Governor Kathy Hochul makes an education budget announcement in Albany.

New York schools will be going back to an old way of teaching reading soon. Connecticut will expand a service to help parents with newborns. Four people have been indicted related to the Babylon body parts case. And transportation is a major roadblock for Connecticut residents seeking addiction treatment.

This episode includes a conversation from Long Story Short, a collaborative podcast from the Connecticut Mirror and WSHU.

Sabrina is host and producer of WSHU’s daily podcast After All Things. She also produces the climate podcast Higher Ground and other long-form news and music programs at the station. Sabrina spent two years as a WSHU fellow, working as a reporter and assisting with production of The Full Story.
