Description

NBC10 Boston's Sue O'Connell guest hosts with Margery while Jim is still out on vacation.

Businesses are seeing workforce disruptions with ICE disruptions. We talk to Amherst College’s Ilan Stavans about that, plus, about a new study on how language barriers affect your internet experience.

It's still summer movie season. Boston Globe film critic Odie Henderson is back with his unabashed reviews of new summer flicks, including the Freaky Friday sequel and some Disney reboots. 

For more than 40 years, former labor secretary Robert Reich has been sounding the alarm on rising inequality in America, and how to fix it. He’s out with a new memoir “Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America."

It's All Rev’d Up with the Revs Emmett G. Price III and Irene Monroe. They talk about technology and faith: including the rise of Silicon Valley techno-religion, and an AI chatbot for religious questions.
