Today on Boston Public Radio:
Chuck Todd discussed the latest national news, including President Joe Biden's announcement that a major strike by rail workers has been avoided with a tentative deal. Todd is the moderator of “Meet The Press” on NBC, host of “Meet The Press Daily” on MSNBC and the political director for NBC News.
We then heard from WCAI reporter Eve Zuckoff, who has been reporting on the ground in Martha's Vineyard on the arrival of dozens of migrants sent to the island via charter plane, unannounced, by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; and we opened the lines to hear from listeners.
Andrea Cabral joined us to discuss the case of a woman in California who had her DNA taken as part of a sexual assault investigation five years ago, and later used as evidence to tie her to an unrelated property crime. Cabral is the former Suffolk County sheriff and secretary of public safety, and former CEO of the cannabis company Ascend.
Mary Skipper, Boston Public Schools’ incoming superintendent, laid out her vision for the district. Skipper has been Superintendent of Somerville Public Schools since 2015.
For the remainder of the show, we re-aired some of our favorite conversations, including:
Boston Globe reporter Billy Baker on his book “We Need to Hang Out: A Memoir of Making Friends” and Harvard Business School behavioral economist Michael Norton on the importance of diversifying our social circles.
