We're talking about 93 bills that have been proposed in 35 states since George Floyd died.

Around the country, legislators are pushing bills that quashed the right to protest.

From WNYC in New York, this is on the media. I'm Brooke Gladstone.

And I'm Bob Garfield. This week's news that NASA flew a helicopter on Mars made for a notable moment in the work-from-home era.

One of the guys behind that historic flight did it from his childhood bedroom.

My mom used to say, you know, you'll never make anything happen if you don't get out of bed.

Tusha. And you'll never make anything happen if you don't get out of bed. Tushay.

And you'll never guess what this child actor is up to now.

You meet someone and they're like, oh, you're dash.

You could be like, I just shot someone and they die.

And they'd be like, cool, so like, did you meet Samuel Jackson?

And that makes you feel like you don't have a lot of agency over your own life.

It's all coming up after this.

So now it's really spring.

And with the change of the seasons come rituals that remind us of what matters in each of our lives.

That is when we come to you.

Except in summer we don't usually come then,

to ask for your support, because we matter to you. At least we hope we do. If you've never

supported us with a donation anyway, would you now? It doesn't matter how much. If you have, would you please do it again? And if you're a

sustaining member, would you consider giving a little more? Our show is ongoing, 20 years so far,

and so is the need, not just for us. I'm thinking also for you.

Our world never ceases to be interesting and challenging.
