BPR Full Show: Too Cool for the Fridge?

Hosts Jim and Margery held a Political Weekend in Review at the top of the show to cover weekend news that caught their eyes and might’ve caught yours. Then, we opened the lines to take calls and texts from listeners to join the conversation.

Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio joined to discuss her attempt to audit the legislature and her response to Massachusetts House Speaker Ron Mariano rejecting the audit.

Inaugural poet Richard Blanco joined to discuss the connection between poetry and civic engagement, how to be a “poet statesman” – he’s just received the National Humanities Medal from the White House earlier this month.

Reverends Irene Monroe and Emmett Price discussed the rise in antisemitic incidents in Mass last year, and a report that nearly half of LGBTQ Americans are young and claim no religion.

Boston Globe Love Letters columnist Meredith Goldstein discussed some of her latest columns, including on Somerville approving an antidiscrimination ordinance to protect people in polyamorous relationships.

We ended the show inspired by a piece from the Washington Post. We asked listeners where they put their kitchen goods. Do tomatoes belong in the fridge? What about ketchup?
