THIS WEEK IN THE MONADNOCK REGION...

We're back—not because we have to be, but because you want us to be. Join Chris and Zoë as they navigate a world that insists on excellence. Chris promises to delay his sharper critiques; he'll hold off, but only until we've covered what truly matters.

Tonight, we delve into:

* The vital importance of your voice in the 'Choice Awards,' casting your vote for diVINE on Main. It’s not just a choice—it's a statement.

* Charlie Chronopoulos, crafting the hits you love and collaborating with legends like Chris Stapleton—because to aim high is to hit high.

* Chris issues a rare, genuine apology to Del Rossi's Trattoria, recognizing a classic when he sees it.

* Children OF THE ARTS Day, a celebration of the unsung heroes of our skies—the birds. Join us, because sometimes the smallest voices make the loudest echo.

* A nostalgic trip to our 90s-Themed Night Market. Submit your stories, reignite the past.

* The announcement of William Mullen's novel 'Anywhere But Here'—because the right words can take you anywhere.

* A prelude to our Town Meeting debate on May 1. Be there—because decisions are made by those who show up.

* And, as promised, Chris will unleash his famed tirades. After all, every show needs a grand finale.

Tune in to Episode 64 of 'GoMo Tonight.' We’re not just making noise; we’re making history."

EPISODE 63 - JFK WALKS INTO A MARKET BASKET w/ SPECIAL GUEST MIKE JACKMAN

November 22 marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. For nearly three quarters of Americans today, questions still remain. To remember this infamous anniversary and open space for these questions to be asked and discussed, Monadnock Underground is teaming up with OTHER local podcast Jackman Radio for 60 Years of the Unspeakable, a film screening and discussion forum at the Peterborough Town Library 1833 Room THIS FRIDAY 11/17, from 7-10 pm.

Mike Jackman of Jackman Radio joins us to talk the event, the assassination, working at the Rindge Market Basket, the surprising wonders of Brookline, NH, and why conscience is still cool.

THIS WEEK in the Monadnock Region:

Our brief absence made it so that there's now a million things to talk about:

* Did a former select board member start a wildfire?

* Did a PES student torch the house across from Alltown as an act of kindness?

* Were you at the secret VIP Harlow's Last Hurrah Dance Party?

* TOWN MEETING: Select Board Showdown and Planning Board Melee (!!!!)

If you don't like the sound quality, that's because this was NOT produced by Sound Lord Chad Patterson of Studio 117. That's our fault. But GO TO Studio 117 - www.studio117.net/ - for ALL your mixing, mastering, and recording needs in 2022 AND BEYOND. He is a hero. PLUS he's got a band now and you can BOOK THEM: www.facebook.com/DownByTen/ AND wear their GEAR and emulate them with their GUITAR PICKS: www.zazzle.com/store/downbytenmerch

THIS WEEK in the Monadnock Region:

We dedicate a full episode to issues related to the election nobody goes to (in Peterborough, at least) -- the CONVAL SCHOOL BUDGET AND BOARD VOTES (next Tuesday, 3/14)

* Controversial (but reasonable) views abound

* Why isn't there any good info online?

* Why isn't there any good info in the paper (what paper?)

* The Great Question all candidates should answer (even if we don't have time to ask them)

* Administrative bloat

* Does anyone want us to vote in this election? (big shrug emoji)

* Does New Hampshire have more freedom than Massachusetts?

* Even if we can't reduce the budget, are there ways the school district can contribute to the public good? (yes)

* How people should win elections

* We are gonna be better than other places (whether we like it or not)

THIS WEEK in the Monadnock Region....

We have a lot to talk about.

(And sorry about the intro music, we're still figuring this out.)

* This episode was recorded during the Great Deep Freeze of 2023 (that whole thing probably our bad karma from trash talking Europe a couple episodes ago)

* Old news, but we recap the Library and Rec Committee presentations before the joint Select Board and Budged Committee (SELECTBUD) (great presentations honestly, and some of the questions asked were weird; come on, let's not squeeze people)

* This leads to a deep discussion about the nature and ideology around public goods and services (if you want to raise money, Cunningham Pond should sell hot dogs)

* Businesses changing hands - Brady's AND Toadstool (sadly we recorded this before the more recent rumors)

* Does anybody have any stories about "The Wreck Room", Ancient Peterborough's heavy metal club? (the recent past of this place, for those of us not born here, is so mysterious)

* Why is that one festival scheduled, again, for that one day? (Mean-spirited, lacking in good will)

* Other businesses are asserting their RIGHTS (the maple syrup KINGPIN'S EMPORIUM and the bona fide fake Instagram farm)

* We are soon gonna have a call-in show -- LIVE (stay tuned for details)
