Listen Later

It's official: Bilingual education will return to Massachusetts. But how will the Bay State's education system deal with a shortage of teachers capable of teaching English-language learners? Plus, Luis Gutierrez announces his retirement from Congress, the future of DACA, how Massachusetts is helping Puerto Rico through its post-Maria crisis and success for "Coco" and Alex Cora. It's all on this week's Latinx news roundtable. Guests: Julio Ricardo Varela, co-host of the "In The Thick" podcast, Latino USA contributor and founder of Latino Rebels; and Marcela Garcia, bilingual journalist and editorial columnist for the Boston Globe. In this week's Lagniappe, we talk to UTR contributor and Wellesley professor Michael Jeffries about his latest book, "Behind the Laughs: Community and Inequality in Comedy," which gives readers a sneak peek into the comedy industry. It's our December pick for Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club.
