June Live Cast – Episode 2
Featuring Former Fall River Mayor William Flanagan
Hosted by Bobby Couto & Co-Host David Sousa

On this powerful episode of the June Live Cast, Bobby Couto and co-host David Sousa sit down with former Fall River Mayor William Flanagan for one of the most compelling conversations we've had to date.

After surviving a brutal stabbing that nearly claimed his life, Flanagan opens up about his remarkable road to recovery, the physical and emotional challenges he faced, and the mindset that helped him fight his way back. Today, healthier and stronger than ever, he shares an inspiring story of resilience, determination, and perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Beyond his recovery, William discusses his current role as owner of Cosmopolitan Dispensary, his continued connection to the Fall River community, and what the future may hold—including hints that he may once again have his sights set on the Mayor's Office.

This is more than a political conversation. It's a story about survival, second chances, leadership, and the power of refusing to quit.

If you've ever faced obstacles, setbacks, or moments that tested your strength, this episode is for you.

Show Description

🎙️ May Live Cast: Episode 1 — From the Firehouse to the Mic with Josh Hetzler ("Florian") 🚒🔥

👋 Episode Summary:In the kickoff to our May Live Cast line-up, we sit down with a true Renaissance man of the South Coast: Josh Hetzler, known in the music world as Florian. 🎵

Hosted by Bobby Couto alongside co-host David Sousa, and with Jody Jo running the boards keeping the energy flawless, this episode dives deep into a life defined by service, family, and creative passion. 🎚️✨ Josh opens up about what it was like growing up right here in Fall River—an upbringing that shaped his journey from serving on the local school committee to spending the last 14 years on the line as a dedicated Fall River firefighter. 🧑‍🚒

But public service is only part of the story. Josh pulls back the curtain on his life as a father of eight 👦👧👶 and how he channels his personal experiences, human connection, and a message of unity into a thriving hip-hop career. Taking his artist name from St. Florian—the patron saint of firefighters—he bridges the gap between the firehouse and the recording studio with absolute authenticity. 🎤🎧

Plus, we break up the talk by spinning two of his hit tracks live on air! 📻🎶

🗣️ What We Talk About:

• 🏠 Fall River Roots: Growing up in the city and how the local culture builds character.

• 📋 The Arena of Public Service: What drove Josh to step into the political ring on the School Committee and his 14-year career protecting the city as a firefighter.

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Ultimate Balancing Act: Real talk on managing a chaotic, rewarding life as a father of eight.

• 🎙️ The Birth of Florian: How an upbringing raised on classic rock and a love for sharp wordplay evolved into a serious hip-hop journey.

• 🎵 Music with a Message: The inspiration behind his tracks, dealing with the initial skepticism from the guys at the station, and breaking down the two hit songs featured in today’s episode.

April Live Cast Episode 2 — Marcel Riley | Mae’s Playground

In this powerful episode of The Bobby Couto Show April Live Cast, Bobby Couto is joined by co-host rapper Ya Boi Loco, with Jody Jo on the boards, for a heartfelt conversation with Marcel Riley, the founder and driving force behind Mae’s Playground.

Inspired by his daughter Mae-Ella, who is nonverbal and autistic, Marcel began by creating a sensory-friendly play space in his own backyard after his fiancée, Jessica, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung and brain cancer. What started as a father’s act of love has grown into a community mission to help bring a sensory-friendly playground to Fall River, giving children of all abilities a place where they can feel safe, included, and free to play.

Marcel’s story is about more than building a playground. It is about family, purpose, autism awareness, community, and turning pain into something that can help others. Mae’s Playground has been connected to plans for a sensory-friendly playground at Abbott Court in Fall River, inspired by Marcel’s work and vision.

This is the kind of conversation that reminds us why community matters — because sometimes one father’s love can spark a movement.
