Boston Public Radio Podcast

Today on Boston Public Radio: We opened lines to ask listeners: why do you think it’s taken so long for white America to denounce racism? MIT economist Jon Gruber talked about the value in repurposing generic drugs to treat COVID-19, and the politics around cure and vaccines developments.  We aired live audio from Gov. Charlie Baker’s Wednesday press conference.  Medical ethicist Art Caplan discussed the risks of rushing a COVID-19 vaccine, and the unsurprising spike in Americans binging on junk food in quarantine.  Writer and naturalist Sy Montgomery talked about what to do if you spot a turtle in the road, and offered some tips on helping your pets adjust to life post-quarantine.
