About The Episode

September 8, 2026 

After a quick check-in on her coverage of the Lindsay Clancy trial, GBH’s Liz Neisloss talks about her recent reporting on ADUs in Massachusetts. She’ll be joined by Amy Dain, senior fellow with The Boston Foundation research center Boston Indicators. 

Then, it’s another round of “Four Things to Know" with Gal Tziperman Lotan from the GBH Daily Newsletter. 

After, following President Trump’s announcement last week of a deal to lower U.S. drug costs, MIT economist Jon Gruber breaks down why prescriptions remain so much more expensive than anywhere else in the world, and a few different paths to lowering costs.

Lastly, Father and son duo Zak & Greg Mertz from New England Wildlife Centers join for a conversation about what local turtle populations are up to this fall.
