BPR Full Show: It's a Jungle Out There

Today on Boston Public Radio:

Attorney General Maura Healey discusses her lawsuit against the Boston Police Department over its refusal to provide internal affairs records on former Boston Police Commissioner Dennis White, and shares her thoughts on Gov. Charlie Baker’s decision to mandate vaccines for Executive Department employees. She also answers listeners’ calls.

Michael J. Bobbitt explains how the arts and culture sector weathered the pandemic, and talks about what the future of performing arts spaces could look like as more venues reopen. Bobbitt is the executive director  of the Mass Cultural Council.

We then play the All Rev’d Up podcast episode “Blackness and Cultural Appropriation.”

Next, we talk with listeners about Amazon’s bid to get a warehouse distribution center in Boston.

Ethan Murrow shares the process behind his wall drawing “The Greenhouse,” which references the old-growth forests that once covered Cape Cod. Murrow is the contemporary artist behind “The Greenhouse,” which is on view at the Cahoon Museum of American Art through Oct. 3.

We end the show by asking listeners if they were comfortable returning to performing arts venues as COVID-19 cases rise.
