Special episode today: Chris is sharing the first of what will hopefully be a series of field interviews he recorded at what sounds like a very special bluegrass festival he attends every years. While it’s not Worcester related per se I think listeners will find that the interview hits on many of the themes around community, atomization and belonging we love to hit over and over on this program.
In keeping with the heavy-then-light format of the show, this segment appears toward the end, at the 59 minute mark.
Before that, we talk about the only thing in Worcester politics really worth talking about at the moment: the manager’s decision to abandon his pursuit of a civilian review board. Catch up on that news here and here and on the Worcester Sucks Instagram you’ll find three compilation reels of public comment I worked pretty hard on.
I have a substantial “print” post in the works about where we stand on that front. It’s almost done. Stay tuned!
