Coming up on today's show:

• As the New York State legislative sessions ends, several education-related changes are making waves. Jessica Gould, WNYC reporter, reports on bills about class size, parental involvement and more. Plus, she explains the city's plans to shift literacy instruction toward phonics.
• Julia Ioffe, founding partner and Washington correspondent of Puck, discusses the latest news from Ukraine as Russia's invasion drags on, plus what the United States is doing to respond, and how that's landing politically here.
• Benjamin Abramoff, MD, director of the Post-COVID Assessment and Recovery Clinic at Penn Medicine, where he is an assistant professor of Clinical Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, offers more information on the different ways what's called "long COVID" is experienced, from symptoms that last a few weeks, to those that go on much longer.
• The New York Rangers are one game up in the Eastern Conference Final series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Vincent Z. Mercogliano, NY Rangers reporter and NHL analyst for USA Today Sports, which includes LoHud and Northjersey.com, talks about why the team is still a contender for the Stanley Cup, and shares why even non-hockey fans can find something to like watching the Blueshirts.
