During this week's edition of Center Stage, we hear from:

One thing that has gone more unnoticed during the pandemic is the battle against drug addition.  William Moyers, Jr., Vice President of Public Affairs and Community Relations for Hazeldon, explains how people can get help for addictions they or their loved ones may need.  After that, former president of the Hennepin Avenue theater group Fred Krohn joins the program to discuss his new book on the three venues that help keep Minneapolis arts on the map.

Did you get together with people during the Thanksgiving weekend?  Was there a mix of vaccinated and unvaccinated folks at the gathering?  Jearlyn asks what you would do to potentially keep COVID from spreading.  Then, how have COVID, the Gig economy, well-being discussions, and more effected the workforce?  University of St. Thomas adjunct business professor Kelly Leiker joins the program to talk about that.

With the completion of the recent COP26 Summit in Scotland, where does we stand when it comes to combatting Climate Change?  Who better to ask than a climatologist?  Dr. Mark Seeley goes into the numbers and science.

The CDC just approved more people to be open to getting the COVID vaccine boosters.  Why should fully-vaccinated people get that third dose?  Dr. Nneka Sederstrom returns to the program to provide her expertise.

As we close in on the start of the Holiday season, the supply chain problems are grow larger in our daily lives.  How did it get this bad?  Is there any way to fix the issues?  Dr. Paul Vaaler from the U of M Carlson School of Management tries to provide some explanations and solutions.
