|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9/2/26 | Boston baked beans with Amy Traverso (Rewind) | There’s a reason they call it “Beantown.” In this week’s rerun, Yankee Magazine food editor Amy Traverso takes us through the history of this iconic food — and explains why its place on the Mount Rushmore of local cuisine might be in jeopardy. | — | ||||||
| 8/26/26 | Boston Movie Club: Fever Pitch (Rewind) | In this Boston Movie Club REWIND, we’re talking about Fever Pitch, the 2005 romcom starring Jimmy Fallon, Drew Barrymore, and the 2004 Red Sox. Joining me to dig into this divisive film is Tyler Rotman, who you might remember from EBtM: The 2004 Red Sox. We talk about Fallon as a leading man, the last-minute script changes, and why some locals loathe this movie. | — | ||||||
| 8/19/26 | Gillette Stadium and the economics of sports in Boston with Victor Matheson | In this episode, we're talking with economics professor Victor Matheson about the history of Gillette Stadium and Boston's aversion to stadium funding more broadly. The conversation touches on Fenway, the new ballpark in Worcester, Robert Kraft's new Revs home, and the one public stadium project the city IS funding. | — | ||||||
| 8/12/26 | Thoreau, Emerson, Fuller and the Transcendentalists with Peter Wirzbicki | On this episode, we're talking about an intellectual movement that changed the world — and was born right here in the Boston area. From Walden Pond to "Self-Reliance" to one of the first great feminist thinkers, Transcendentalism produced enduring literature and revolutionary ideas. Princeton professor Peter Wirzbicki is here to explain it all. | — | ||||||
| 8/5/26 | What your New England summer destination says about you with Zach Remi | We're joined by Zach Remi aka @new_england_dad to talk about what your New England summer vacation says about you. From Maine to Martha's Vineyard, New Hampshire to Cape Cod, we're parsing the delights, drawbacks and expectations of iconic local warm-weather destinations. | — | ||||||
| 7/29/26 | Boston in the 1970s with Joseph Nevins | We're talking with Joseph Nevins, a professor and co-author of 'A People's Guide to Greater Boston,' about this seminal decade in Boston history. From busing to the Bicentennial to the Vault, the 1970s showcased a city in transition. | — | ||||||
| 7/22/26 | Boston coffee culture with Jim Varney of Wavelength Coffee Roasters | We're chatting with Jim Varney about local coffee culture — from Dunkin and Coffee Connection to Keurig and $8 pour-overs. What does it mean that this regional prizes both affordable, utilitarian caffeine delivery AND serves as a hot-bed for java-centric innovation? | — | ||||||
