We're seeing record-high gas prices at the pump each and every day. You're shelling out way more for groceries and household items. What is going on? It's not just one factor driving all this, and UMass Assistant Professor of Analytics and Operations Management Dr. Belleh Fontem joins Nichole to break it all down. Dr. Fontem also has tips on how you can save some cash during this time, and thoughts on how this current financial crisis is contributing to climate change. Eric Butler, the mastermind behind the new pilot "Broadway in Worcester", talks with Nichole about his history in the arts and his efforts to bring Broadway talent up from the Big Apple to perform in Central Massachusetts. He also has details about the first performance as part of the program: five-time Tony winner Laura Benanti.
