Boston and Michelin stars: what took so long?

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.

How a singing state treasurer launched the greatest lottery in the US | Scratch & Win, Part 2

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.
