BPR Full Show 4/14: "Ask the Governor" with Governor Maura Healey

Today on Boston Public Radio:

We asked listeners if they’ve ever ran the Boston Marathon. And if they’re in the group of people who keep telling themselves they’ll just run it the next year, when is it time to admit the truth to yourself?

An earlier-than-usual Live Music Friday with Zili Misik, an Afro-Latin band. The founder and front-woman of the band Kera Washington shared music from the African diaspora that is bound to get you in the groove.

GBH’s senior investigative reporter Phillip Martin is featured in the three-part Netflix documentary “American Manhunt: The Boston Bombing.” He discussed his reporting on the tragedy and subsequent trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

The artist behind the Boylston Street memorial to victims of the bombing, Pablo Eduardo, reflected on the years-long effort to bring the project to fruition. He also touches on the role of public art in our experience dealing with tragedy and grief.

Dave Fortier is a bombing survivor and president of the One World Boston Foundation, which helps connect survivors of terrorist attacks with community and resources. He shared what the foundation’s all about, and how he’s feeling just days before running his 11th Boston marathon.

Sue O’Connell shifted things up and talked NPR’s Twitter exit, an Instagram account dedicated to AI depictions of Republicans as drag queens, Bud Light’s ad campaign clashing with far-right ghouls and Kid Rock, and Trump’s chaotic interview with Tucker Carlson.

Maura Healey joined for “Ask the Governor.” She reflected on her first 100 days in office, the FBI’s arrest of Jack Teixeira, the House’s $1.1 Billion tax package, Phillip Eng at the MBTA, and more.
