892, the first person legally executed in the brand new state of Wyoming, Foster Kidd, who shot two guys.

Again, desperate, on the street, hungry.

Not returned to her dad.

So that person is a foster placement.
