BPR Full Show 7/11: Ask The Mayor
Today: The recently launched social media application called "Threads" has amassed an astonishing user base of over 100 million individuals. We asked listeners if they feel limited to selecting between two powerful billionaires who prioritize their financial interests over fostering democracy. NBC Sports Boston reporter Trenni Casey examined preferential admissions at Harvard for recruited athletes, the New York Times ending its sports section and news of Megan Rapinoe retiring. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu answered questions from the audience with topics ranging from empty offices converting into residences, teacher union contracts, CNN’s John King joins via zoom for the latest politics. Is clutter meaningful? Or is minimalism the way to go? We asked listeners how they approach the objects they might find a use for years from now.
