We'll also remember drummer extraordinaire Sly Dunbar, whom we lost earlier this week. Hope you can join us!

On this week's show, we present a bunch of new music, including a number of releases in support of the brave resistance in Minneapolis, with selections from Billy Bragg, My Morning Jacket, Bruce Springsteen, Mitski, Boot Juice, the James Hunter Six and more!

You're in a hospital. There’s a whirlwind of people in scrubs and white coats. It can be confusing trying to figure out who's who. Is that person a nurse, a respiratory therapist, a resident physician, a senior doctor? Who's actually in charge? It sounds simple but can be quite complicated – knowing who is actually treating you in a hospital. It is a real problem because while those in the medical field understand the hierarchy, for patients these roles are often totally opaque. This is not just an identity crisis. Helen Haskell tells us why this is a serious patient safety concern and what we can do about it.
