Professional football players aren't the only athletes taking a knee -- a local girls' volleyball team is joining in on the protest. Why are they participating in the controversial movement? Big fires aren't keeping up Boston's fire chief at night. Instead, he's more worried about cancer affecting first responders. How are firefighters attempting to protect themselves against cancer? And seat belts on school buses: Do they actually make kids safer or could they be a liability? All that and more on this week's local news roundtable! Guests: Seth Daniel, senior reporter for the Independent News Group; Mike Deehan, Massachusetts Statehouse reporter for WGBH News; and Lauren Dezenski, reporter for Politico Massachusetts and editor of Politico's Massachusetts Playbook.
