NightSide With Dan Rea
NightSide focuses on a wide variety of issues, political, economic and social. Rea believes that talk radio is the best way for people to communicate their opinions and ideas on what he calls “North America’s Virtual Back Porch.” Rea encourages challenging conversations and diverse ideas combined with respect and tolerance for the opinion of others. But don’t think for a moment that NightSide is anything but provocative, always interesting and at times, passionate and emotional. 642427

The timing of final passage of the revised package remains unc...

Many health experts say that freedom of expression of oneself is good for public health and personal wellbeing. However, today as much as 84% of Americans believe that self-censorship due to the fear of retaliation (like cancel culture, job termination, ostracization) is a "very serious" or "somewhat serious" problem. Do you feel comfortable speaking your mind freely today? We were joined by Dr. Chloe Carmichael, a clinical psychol...

We discussed what one local cyclist and journalist in Boston calls, the now, “congested mass of mechanization” in Boston’s bike lanes. While Mayor Wu and the city of Boston created space for cyclists in Boston, that space seems to be overcrowded with motorized vehicles like e-bikes, mopeds, and electric shooters (many of which are used for food delivery). Paul Basken is a local writer, journalist and cyclist who b...
