On the front lines in Ukraine, drones have completely changed the game, turning the battlefield into an intense, round-the-clock tech war. Volunteers and operators on the ground say the air is constantly buzzing with these "birds," making it so dangerous that moving out in the open is almost impossible without getting spotted. Despite the constant threat, these teams are doing incredible work, using drones to drop supplies and pull off daring medical rescues. Bradley talked with Jake Steckler, Research Scholar at GovAI, who shared the details on how this technology is shaping the future of global conflict.

Did you know Boston Common was once the site of public executions, and the Old State House is where British soldiers fired into a crowd in 1770, killing five people? Boston is packed with stories like these, some are well documented, while others have become urban legends passed down through the generations. Bradley welcomed “T” of T’s Storytime on YouTube to explore Boston’s strange history, paranormal stories, urban legends, and some of the city’s lesser-known weirdness.

It was one of those moments when the whole country seemed to hold its breath... John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister, Lauren, were missing after their plane disappeared over the waters near Martha’s Vineyard. What followed was a massive search for the wreckage, with rescuers scouring the ocean for days before the plane and its victims were found. Decades later, the story still fascinates us. Bradley talked with Capt. W. Russell Webster, incident commander for search operations in the JFK Jr. case and a 26-year veteran of the Coast Guard, and historian Theresa Mitchell Webster about that fateful event.

Today’s massive settlement with Meta is putting the dangers of social media addiction back in the spotlight. Meta has agreed to pay up to roughly $17 billion to settle claims that Facebook and Instagram were designed to be addictive and harmful to children, while also agreeing to new protections for young users. While this is certainly a step in the right direction, are we doing enough to protect kids from the pull of social media, and are we, as adults, setting the wrong example?
