Today on Boston Public Radio:
Today on The Curiosity Desk: Misinformation researcher Joan Donovan. MIT economists Jon Gruber and Nathan Hendren on how you gauge good policy from bad. And Dan Souza from America’s Test Kitchen helps us ring in National Peach Day by teaching Edgar his not-yet-patented "Rubik’s Technique" for perfect slicing.
Today on The Culture Show: Christopher Rothko joins us to discuss the 1934 Gloucester Harbor painting by his father that he has donated to the Cape Ann Museum — and what it reveals about Mark Rothko before abstraction; then, filmmaker Ivy Meeropol on Ask E. Jean, her documentary about E. Jean Carroll. The film screens tonight at the Nantucket Film Festival; and Washington Post reporter Danielle Paquette on “Broken American Dream,” a 28-hour role-playing game outside Warsaw built around a fictional Ohio trailer park — and what it says about the American Dream abroad.
