NightSide With Dan Rea

Bradley Jay Fills In On NightSide with Dan Rea:

It seems these days, many people are quicker to anger than they used to be. Perhaps it's due to a combination of chronic stress, deep political and social divisions, financial pressures, or the constant churn of social media. Frequent exposure to outrage, combined with declining face-to-face interaction and growing feelings of isolation, can make it easier for disagreements to escalate into hostility. Bradley talked with psychologist Alice Connors-Kellgren about how to handle either your own anger or someone else's.

Recently, an 18-year-old tourist in Singapore was arrested after filming himself licking a straw and putting it back into a vending machine. While the incident may seem minor, it reflects Singapore's strict enforcement of laws aimed at maintaining public order. Supporters say that approach leads to safer streets, cleaner public spaces, lower crime, and greater trust among citizens. Could the U.S. stand to learn from Singapore's stricter approach to public order?

As we celebrate this historic Fourth of July milestone, let’s not forget the history behind it: the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the United States’ break from Britain’s rule! It represents the birth of a nation built on the ideals of liberty, self-government, and individual rights. The day is about reflecting on those principles and the ongoing effort to live up to them. Bradley talked with Dr. Samuel Forman, historian, Harvard University faculty member, and founding board member of The Pursuit of History, about how we got here and where we’re going.

Hundreds of teachers and classroom aides in the Boston Public Schools could lose their jobs this fall as the district struggles with budget pressures. School officials say the reductions are being driven by declining enrollment, rising health insurance and labor costs, the end of federal pandemic aid, and lower state education revenue. The Boston Teachers Union says the cuts will hurt students, and Dan talked with union president Eric Berg.
