Candidate for District 1 Boston City Council Tania Del Rio joins me for I believe my first interview with a candidate for office. I also have interviewed Gabriela "Gigi" Coletta (recorded before this release and will be out early next week). 

I am back with District 6 city councilor Kendra Lara! Go through her back story, what she faced on the campaign trail, and what we can hope to see from her on the council. I also included her maiden speech in case you missed it!

After hundreds of episodes, I am closing down the "Boston Local News in under 8mins" daily segment. Will release a weekly episode with The Council, Wu Watch, Deep Dives, and Community Conversations. 

I am joined by Tori Bedford from GBH to discuss her coverage of Mass and Cass. If you would like to have a conversation shoot me a DM!

Alex Jones? Natural Medicine? Ohio? This episode has it all. I start with covering the recent Boston city council hearing and what begins with a strange tweet leads me down the right-wing rabbit hole. I explore the connection of the Boston First Responders United to a national organization being led by a "Doctor" from Ohio who is coordinating lawsuits across the country. 

Correction: I used the word "literally" in the wrong way when I described Pam's company's mission at the end. I Meant figuratively.
