This week, Matt Ruby joins us for another edition of Twitter Moments, in which we talk about these topics that were trending on Twitter as we recorded:
1) Students and teachers across New York say #NeverAgain
2) How did Stephen Hawking live 55 years with motor neurone disease?
3) A husband photobombed his wife 11 years before they even met
We’re also joined by Jacqueline Soller to discuss the recently released movies, Thoroughbreds and A Wrinkle In Time. Along the way, we’ll also hear from Radio Dispatch’s Molly Knefel with her thoughts on the dangerously un-unique ideas of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos; we’ll hear from a woman named Carol, who told us about her belief in fate; and we’ll take an exclusive early listen to a performance by by baroque-pop artist Sur Back, from an episode of BTR Live Studio set to be released next week.
Music composed by and show edited by Hansdale Hsu.
