For our last episode of the year, a look back at a few of our top stories from 2023. We start by revisiting our multi-part series, Underage and Unprotected, with the story of a migrant teenager in New Bedford who spent his days juggling a full high school schedule with a full-time job at a seafood processing plant. Also, from our collaboration with Latino oral history project Nuestras Raíces, we hear how Maria Rivera overcame her fear of public speaking to become the first Latina mayor of Central Falls. And finally, we listen to an extended version of our conversation with Abraham Josephine Riesman, author of “Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America.”
