Including a brand new Pride celebration this weekend as Lee prepares to put on its very first Pride events EVER. Although nestled within Berkshire Pride, the southern Berkshires town is putting on its own festivities this Saturday June 14th and we speak with Leah Docktor about the full day of activity, the importance of towns beginning their own Pride traditions

We also have live music THURSDAY with local Kinks inspired band the Muswell Hillbillies who are bringing Tom Petty to life on the Iron Horse Stage this Sunday. The band stops by the studio to relive some of the rock icon’s song glory and hear what's still compelling about his massive catalog. 

And Monte being out of town makes it the perfect time to make our regular guests play games with me, so I sit with Prof Ousmane Power Greene to talk about a crucial moment in American history with my favorite game to casually bring up with people: 6 degrees of the failure of reconstruction.
