May 9, 2018: Hour 2

The New Orleans news site The Lens reported the energy company Entergy paid actors to attend — and in some cases speak at — public hearings to support a proposed $210 million power plant in eastern New Orleans. We learn more from journalist Michael Isaac Stein. Also, a new study from McGill University finds that working the night shift can change the genes that control our body clocks. That, in turn, can lead to other negative impacts on health. And, late-spring days are warm — but the evenings can still be chilly.

That and more, in hour two of Here & Now's May 9, 2018 full broadcast. You can read and hear more at hereandnow.org, follow us on Twitter and join the conversation on Facebook and Tumblr.
