Pandemic Parenting; Vaccines & Variants; #AskTheMayor; Super Bowl Calls

On today's show:

• Jessica Bennett, editor at large for The New York Times, and Dekeda Brown, autism mom and advocate and founder of the nonprofit Walk One Day In Our Shoes, talk about a new New York Times project called "Primal Scream" which collects diary entries from working mothers across the country on how they're managing life as we enter into the 11th month of the pandemic.
• Angela Rasmussen, virologist and affiliate at the Georgetown Center for Global Health Science and Security, talks about the latest in vaccine news, including how effective current vaccines are against transmission and what we know about the upcoming vaccines from AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
• New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.
• The Super Bowl is this Sunday, and while the traditional parties will have to be put on hold because of COVID, listeners call in to share who they're rooting for and why, and whether between concussions and the league's late embrace of racial justice advocacy they have considered not supporting the NFL.
