Here is the Radio Boston rundown for Nov. 23. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

  • Thanksgiving this week is on a collision course with the coronavirus.  With social media full of pictures of packed airports, public health officials in Massachusetts briefed mayors on what could quickly turn into a dire situation over the holidays. We speak to Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone and then take your calls with an advice columnist and a family therapist about how to navigate this week.
  • All over the country, there's been a renewed focus on "Brady" lists, which are lists prosecutors keep about police whose past conduct may disqualify them from testifying in court. In New Hampshire, the one statewide "Laurie List" has always been secret. Now, there's a legal battle underway to make it public.
  • Eight months into this pandemic, the future of Boston's hospitality industry is still uncertain. That uncertainty is weighing heavily on people like Marta McClung.As part of our series "Living Through Corona," we talk to McClung, who works in housekeeping at the Omni Parker House, fears her position could be gone forever.

This program aired on November 23, 2020.
