Berkshire Eagle Podcasts

Here's something about a plague three centuries ago that offers some lessons, and hope, for our current epidemic. Don Morrison, who produces his eponymous Don Morrison Commentary, is an author, lecturer, member of The Berkshire Eagle's Advisory Board, a commentator for NPR's Robin Hood Radio, European editor of the British magazine Port, ex-Time Magazine editor, and a longtime part-time resident of the Berkshires.

Jake Mendel and Mike Walsh of The Berkshire Eagle sports department host a show about local sports, with no local sports. The guys discuss Taconic's Isaac Percy winning Western Mass. player of the year, what should've been an epic state championship weekend and life without sports.

Music for the show comes from Bensound.com.

Don ruminates on the latest attack on the rule of law (be very afraid). Don Morrison, who produces his eponymous Don Morrison Commentary, is an author, lecturer, member of The Berkshire Eagle's Advisory Board, a commentator for NPR's Robin Hood Radio, European editor of the British magazine Port, ex-Time Magazine editor, and a longtime part-time resident of the Berkshires.

Sports editor Geoff Smith joins Jake Mendel in the podcast studio and not a moment too soon. The weather isn't warming up just yet, but the playoff race for Western Massachusetts teams certainly has. Jake rants about the Super Bowl and breakfast foods before Geoff gives us the lowdown on Berkshire County hockey (5:08) and what makes this Wahconah hockey team special. Jake and Geoff then look at the landscape for girls basketball (13:15) as local teams are establishing themselves as the top teams in the county as others hang on for a playoff spot.
