Nightside News Update 1/19/26

We began the program with four interesting guests on topics we think you should know more about!

It’s MLK Day! Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Baptist minister and leader of the American Civil Rights Movement who fought against segregation and racial injustice. He earned his PhD in systematic theology from BU‘s School of Theology in 1955 and donated his papers to the University – Hendrickson talked about MLK and their collection.
Guest: Ryan Hendrickson, Assist. Dir. for Manuscripts at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University

We’ve been told for years to prioritize low-fat dairy, but now RFK Jr. has flipped the food pyramid to emphasize whole milk and full fat dairy – Is this in our best interest? Dr. Mozaffarian explained.
Guest: Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, cardiologist and director of the Food Is Medicine Institute at Tufts University

The interest in therapeutic communities appears to be growing among U.S. healthcare providers, and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is encouraging the creation of more "healing farms" across the country for people struggling with substance use. Shawn’s addiction treatment “farm” happened quite by accident, and he’s glad it did!
Guest: Shawn Hayden, President/CEO of the Gardner Athol Area Mental Health Association

A new trend is on the rise for Gen Z men – it’s called “Trad Son” or “Hub-Son”: a stay-at-home-son who chooses to live with their parents, often rent-free, and take on domestic responsibilities typically associated with stay-at-home partners. **One man quit his $190K job to become a stay-at-home son. Is this a healthy trend? What are the drawbacks / benefits psychologically – and how to do parents who don’t approve of this trend effectively handle a trad son?
Guest: Dr. Sanam Hafeez, Founder and Director of Comprehend the Mind
