Here's the Radio Boston rundown for Feb. 6. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

  • WBUR's Chris Citorik joins us from New Hampshire for Sen. Bernie Sanders's announcement claiming victory in the Iowa caucuses.
  • Educators with the Boston Teacher's Union are organizing for racial justice as part of a nationwide effort called Black Lives Matter at School. But some local law enforcement have taken issue with the effort, calling Black Lives Matter an anti-police organization. We dig into the controversy.
  • Michael Tougias tells the story of an ordinary winter rescue mission that got lost at sea in "Into The Blizzard: Heroism At Sea During The Great Blizzard of 1978."
  • State Sen. Diana DiZoglio breaks down what happened to her bill, which would ban NDA's for issues of sexual harassment, which was tabled Wednesday.

Correction: The audio attached to this post has been updated to remove an incomplete description of a change to New Hampshire's voting law. The headline was also changed to reflect that it is members of the Boston Teachers Union that are organizing the 'Black Live Matters' curriculum.
