Today on Boston Public Radio: We begin the show by opening phone lines to talk with listeners about the day-to-day impact of Massachusetts ending its COVID-19 state of emergency. National Immigration Forum president and CEO Ali Noorani discusses the significance of the newly-released film adaptation of “In The Heights,” which highlights the value of Hispanic immigrant communities in the U.S. He also recaps Vice President Kamala Harris' recent trip to Guatemala and Mexico, and touches on President Biden’s plan to redirect $2 billion in funding for former President Trump's border wall to other national security issues. Dr. Andrew Budson talks about his experience working on clinical trials for Aduhelm, a controversial Alzheimer's drug that recently gained authorization from the FDA. He also speaks to whether he’d recommend it to his own patients. Budson is a professor of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, and Chief of Cognitive & Behavioral Neurology at the Boston VA Healthcare System. His latest book is Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory: What’s Normal, What’s Not, and What to Do About It. RoxFilm festival director Lisa Simmons previews this year’s Roxbury International Film Festival, which runs from June 17th through the 26th. NBC Sports Boston reporter and anchor Trenni Kusnierek gives an update on the 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics, and talks about her own experience preparing to cover the games for NBC. She also touches on recent dialogue around women coaches in the NBA. CNN’s John King discusses President Biden’s forthcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as the U.S.’ pivot toward addressing domestic terrorism. We close out Tuesday’s show by talking with listeners about the enormous backlog of Girl Scout cookies that piled up as a result of slow sales in 2020.
