On this week's Under the Radar, we're spending the full hour with the Mass Politics Profs , who weigh in on the state of politics at both the national and local level. First, they break down criticisms about Gov. Baker’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis, despite the Biden administration giving him high marks. Then, a look at Boston’s mayor’s race — the most diverse field ever — which could guarantee the city’s first nonwhite mayor. And, Republican governors slash unemployment benefits, saying forcing people off the rolls will combat a labor shortage.
