    BPR Full Show 5/8/26: The Return of "Neighborism"

    Ahead of Mother’s Day, we open the phone lines to hear what the holiday means to you. It can be a celebration, or more complicated. Or, just an excuse to get brunch. How do you make time to connect with the women in your life? Then, The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols on the U.S. attempted oil blockade in Iran. And violinist and disability advocate Gaelynn Lea performs for Live Music Friday.  NBC10 Boston's Sue O’Connell delivers the real news from the Met Gala, and discusses how Lowell residents are the first to put up a battle against data centers.

    [Unedited] Gaelynn Lea with Krista Tippett

    Gaelynn Lea’s voice and violin land like a balm — an offering of both clarity and gladness that can still be mustered in this midwinter, this upended Christmas season. She first came to the attention of many when she won NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2016. This fiddler and singer-songwriter moves through the world in an electric wheelchair, and plays the violin like a cello because of the disability she was born with — a genetic condition that has made her bones more breakable. So much of what she’s learned through life in her body lands as wisdom, right now. Gaelynn Lea -- is a violinist and singer-songwriter from Duluth, Minnesota. Her albums include All the Roads that Lead Us Home, Learning How to Stay, and most recently, The Living Room Sessions: Gaelynn Lea LIVE. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “Gaelynn Lea’s Voice and Violin.” Find the transcript for that show at onbeing.org.
