Today on Boston Public Radio:
- A heated debate is surrounding the new Myrtle the Turtle sculpture at the Myrtle Street Playground on Beacon Hill. We opened the lines to ask our listeners if they think the sculpture poses a safety threat to children playing on it. Nancy Schon, the sculptor of the piece, personally called in to tell us that a design is in the works for a canopy over the sculpture to prevent it from heating up from the sun.

- Raphael Bob-Waksberg, creator of Netflix animated comedy series "BoJack Horseman," came in to talk about his new book, "Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory: Stories."
