New York Gun Regulation Laws; A School Psychologist on Managing Trauma; Latest on Long COVID; Netflix and Transphobia

Coming up on today's show: 

• Jon Campbell, Albany reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, talks about renewed calls for regulating guns in the wake of two mass shootings.  Plus, New York State Senator Zellnor Myrie (D-20th, Brooklyn), Elections Committee chair, joins the conversation to talk about the just-upheld law he sponsored to hold manufacturers liable for gun violence.
• After the recent shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas, school communities across the country are processing the what happened and many students and teachers are traumatized. Christina Chester, school psychologist and director of psychological services for Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, a member of the National Association of School Psychologists' (NASP) School Safety and Crisis Response Committee, and an author of and master trainer for NASP’s PREPARE School Crisis Response and Intervention training curriculum, talks about how to talk to students about shootings, and how to help teachers and staff process these events.
• Seth Congdon, MD, assistant professor in the department of medicine at Albert Einstein College and the medical co-director of the Montefiore-Einstein COVID-19 Recovery (CORE) Clinic, discusses the latest information on the lingering effects of COVID-19 infections, some of which have been found to last for more than a year.
• A new comedy special on Netflix has drawn criticism for its transphobia. James Factora, freelance writer and reporter, tells us more and shares trans-affirming TV shows and movies to watch instead.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
