Radio Boston talks with Joanna Jimenez, guaranteed income program participant in Cambridge who received $500 monthly over 18 months, about her experience. Plus, we hear from Dr. Sumit Agarwal, who studied a guaranteed income pilot in Chelsea, about the promise, pitfalls and remaining unknowns of such programs.
