1:00: 'Sex & (love &) the CITY'
What is it like to document Russia's war on Ukraine...in Ukraine? Our WXXI colleague Mikhail Gershteyn is in his native country, covering the latest on the ground. From partial blackouts to missile and drone attacks, he joins us from Khmelnytskyi to give us a firsthand look at the war and how it's affecting Ukrainians. Our guests:

Then in our second hour, let's talk about sex. And love. And CITY (Magazine). The February issue of CITY focuses on love in different forms: self-love; friendship; and romantic love, from dating to marriage. We're joined by the CITY team to discuss our community's love for food, culture, and more. Our guests:
