We'll talk with one of the Starbucks workers about what they want, as well as a labor historian, who help us understand how this strike fits in the larger labor movement.

Plus, the latest debates around where and how people are giving help to those seeking abortions, and expert advice on how we can feel less lonely.

Boston's temperatures are soaring about 90 degrees for most of this week. We break down what we need to learn from this experience to better prepare for a very warm future.

We explore an emerging debate on what are the best ways residents can help those seeking abortions in Massachusetts get them. Is it money? Donations? A place to stay? We discuss.

In our latest episode in our series on wellness, we speak with Jacqueline Olds, a Harvard Medical School associate professor of psychiatry, and Ashley Kirsner, founder of Skip The Small Talk, a group that aims to help people connect and have meaningful interactions.

Massachusetts Congresswoman Lori Trahan joins us to talk about a number of issues, including the ongoing efforts to codify reproductive rights at the state and federal level in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

The strategies have been honed over decades of disease response.

Also, the hidden history of lace making in Massachusetts, and how the community today is carrying that tradition forward.

Lace was so valuable in the late 1700s that you could use it like money. Now, imagine 600 women, men, and children in Ipswich making it at home. They became an economic engine, but are now mostly a part of Massachusetts' Hidden History.

WBUR senior State House reporter Steve Brown walks us through the big issues still facing the Massachusetts Legislature with less than two weeks left in the legislative session.
