This week on the Beacon podcast, Ben, Esther and Mike discuss Congressional maneuvering on the pandemic relief package and the breakdown of “bipartisanship.

They also discuss the in-state push to offer a double tax break for companies that profited while receiving PPP loans.

Ben interviews Professor Anya Foxen on her new book, Is This Yoga?

Plus: Esther invites us to some virtual events, including in support of the Raise The Wage Act on Monday, February 8, and Maine Student Action’s campaign kick-off on Sunday, February 23.
