Billy's News

It's a busy Monday morning as the show returns with a rundown of the top stories. From solidarity walks to sudden passings, and sports to music, this episode has a little something for everyone.

The show kicks off with a look at the nurses' strike in Boston, where healthcare workers are standing up for their rights and the impact it has on the medical community. We also pay tribute to two notable figures who passed away over the weekend, including Senator Lindsey Graham and actress Sam Neill. Plus, the excitement of the World Cup is in full swing, with the final four teams set to face off in the coming days.

The show also touches on the Boston Tall Ships, which are docked in the harbor and attracting massive crowds. And in the world of sports, the Red Sox are on a roll, ending the first half of the season with a nine-game winning streak. We'll also hear about the surprise guests who showed up at Jay-Z's shows over the weekend.

Tune in to hear more about these stories and others, including an update on the Boston concert scene and a chat with Noah Khan about his recent performances.
