Bostopia News

I go through the history of White Stadium and why I support the proposed partnership with the NWSL.

I interview Stephanie Rosario Rodriguez, Senior Director of Programs for Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition about the state of immigration here in Massachusetts

I look at the surprising announcement by Councilor Murphy that she is running for Clerk of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and first have to figure out what this is and does it even matter?

I look at the rise of John Francis "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald, the Progressive Movement that went after the spoils system here in Boston, and why the State House controls our liquor.

This is Part 2, go back to the previous episode for this to make sense!

To answer the question of why Boston needs to go begging to the statehouse to increase our liquor licenses you need to know A LOT of history, which I provide for you!

Irish immigration, the Know Nothings, Eugentics, Disease, Alcohol, the Kennedys, this one has it all! Definitely a part 1 of who knows how many.

I look through a recent Suffolk poll to get into the mind of the Massachusetts voter.... and it's horrifying.

I am joined by 3 parents from the John D. O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science to discuss Wu's plans to relocate the school to West Roxbury.

How to get involved:

I look back on the events leading up to Ed Flynn's trip to Israel and what "lessons" he took away from it.

I look through the ward/precinct data in the past election to answer the question, "Did the Anti-Vax candidates have any political relevancy?" and spoiler alert but no, they did not. (still listen to the episode though!)

However, I did pick up on an alarming trend about Erin Murphy that I am not too thrilled with...

I interview Executive Director Ruby Reyes from the Boston Education Justice Alliance on Mayor Wu's plans for BPS. Is it that different from Mayor Walsh? What does the McKinsey consulting firm have to do with it?
