Panelists break down President Trump's address to the nation, a new bill to encourage more co-op business models, Mass. healthcare providers halting gender affirming care, and what gambling harm prevention looks like.

The Trump administration does not want children to have access to gender-affirming care — and is using federal policies and financial threats to make that happen.

We talk to the creators of the annual fundraiser for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampshire County, Big Love Little Performances, meet the CEO of Transhealth, Jo Erwin, and explore the night sky with Mr. Universe.
