Boston Public Radio Podcast

Today on the show, we highlight local reporting from New Hampshire Public Radio and our own newsroom. Lauren Chooljian of NHPR uncovered a pattern of alleged sexual assault and abuse by the founder of the Granite State's largest addiction recovery network. She tells us about her podcast “The 13th Step,” and her own legal battle facing backlash and harassment as a result of her reporting. GBH News' Christopher Burrell recently reported that more than 3,000 incarcerated people here in Massachusetts are waiting to get a vital education to help them re-enter society when they leave prison. We speak with Burrell, and Kenneth Gumes, a graduate of the state Department of Corrections' school of re-entry.
