I’m so happy that I found a podcast specifically focusing on politics in Boston! I love what I’m learning so far. Great interviews - thank you for producing this content!
I’ve been a Scrum listener for years (and three-time guest). I really like the guys who do the show, and that it is both a serious political podcast, but isn’t stuffy or boring. (But let me say I think stuffy and boring people would really respect the work.)
I also like their background music a lot. I kind of want that as a ringtone.
The Scrum covers all things #mapoli. You can’t claim to be up on the news until you’ve heard it!
Mike Deehan’s 3 January episode brings clarity to the way legislation moves, or not, through the State House. It may not be unusual compared to other State Houses, but that doesn’t mean we should put up with it. Too much power over legislation lies in the hands of the Speaker, this needs to change as the system is ripe for corruption.The euphemism “they ran out of time” is maddening.
This is a great podcast to keep on top of what is going on here in Boston. They cover all the big issues and it doesn't hurt that many of them are former Boston Phoenix reporters. Adam is a polished interviewer and Peter always brings an interesting perspective.
