Dan Weed of Weed Family Automotive of Concord joined us in studio on Wednesday to talk about the up and downs of the Electric Vehicle industry. We also discussed the improvements that have been made in the emissions coming from cars with internal combustion engines.

Bruins fans are feeling uneasy after yet another overtime shootout loss. Seattle beat the Bruins 4-3 last night and the Bruins went scoreless in the shootout. Should we panic? Listen to our guest host today as The Sports Machine with Slim looks at the Bruins situation from all angles.

On Artful Living today, Jane will have two different non profit organizations on the program.  Our first half will be with Tricia Soule, Executive Director of NH Business Committee for the Arts and our second half hour will be with Deb Jurkoic and Jace Troie who are with Magnify Voices Expressive Art Contest.  Join us as we chat with these local organizations about their upcoming events.

Tuesday we kicked off our monthly visit with the New Hampshire Department of Safety. We were joined by the Department of Safety's Public Information Officer Tyler Dumont. Mr. Dumont discussed the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety's new initiative along and around the portion of Interstate 93 between Boscawen and Plymouth. Also up for discussion, Bill Belichick's future employer and New Hampshire running behind the rest of New England when it comes to charging stations for Electric Vehicles.

This past weekend brought us another OT game for the Bruins. Thats makes 6 out of their last 7 games that have gone to overtime! Slim has done some research on the Bruins and shares it with the audience today! This past weekend also brought us a Celtics victory....along with scary, tough wins by both the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks. The East teams are getting ready for the playoffs. The Sports Machine with Slim catches you up on NBA and NHL news you need to know.

Lots of items to unpack on a Monday with more "Save the 603" talk. Also, Ronna McDaniel will be stepping down soon as Chair of the GOP, Raffy Devers says the Red Sox need to make more moves and we had our weekly chat with Hockey East guru, John Leahy.

Today's episode of The Sports Machine with Slim has a familiar sound to it: Which team is going to go farther in the playoffs this year - The Bruins or The Celtics? Everybody was asking this question last season. We know the answer back then was the Celtics. What will the answer be for this year? Most New England fans are going to answer The Celtics because they have lost confidence in the Bruins come playoff time. The Sports Machine with Slim is here to tell you: That is a soft take. Listen to today's New Hampshire's Next Generation Sports Talk Show to find out why.

It's Friday, which means the Friday Fun Bunch is in the WKXL Studios! Ken Cail interviews Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental and Kitty Rae the OFFICIAL “Flick Chick."

Austin17House is a youth and family community center located in the heart of Rockingham County in New Hampshire. Lindsey Messina is the Executive Director at Austin17House and she joins us on this WKXL Spotlight to let people know about some of the great resources and activities that are available to kids in the area. As we listen to Lindsey speak, we can't help but ask ourselves: "Are we doing all that we can to try to help other people?" When you do something nice for one person, that can start a chain reaction that results in helping tens or hundreds or even thousands of other people. The people who volunteer their time at Austin17House are doing what they can to make a difference. We are proud to put the WKXL Spotlight on them today!

I could have titled the article "Told Ya So". Yesterday on The Sports Machine with Slim, I accurately predicted a Bruins victory in Edmonton last night. But I figure maybe it is best not to be too arrogant as I revel in the team's victory. The Boston Bruins are going to give us a tremendous playoff run this year. I have been saying it for weeks, and a game like this one makes me even more positive that I am correct. The Bruins best players are coming through at the biggest moments. Charlie McAvoy has done it two games in a row now. He netted the overtime game winner last night vs Edmonton. And it was Charlie who put in a goal to win in the shootout vs Dallas on the final game of the homestand. He is playing absolutely top-level hockey right now. David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand both scored goals last night, continuing a trend of them both scoring big goals in big games. Our top end talent is coming through consistently. They will continue this trend right through the playoffs. Write it down and remember I said it.
