The Gist - L.A. Disrespectful

A leaked recording revealed three members of the Los Angeles City Council, including the President, engaging in mockery of young children, a gay council member, the indigenous population, and African-Americans. Public comment time was not pretty. And Mike is joined by James A. Geraghty, author of Inside The Orphan Drug Revolution: The Promise of Patient-Centered Biotechnology. Plus, remembering Angela Landsbury—a wonderful actress as well as a symbol of the bygone monoculture.

Consider This from NPR - A Russian Missile, A Little Pink Coffin And Unimaginable Grief

In the span of one morning this week, Russian airstrikes hit cities across Ukraine—some hundreds of miles from the frontline. Throughout the war, even when Russian troops haven't been able to reach Ukrainian cities, their missiles and rockets and artillery have.

More than 6,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since Russia launched its campaign in February, according to the United Nations. NPR's Jason Beaubien has the story of one of those deaths, 11-year-old Nasta Grycenko.

This episode also includes reporting from NPR's Kat Lonsdorf.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
