Today on Boston Public Radio: We started the show by taking our listeners' calls to ask how they felt about the widespread broadcast of the video depicting Memphis police officers violently beating Tyre Nichols. We also asked listeners about whether the police reforms implemented following George Floyd have had any meaningful impact. Then GBH news analyst Charlie Sennott came on to discuss the political brinkmanship between the U.S. and Germany that led to both countries giving tanks to Ukraine. He also predicted that the war will continue for months because the Russian government has been effective in generating support for the invasion by misrepresenting how successful its military has been on the ground. Charlie Sennott is the founder of The GroundTruth Project and is a GBH News Analyst. Michael Curry, the CEO of the Mass League of Community Health Centers, discussed the limitations of police reform efforts following the release of the body cam footage showing officers violently attacking Tyre Nichols. Curry argued that there is too much deference and trust in police departments among the public and media. He also argued in support of continuing to diversify police forces, saying that impact will take time to materialize. Michael Curry is the President and CEO of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers. He's also a Member of the National NAACP Board of Directors, where he chairs the board's Advocacy & Policy Committee. Mass Teachers Association president Max Page discussed the push among teachers unions to change a Massachusetts law that bans public employees from going on strike. He also discussed the ongoing teacher strike in Woburn as educators there push for better wages for paraprofessionals and smaller class sizes. Page also discussed the potential impact of the Fair Share Amendment, a ballot question that passed this fall which changed the state Constitution mandating an additional 4 percent tax on earnings more than 1 million dollars and earmarking that revenue for transportation and education. Revs. Irene Monroe and Emmett Price discussed the limitations of police reform and the need for change in police training around the perceptions and stereotypes of young black men. The Reverends also discussed a statement released by Patrick Clancy, the father of the three children who were killed by their mother during a bout of postpartum psychosis, which asked for forgiveness for his wife. The Revs also discussed Pope Francis's comments that homosexuality is a sin but not a crime. Reverend Irene Monroe is a syndicated religion columnist and the Boston voice for Detour's African American Heritage Trail and co-host of the All Rev'd Up podcast. Emmett G. Price III is founding pastor of Community of Love Christian Fellowship in Allston, the Inaugural Dean of Africana Studies at Berklee College of Music and co-host of the All Rev'd Up podcast. V, formerly known as Eve Ensler, discussed her new book “Reckoning” and the 25th anniversary of "V Day", which is a day dedicated to ending violence against all women, trans women and non-binary people. We ended the show with a call-in session asking our listeners how they feel about dining out alone.

This week on the Practical Preservation Podcast, Danielle speaks with author Max Page about his book "Why Preservation Matters". They also discuss why preservation is important, and how to balance green building with preserving buildings, and history. You can contact Max via email at mpage@umass.edu.
