NEXT PODCAST
NEXT is a weekly radio show and podcast based at Connecticut Public Radio and powered by the New England News Collaborative.
Our laboratory is all of New England — one of America's oldest places — at a time of change.
Through original reporting and interviews, we ask important questions about the issues we explore: Where are we now? How did we get here? And what's next?
This week on NEXT, we hear from teachers who are agonizing over going back to school and putting their families and themselves at risk — or quitting their jobs. Plus, a doctor who has experienced racism vows to stop being silent when she witnesses injustice. And we remember a Black transgender woman whose brutal murder in Boston helped spark a global movement.
