The vaccine rollout continues: how long will it take before we see the benefits, and what benefits will we see? Figures suggest the UK?s economy performed worse than almost anywhere else in the world during the pandemic. But are the numbers misleading us? Alarming claims have been circulating about the number of suicides during lockdown. We look at the facts. Plus, will UK fishing quotas increase two thirds in the wake of Brexit? We trawl through the data.

President-elect Joe Biden has spoken publicly about his childhood stutter.

NBN Book of the Day - André Gregory, “This Is Not My Memoir” (FSG, 2020)
André Gregory's not-memoir This Is Not My Memoir (FSG, 2020) is a fascinating trip through theatre history as seen through the eyes of one of its greatest directors. The André we encounter in this book will be familiar to fans of his theatre work or of his celebrated performance in My Dinner with André: curious, ebullient, searching, passionate, funny, and inspiring. This book also includes reflections on André's collaborations and friendships with some of theatre's greatest artists, including Jerzy Grotowski, Wallace Shawn, and Helene Weigel. This book belongs on a shelf next to great autobiographies of the theatre like Harold Clurman's The Fervent Years and Tennessee Williams' Memoirs.
Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts.

What A Day - Hello, Goodbiden
Trump leaves office today after four years of hellish incompetence. We reflect on the challenges President Biden and Vice-President Harris will inherit as they takeover.
The Senate trial for Trump’s impeachment still looms, as do Cabinet confirmations. Plus, Biden plans to send Congress a major immigration bill today, which is expected to include a path to citizenship for 11 million immigrants living in the US without legal status.
And in headlines: the SAT’s will no longer have optional essays or subject tests, corporations pause donations to GOP lawmakers who voted not to certify the election, and North Carolina Senator Richard Burr won’t be charged with insider trading.

The Daily Signal - What You Need to Know About Critical Race Theory
Critical race theory is fast becoming part of classroom curriculums and the larger culture in general.
The Heritage Foundation recently hosted a panel discussion breaking down what critical race theory is and why it poses a threat. The event features insights from several Heritage scholars and policy experts.
On today's podcast, we share the audio from the event, “The New Intolerance: Critical Race Theory and Its Grip on America.”
We also cover these stories:
- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., says that soon-to-be-ex-President Donald Trump is partly to blame for the breaching of the Capitol by rioters on Jan. 6.
- Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, says she isn’t sure it’s constitutional to hold an impeachment trial for a president after he has left office.
- The United States says China is committing genocide with its repression and forced labor of the Uighurs and other Muslim minorities.
