On Today's show:

- Margareth Dalcolmo, doctor, pulmonologist, professor and clinical researcher for the Public Health National School of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), talks about the public health crisis in Brazil, as COVID overwhelms the country and political leadership is widely viewed as ineffective, and shares the status of her institution's research on vaccines.
- New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.
- James Martin, SJ, a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, consultor to the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication, and author of Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone (HarperOne, 2021), talks about celebrating a second pandemic Easter.
