Summary

Boston Medical Center’s Dr. Katherine Gergen Barnett joins us for a deep dive into the pros and cons of the Ozempic Era. And, we open the phone and text lines to hear from you about how you’re using GLP-1s. Then, Princeton University professor Khalil Gibran Muhammad on the growing momentum of the American Association of University Professors – the academic union fighting against Trump. We re-air our conversation with retired DC Metropolitan police officer Michael Fanone. And end the show will calls about the end of Spirit Airlines and cost of summer travel.
