This is the Radio Boston rundown for March 23, 2023. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

  • The 'Be My Eyes' app aims to help the visually impaired with everyday tasks. Recently, the company that created Chat GPT-4 has partnered with the app. Boston Globe technology writer Hiawatha Bray returns to discuss its benefits and risks.
  • In Boston, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is often acknowledged for his leadership during the civil rights movement, but Malcolm X does not get the same recognition. Associate professor in the Department of Africana Studies at Wellesley College, Kellie Carter Jackson, and journalist and author, Dart Adams explore the differences and why it matters.
  • The music community continues to mourn after the passing of renowned saxophonist Wayne Shorter. In today's show, two musicians who played alongside Shorter join us to reflect on his legacy and impact on jazz.
