This is the Radio Boston rundown for July 5. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

  • A year ago this month, a cluster of COVID cases in Provincetown would change how the world regarded immunity from vaccines. First, we check back in with the owner of Provincetown restaurant, The Canteen. Then, we dive into this week's From the Newsroom with WBUR's senior health reporter Gabrielle Emanuel, to talk more about what we learned from last July's outbreak.
  • There are more than 2,000 people belonging to gangs in Boston as of 2019, according to police data. We speak with the CEO of the United Teen Equality Center about how the youth empowerment services agency is reaching out to young people who are already in, or at risk of, joining a gang.
  • The Amesbury Carriage Museum is doing more than showcasing the town's history of artisan carriage making. It's also collecting first-person stories from people living in the shadow of an industrial town charting its future.

This program aired on July 5, 2022.
