Boston Public Radio Podcast

Today on the podcast, Jared Bowen fills in for Jim Braude. Overheard on the floor of the House, our two favorite MAGA-wing congresswomen – Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Green – get in a tiff. Media maven Sue O’Connell weighs in on that, a rise in anti-L.G.B.T.Q. Incidents around the country, and the rogue pigeon on the loose at the BPL. Then Margery and Jared talk two extraordinary teens: Euniss Yoyo and Dereck Medina. They’re part of the now-infamous Hyde Square Task Force (HSTF), and they recently became enterprising sleuths when they discovered Stop & Shop is charging 18 percent more for groceries in a largely BIPOC area of Boston's Jamaica Plain, compared to the Stop & Shop in Dedham, a more affluent suburb of the city. Also joining: Ken Tangvik, senior manager of organizing and engagement for HSTF.
