3/27/2019--If you're at all interested in Massachusetts politics, chances are you've seen the hashtag 'mapoli' crop up on Twitter once or twice. Jenn and Steve are back in the bunker to answer the important questions, and top of their minds is this: How do you *pronounce* that hashtag that you see all the time but never say aloud (unless you're Jenn and Steve)?

After a pronunciation is agreed upon, they welcome Rep. Lori Ehrlich. She's introduced legislation that would form a commission to study and address the local news climate in our state--focusing specifically on whether news deserts exist here, and if so, how to go about resolving them.

Matt Szafranski, editor of Western Mass Politics & Insight, drops in to discuss some news coming out of the western neck of the woods, that State Senator Don Humason announced he is joining the race for Mayor of Westfield.
