After hearing from Rep. Beyer we asked listeners to weigh-in: would you go back to school to learn something new, especially if you thought it would help you do your job better?

GBH news analyst Charlie Sennott discussed the latest with Ukraine/Russia, Biden’s trip to the NATO summit, and Israel’s latest raid on Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.

Commonwealth Shakespeare Company is putting on Macbeth on the Boston Common this summer. We talked with director Steven Maler and actor Faran Tahir, who plays the titular role.

The Revs Irene Monroe and Emmett Price joined to discuss the latest Supreme Court rulings on religious rights at work.

Corby Kummer discussed how climate change is messing with our peach crops; and, a Ukrainian war-themed restaurant originally meant to evoke their fight for independence during WWII that’s taken on new meaning during the current war.

Finally, we opened the phone and text lines to hear from people about their battle against rabbits, which are overrunning Greater Boston, from the city to the suburbs.
