Retired Army four-star Gen. Stanley McChrystal, now at Yale, joins us to talk about his new book, on lessons from Boston's early pandemic response, Afghanistan and 9/11 to better understand how we mitigate risk.

In a new series called "Power Shift, the Promise of Offshore Wind," WBUR and E&E News look deeply at wind and what it means for us and the world.

Plus, we take listener COVID-19 questions in our Ask The Doctors. And we hear from a retired four-star general on how to understand and mitigate risk.

Infectious disease experts Dr. Sabrina Assoumou with Boston Medical Center and Dr. Helen Boucher at Tufts Center join us to dig into the latest on the pandemic.

We check-in with WBUR Reporter Yasmin Amer from Heartbreak Hill, on how spectators are experiencing the marathon differently this year.

This week, we're debriefing everything from the Boston mayoral race to social media woes to state spending.

While each running of the marathon is special in its own way, will this year's have a particular place in history? And will there be lessons learned for the next marathon in just a few months' time?

We speak with Paula Peters, or Sonk Waban, a member of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe and an independent scholar of Wampanoag history.

Conversations with our reporters from along the course, but a lesson in the shared history of today with a scholar in indigenous history.

We check in with reporter Alex Ashlock, who's been out on the course all day covering the race for WBUR.
