Synopsis:

Pandemic resurgence, 40 Years at WBAI, Poppies and Politics

R. Paul talked about the changes he was going through 40 years ago, including his joining the WBAI Gay Men's Department.

We talked about the COVID~19 pandemic, cases and deaths are rising again. COVID-19 has been the number one killer of law enforcement officers in 2020, and has remained so in 2021.

Pickles of the North gave our listeners a heads up on the lunar eclipse that's happening this week. It will be the longest one since the year 1440!

Pickles of the North gave us a brief history of the poppy as used as a symbol over the past 100 years.
