- Boston Mayor Marty Walsh joins us to offer his perspective on what the day means to the city, and the decision to postpone the marathon until September.
- Thomas Grilk, Executive Director of the Boston Athletic Association, talks about the challenges in moving the marathon to the fall, and how he's thinking about possible safety precautions that might be needed.
