Cellist Yo-Yo Ma and co-founder of The Peace Studio Maya Soetoro discuss the link between music and peace and explain how sound gives physical comfort in times of trouble.  And our Hari Sreenivasan speaks to Andy Slavitt, former acting administrator of the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, about his new podcast "In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt" and why he thinks that trust is key to turn the tide on America’s battle with Covid-19.
