The Seriousness of Doing Things Well Locally: depression of 1893, dam, pit, ballot glut
About this episode
The episode explores the historical context of 1893 Turners Falls while addressing current local issues and upcoming elections.
In our first episode of the new year, Sarah and Mike acknowledge the overwhelming national and international backdrop of the current moment before diving deep into a different time altogether—1893 Turners Falls. They discuss the special archival section from the New Years Day edition of the paper and answer listener questions about it. Then, back to the present for some bread-and-butter Montague Reporter content: a dam gets undammed and a pit gets filled. Looking at the future, a glut of elections is forecast for this year in Montague. Submit your own question for the editor at podcast@montaguereporter.org!
