The First Scrum Of The Rest Of Our Lives

<p>A few minutes in, this Scrum becomes a coronavirus-free zone: Peter Kadzis and Adam Reilly take a deep dive into Boston redevelopment with Lizabeth Cohen, the author of “<a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374721602" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age</a>,” which just won the coveted Bancroft Prize for excellence in American history. It’s the first half of their convo with Cohen; you’ll hear the second next week.</p> <p>First, though, Kadzis and Reilly size up the recent performance, in these frightening, unprecedented times, of Governor Charlie Baker and Mayor Marty Walsh. (Spoiler: both get high marks, as does New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. President Donald Trump still has, uh, plenty of room for growth.)</p> <p>One more thing: while we’re always happy to hear from you with suggestions and criticisms, we’d especially like to get your feedback *now. *So we’re urging listeners to use their phones to record and send us voice memos — about what you want from the Scrum moving forward, what you make of #mapoli’s response to the pandemic, and how you and your loved ones are holding up. If you do record, and even if you don’t, email us at <a href="mailto:scrum@wgbh.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">scrum@wgbh.org</a>. Or, as always, find us on Twitter: Peter’s @kadzis, Adam is @reillyadam, and our producer Zoe Mathews is @zoesmathews. Thanks for listening, and be careful out there. </p>
