BPR Full Show 6/23: String on the Music

Days after the Titanic submersible, the Coast Guard announced yesterday that the passengers suffered a “catastrophic implosion”. We opened the lines to see how listeners are reacting.

Eliot Fisk and Zaira Meneses performed for live music Friday ahead of their Boston Guitar Fest.

Sue O’Connell offered her thoughts on the Titan implosion, the Musk/Zuckerberg cage match and more.

Lisa Simmons, Hank Shocklee and John Oluwole ADEkoje discussed the Roxbury International Film Festival. Lisa is the festival director, and John and Hank’s latest film YE! is playing at the festival.

Andy Ihnatko talked about the new Apple VR goggles, plus drama unfolding on the social media platform Reddit.

Euniss Yoyo and Dereck Medina are members of the Hyde Square Task Force, the group of teenagers who found that Stop and Shop charges 18% more for groceries in a predominantly BIPOC part of Boston compared with a branch in Dedham. They joined alongside Ken Tangvik, senior manager of organizing and engagement for HSTF.

It’s Summer… or is it? We asked listeners about their beach rituals with a focus on whether music should be played out loud.
