This is the Radio Boston rundown for April 12. Our host is Tiziana Dearing.

  • Mating season for wild turkeys is in full swing, and it comes with an uptick in turkey sightings, as well as some peculiar behaviors on display as male turkeys attempt to assert their dominance.
  • Yamba Market was part of the first group of recreational cannabis businesses to be awarded equity status through the state's program meant to increase diversity in the local cannabis industry. Four years later, the store is finally opening its doors for business in Cambridge's Central Square.
  • Roughly 70 years ago, Virginia "Ginny" Smithers-Sanders first made waves as a middle-school swimmer. Now, the city of Somerville is naming the pool at the John F. Kennedy School in her honor.

This program aired on April 12, 2022.
