Our very first episode, where in addition to over-excited introductions of ourselves, we chat with Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey about where western Mass. fits in her overall plans, and GZA about why chess is important to his engagement with his fans. We also share some of your thoughts on the ups and downs of life here in the four counties of western Massachusetts.

**Program note: we missed one of our local heroes in the credits, so thank you also to Home Body for the use of their music in our show.
