Today on Boston Public Radio:

NBC “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd discusses dual House GOP votes on the standings of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Liz Cheney, news on the latest incoming COVID-19 relief bill, and former President Trump’s upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

Next, we open phone lines to talk about listeners’ love-hate relationships with Facebook.

Former Suffolk County sheriff and secretary of public safety Andrea Cabral discusses Wednesday’s suspension of Boston Police Commissioner Dennis White over domestic abuse allegations, and argues for better accountability in local police forces. She also talks about the connections between gun culture, the Confederate flag, and white supremacy.

Harvard Business School behavioral economist Michael Norton talks about his research on how near-death experiences change people’s lives. We then talk with listeners about their near-death experiences and how these experiences have – or haven’t – changed their own lives.

CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem discusses how the FBI’s investigation into coordinated attacks on the Capitol are unfolding. She also talks about how preparations for the Tokyo Olympics are going, in spite of COVID-19.

Huntington Theater managing director Michael Maso talks about the upcoming GBH/Mass Restaurant Association radio play Tiger Style, and the process of putting together a play in quarantine.

We close the show by asking listeners how they’ll be spending their Super Bowl Sunday, pandemic-style.
