This story was originally published in November of 2024 ... just months before the news that Michelin IS coming to Boston. In this episode we explore how a French tire company became the first name in dining excellence. And we hear from chefs and restaurateurs – including Rachel Miller of Lynn’s Nightshade Noodle Bar, Will Gilson of Cambridge’s Puritan and Company and Nancy Cushman of Boston’s o ya – to learn why this area’s been shut out when it comes to those coveted stars, and whether that might ever change.

When states got into the gambling business, they wanted the same thing organized crime wanted: money and power. The question now is who in government will get to wield that awesome power? That story begins in 1972, when a power struggle in the Massachusetts State House places the new Lottery in hands of a self-described political rogue: Robert Crane. We hear from state representatives and senators who were there when the votes were cast, including State Senator Ed Burke and State Representative Marty Linsky. We also hear from Crane’s daughter Mary Lou, and from his longtime friend, the advertising titan Jack Connors, about what made this man such a uniquely powerful figure.

Is it actually safe to once again swim in the famed dirty water of Boston’s Charles River? The waters and land surrounding the Quinobequin – possibly meaning "meandering" in Massachusett from quinnuppe or "it turns" – have been used and cared for by Pawtucket peoples and the Massachusett and Wampanoag tribal nations for generations. In the 1600s the river was dubbed the Charles by the English after then-prince and future King of England, Charles I. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it was used by people for everything from fishing to industrial power, recreation to bathing. And as a dumping ground for all kinds of waste. By the 1950s – at a time when there was deep inequities when it came to who had access to water in Greater Boston – it had become so dangerously polluted, it was not safe for people to be in contact with the water.
