BPR Full Show 7/12: Our Barbie World
Floods, fires, humidity -- we asked listeners to call in to share how they're handling the summer weather. Margery and Jared talked with medical ethicist Art Caplan about a new Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi, and a US task force recommending screening for all adults for anxiety disorders. National security expert Juliette Kayyem discussed the rise in extreme weather, flooding in VT, heat in the southwest; and, the latest of Ukraine’s bid to join NATO. Nikki Stewart of the Old North Church and Jazzmin Bonner of Plays in Place discussed the church’s new original play “Revolution’s Edge”. Former public safety secretary Andrea Cabral discussed how the state collects federal benefits meant for children in its care; and the latest on undocumented immigrants getting drivers licenses. Jane Eaglen of the Wagner Society shared a rundown of their summer programming. We're living in a Barbie world. Sometimes fantastic, definitely plastic. We asked listeners whether they are leaning into "Barbie-core" ahead of the new movie next week? And why, after over 60 years, are we so obsessed with this toy?
