Interim DA Kelley Hodge / what is boredom?
Listen 00:49:00
Guests: Kelley Hodge, Mary Mann
Interim district attorney of Philadelphia KELLEY HODGE joins Marty at the top of the hour today. The former city prosecutor is completing the second term of former DA Seth Williams, who resigned last month and plead guilty in a federal corruption case. We’ll hear what she has to say about the city’s DA office, and about what she plans to accomplish in her brief five month term. Then, we switch gears and have a very not-boring talk about being bored! We’re joined by MARY MANN, author of Yawn, about what makes something boring, what it means to be bored, and the pros and cons of feeling bored.
