Air Date:
Heard On Central Time

Sometimes time seems to fly, and sometimes it feels like it slows to a crawl. We look at the concept of time, and how our perceptions can alter how we experience it. We talk with a WPR reporter as she wraps up a series based on her time spent embedded with the class of new recruits at the Madison police academy. And we’ll talk about the Republican health care plan that could repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
