December 9, 2025: 6 amicus markets...

It’s not technically winter, but it definitely looks like it, and in Amherst that means a new market is bringing fresh produce, carefully crafted artisan goods and more to the Bangs Center. The Amherst Farmer’s Market has officially started staying open to the public through the end of the year and we’ll chat with market manager David Machowski about his almost 4 decade tenure, and the wintery future of one of the more popular and populated Farmers Markets in the area. We’ll also meet someone who made their own way in the music Industry with accapella music that has grown to be much more. The renowned 10 time Grammy winning vocal group Take 6 comes to Springfield this Thursday, Dec. 11th to perform at the Hope Center for the Arts, and we speak with founding member Claude McKnight about the groups’ history, present, and aspirations. Plus look who got his book in an amicus brief! It’s professor Ousmane Power-Greene of Clark University! So we’ll look at the parts that got quoted, the context of the suit it is a part of, and the possible repercussions of the decisions that will follow, all of which pertain to birthright citizenship for another power of history.
