Rabbi Elan Babchuck joined Jordan to talk about how religious communities can heal loneliness.

Senator Liz Miranda and Representative Christopher Worrell have introduced legislation to end the sentence of life in prison without parole. They stressed this isn't an automatic guarantee of getting out after serving 25 years, but rather an opportunity to go before a parole board. Jordan talked with Hilary Binda, co-producer of MyTERN (Tufts Education Reentry Network) about how they help people post-incarceration.

Jordan Rich filled in on NightSide:

Hunter Biden's former business associate, Devon Archer, testified to the House Oversight Committee today about President Biden's alleged involvement in his son's foreign business dealings. Archer outlined that Hunter would sometimes put the President on speakerphone to impress the room, but his father never talked about business. Joining Jordan to break it all down was Mike Coyne, Dean & Professor of Law at the MA School of Law, Andover.

Dan asked listeners what was the best advice they've ever been given and did they pass it on?

Dan read the transcripts from the Hunter Biden investigation and deciphered its contents for the audience. How much money did Hunter earn? Who were his benefactors?

Then, conversation continued with award-winning photojournalist and author Bill Brett who is well known for his long career at The Boston Globe. They talked about his new coffee table book that's coming out.

There’s no escaping it…we’re living in a world filled with artificial intelligence.

Dan kicked off the show with an examination and exploration of today’s top stories with various experts and reporters. Joining the program was Dan the “Tick Man”, Maggie Holtzberg with the Mass Cultural Council, Glen Gawarkiewicz, Senior Physical Oceanographer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Steven Maler, Founding Artistic Director of Commonwealth Shakespeare Company.
