Boston Public Radio Podcast

Today on Boston Public Radio: Art Caplan weighs in on the state of the pandemic, including the need for a universal digital vaccine card, and whether he’s comfortable giving out handshakes and hugs. Caplan is the Drs. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor and founding head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU School of Medicine in New York City. Then, we ask listeners about their comfort with handshakes, as Norway urges its citizens to avoid the greeting. Callie Crossley unpacks the exoneration of two of the men incarcerated for assassinating Malcolm X, and the latest in the trial of Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael and William Bryan, for shooting Ahmaud Arbery. Crossley hosts GBH’s Under the Radar and Basic Black. Andy Ihnatko talks about Apple’s new repair program, which gives users access to parts and manuals to repair their own iPhones, and how the airdrop feature is interfering in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
