  • As the death toll on Mount Everest hits a four year high, some are wondering if the Nepalese government should begin to limit the number of permits it issues to climbers hoping to summit the world’s highest peak. Medical ethicist Arthur Caplan weighed in.

  • Harvard Business School professor Mike Norton shared his latest research on the ‘ask-braggart’: the technique of asking someone a question just as a way to talk about themselves. Then we opened up the lines and asked listeners if they’ve experienced this in their own lives.

  • WGBH executive arts editor Jared Bowen reviewed a new musical at the A.R.T. about the Arab Spring, “We Live In Cairo,” and other arts and cultural events around town.
