BPR Full Show: Play Ball

Chuck Todd on the latest out of D.C., and his contentious interview last Sunday with Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina.

Then we opened the phone and text lines to get listener’s take on Red Sox Opening Day. Does this mean it’s officially spring? Turns out, we have many nature-loving listeners who depend on the sound of spring peepers to signal the new season, not the ump’s call.

Andrea Cabral on Chat-GPT making its way to Indian courtroom. She also discussed an indictment charge for the man who drove his car into a Hingham Apple store, the skiing trial of Gwyneth Paltrow and Adnan Syed (of “Serial” fame) getting his murder conviction reinstated.

Michael Curry on accusations of racism in Wayland after a Black superintendent was placed on leave, and how some members of the NAACP are looking to get a travel advisory for Florida. He also touched on a few medical stories, including over the counter Narcan and a nursing home COVID outbreak.

Elie Honig is a former federal prosecutor turned podcaster. The latest season of his show Up Against the Mob focuses on organized crime in Springfield. He joined to discuss.

Kara Baskin is on to discuss some of her latest parenting/advice columns. This week it’s how to talk to your kids about gun violence, navigating perimenopause, bracing for college admissions season as a parent, and navigating a breakup/divorce during March (the month to do it, apparently).

We continued the college admissions discussion by hearing from listeners. What advice would they give to parents or young kids about college?
