Coming up on today’s show:

    Brad Lander, New York City Comptroller, talks about his office’s audit that found issues in the city’s Intensive Mobile Treatment (IMT) program for people with serious mental health issues, the city’s first remote school snow day and more city issues.
    Elizabeth Weise, national correspondent for USA Today, talks about her year-long investigation into why and how communities across the United States are banning wind and solar energy, despite clean energy goals and the consequences of a warming climate.
    Rhaina Cohen, producer and editor of NPR’s Embedded and the author of The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center (Macmillan, 2024), shares stories of people who have made life partners of friends, upending current expectations that spouses would be our closest relationships.
    For the first time since 2021, students in New York City are headed back to their virtual classrooms as opposed to their school buildings thanks to a projected Nor’easter heading towards the area. Listeners share how returning to remote learning on a snow day has played out in their households.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
