It’s your friendly, reliable guest host NICOLE SANDLER in for Brad and Desi today on The BradCast, as they begin a much-needed Spring Break. We’ve got some news of the day as usual, along with two timely guests for your listening pleasure. [Audio link to full show follows this summary.]
First, however, a few quick news items of the day. Among them: Ukraine’s sinking of the Moskva, Russia’s flagship in its Black Sea war fleet; and new anti-abortion laws being quickly enacted by GOP states in anticipation of this summer’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that may well end or, at least, severely restrict 1973’s landmark Roe v. Wade precedent and its right to privacy for women seeking reproductive care.
Next, my conversation this week with my friend TANYA in Ukraine. I met her six weeks ago as Putin’s war began, when I cold called the Friends Forever Hostel in Kyiv. We’ve been communicating ever since via text message. And, this week, we connected for the first time via video with Zoom. I’ll share some of that conversation on today’s program.
Finally, my discussion with AMY GAJDA, former journalist turned Tulane University Professor of Law and an expert on privacy and the media. We discuss her new book Seek and Hide: The Tangled History of the Right to Privacy on what is clearly an important topic these days.
Enjoy!…
