The UK was the first European country to surpass 100,000 deaths from Covid 19. The UK has one of the worst death rates. But can we trust the numbers? Many of our listeners have asked us to investigate. Long Covid is widely acknowledged as being a growing problem, but what are the numbers involved? Just how many people have longterm symptoms after their initial infection? There have been reports that we are drinking more in Lock Down. We examine the evidence. Dr Natalie MacDermott was one of the first guests invited on to More or Less to talk about the new coronavirus early last year. We revisit what she said then and what we know now. Plus, she tells of her own struggles with Long Covid.
Short Wave - Anti-Racist Science Education
Some of the most prestigious scientists in history advanced racist and eugenicist views, but that is rarely mentioned in textbooks. Maddie and Emily speak with science educators about how to broaden science education--including how they tap into kids' sense of justice by incorporating ethics into experiments and how they share contributions of scientists who may be less famous than the big names.

What A Day - Keep Austin Warm
President Biden was in Wisconsin yesterday on his first official trip since taking office making the pitch for his $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill. The House is preparing to vote on the bill by the end of next week, and after that, it heads to the Senate, where we could see a fight over whether to include the $15 minimum wage increase.
Extreme winter weather has debilitated Texas’s weather grid, creating a dangerous situation that left over 3 million people without power last night and has led to multiple deaths. We explain what's behind the weather and the electricity issues.
And in headlines: the NAACP files a lawsuit against Trump and Giuliani for their connection to the Capitol Hill riot, George Conway says the Lincoln Project should be investigated, and Oprah will interview Harry and Meghan.

The Daily Signal - 3 Actions by Biden Administration Could Cost Millions of Jobs
Three actions by the Biden administration could put nearly 10 million American jobs at risk, says Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of the Job Creators Network.
Ortiz joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the economic implications of the Biden White House's canceling the Keystone XL oil pipeline, rejoining the Paris Agreement on climate change, and raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
We also cover these stories:
- Some fellow New York Democrats have harsh words for Gov. Andrew Cuomo with the news that over 15,000 residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities died from COVID-19.
- The House of Representatives moves ahead with President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 "stimulus" package now that former President Donald Trump’s second Senate impeachment trial is over.
- Mainstream fact-check operations fail to correct Vice President Kamala Harris for saying the Biden administration had to "start from scratch" with a vaccine distribution plan.

The Gist - How History Will Remember Trump
On the Gist, Southern cold snap!
In the Interview, Sonari Glinton is back! Which means we’re talking cars. Glinton and Pesca discuss GM's recent proclamation to go electric by 2025. Glinton says that it's not that car makers aren't making profits off of going electric, it's that General Motors' commitment is a sign that the state of things are grave. He projects that automotive companies will be entering into partnerships in an effort to solve environmental problems, and that the new Biden administration in conjunction with the depart of transportation will lead efforts to push the U.S. out of the recession. Glinton is a well-known host in the public radio and podcast realm, and is a former NPR business reporter covering the auto industry and economics.
In the spiel, trying to predict the history books.
