Alright, we’ve had a day to process, Now it’s time to look at what the landscape is and see where the changes we need can be made, and get prepared to make them

So today on the Fabulous 413, we’re speaking with the director of a new documentary that takes a very a la minute look at the issues concerning book bans, with a focus on three teens in South Carolina who approach the issue head on. We Chat with Filmmaker and educator Kate Way about “Banned Together” which is getting a screening at Bombyx in Florence tonight

We’ll also look at shifts in the state’s efforts to ensure that everyone is fed. It’s just been announced that the Healthy Incentives Program (or HIP) is taking a big cut that will drastically reduce the benefits folx will receive across the commonwealth. But that cut adversely affects farmers too, and we’ll talk with the farmers at Northampton’s Tuesday market about the impact of the shortfall, and how you might be able to help.

And our weekly chat with the recently re-elected Jim McGovern addresses the elephant that has recently regained the oval office, and the repercussions a second term for the 45th president may mean for the nation’s future.
