Podcast appearances and mentions of Louis D Brown

Today on Boston Public Radio: We opened lines to talk with listeners about the president’s bout with COVID-19, and his abrupt departure from Walter Reed Medical Center on Monday evening. NBC Sports Boston anchor and reporter Trenni Kusnierek discussed abysmal voter registration statistics among players in the NBA, political advocacy in the WNBA, and the latest news around Patriots quarterback Cam Newton’s COVID-19 diagnosis. We aired audio from Monday night’s Senate debate between Sen. Ed Markey and GOP challenger Kevin O’Connor. Tina Chéry, civic leader and founder of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute, discussed the wide-reaching issue of gun violence in Mass., and what her organization is doing to confront it during the coronavirus pandemic. CNN’s John King talked about the latest polling on voter attitudes ahead of the November election, and why the president appears to be falling out favor with the American electorate. He also caught us up on the Republican effort to appoint Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. We opened lines to talk with listeners about creative ways celebrate Halloween safely during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ahmaud Arbery's killing sparks a discussion about gun violence in the United States. Dan and Pat discuss the details of the extrajudicial killing of Arbery, how we almost didn't hear about this travesty, why gun control is such a difficult task in American politics, and why the 2nd Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights in the first place (hint - it wasn't included just so we could fight off a tyrannical government.) Dan sits down with his friend Cindy Diggs, Founder of Peace Boston and Team Leader for the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute. They discuss the Mother's Day Walk for Peace and and the effort to end senseless gun violence on Boston's streets. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trickledownsocialism/support
