BBC World Service - Boston Calling, Talk to Me

“I personally consider Russia to be a threat to many American national interests.”

Michael McFaul, a former US ambassador to Russia, gives his take on the upcoming Trump-Putin summit. 

Also: we meet indigenous language interpreters helping migrants detained on the US-Mexico border make their cases for asylum; we look at global projects to combat loneliness, from dance parties in the Netherlands, to a newspaper for people cut off from society in Japan, to new research being conducted in Utah. We close out with a love song composed by a whale. Yes, for real.
