One Step Closer on Congestion Pricing; More Perfect's New Season; Local Geography; Therapy-Speak in Your Conversations; Summer Arts Roundup: Top Concert Tix!

Coming up on today's show:
- The federal government and the MTA have each issued documents in recent weeks that bring congestion pricing another step closer to going into effect. Stephen Nessen, transportation reporter for the WNYC Newsroom, reports on some of the details that were revealed, including that low-income and taxi drivers will get a break on the toll, how they'll address environmental concerns in The Bronx and the reaction from New Jersey, plus more transportation news.
- Julia Longoria, host of WNYC's More Perfect, talks about the new season of More Perfect, which examines history to help us understand how the Supreme Court of today came to be, including this week's episode on Clarence Thomas.
- Call-in to test your knowledge of local geography—and for a chance to win a prize.
- Love-bombing, attachment styles, holding space. It seems like therapy-speak has trickled into every area of our social lives. From advice about how to navigate a platonic breakup to determining whether an ex is a toxic narcissist, social media has been flooded with bite-sized bits of seemingly therapeutic advice. Listeners call in to share what they think of therapy-speak and how it's affected their relationships.
- With so many not-to-be-missed cultural offerings this summer, Steve Smith, WNYC/Gothamist culture and arts editor, and reporter Precious Fondren share some of the highlights. Today, they preview some of the summer's hottest concerts, from small venues to arenas.
