BPR Full Show 2/7/23: Peep Show

Today on Boston Public Radio:

We opened phone and text lines to ask listeners about their relationship with work commutes, and if they enjoy getting a moment’s rest before and after the workday.

Trenni Casey discussed a new study finding evidence of CTE in 92 percent of NFL players, and a story about a Connecticut Whole Foods worker who holds the title of most Mount Everest ascents by a woman.

Carol Rose spoke on Massachusetts debuting an abortion resource hotline, as well as a pending lawsuit out of Texas that would ban abortion pills nationwide.

Lee Pelton discussed scrutiny of Memphis police in the aftermath of Trye Nichols’ death, and why he’s not concerned with public criticism of the Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King memorial on Boston Common.

Corby Kummer reflected on the passing of Bob Born, credited with bringing marshmallow Peeps to the masses.

John King gave his two cents on rumors that Labor Secretary and former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh will become Executive Director of the NHL Players’ Association. He also spoke on President Biden’s coming State of the Union Address.

We closed the show by re-opening phone and text lines to discuss listener gripes with America’s transition away from cash.
