The Russian punk performance art activists Pussy Riot comes to Boston. We chat with two of its members about Vladimir Putin, prison, and fugitive US intelligence analyst Edward Snowden. Plus, we learn why the United States and Europe are so far apart on climate policy. And, we meet two young Central American migrants who are facing a new challenge—starting school in the US. Also on this edition, we look at the push to get Muslim holidays on the school calendar in New York City. We hear from the American puppeteers who received a standing ovation in Tehran. And, we have a review the Ig Nobel Cookbook, Volume I. (Photo: Nadezhda Tolokonnikova (left) and Maria Alyokhina. Courtesy of Pussy Riot)
