Answering your questions about schools reopening

This week, we kick off a weekly discussion about education amid the debate over reopening schools. Bill Radke speaks with KUOW education reporter Ann Dornfeld to get reaction from parents, teachers and learn what precautions schools are taking to keep teachers and students safe for classroom instruction.

Bill Radke talks with Daniel Lieberman, a Harvard University human evolutionary biology professor, about his new book on exercise, an activity that some of us love, others loathe and a lot of us have a hard time committing to doing regularly.
