First up, we check in with professor Rocky Weitz from the Tufts Fletcher School. Now that we are 5 months out from the US government overthrowing Maduro we ask - how are Venezuelans faring today, and how far off is true democracy? Then, GBH’s Gal Tziperman-Lotan & Senior Producer Aidan Connelly return with Four Things To Know for June 9th.We round out our show with Pigeon Palooza! We’ll start with journalist Rachel Nuwer and author Rosemary Mosco on man’s long & storied relationship pigeons.
