February 9, 2026: Los todos juntos

We’re boldly going forward with new projectsThe first of those is an effort to check in on the proverbial health of the 7 cities of Western Mass with a brand new segment, Mayor of the Month.  First up is the newly appointed leader of the Massachusetts Mayors Association, Holyoke mayor Joshua Garcia. We talk about the importance of connection to community with his city's very swift evolution into controlling its own destiny. Mr. Universe, Kainaat Studios and Hampshire College’s Salman Hameed, returns from a significant soft launch in Pakistan to a much divided and divisive United States for the first time in a while, but it’s the ongoing science and new looks at Orion that connect his work to both countries’ current circumstances. And despite the disappointment of yesterday, the true winners of the superb owl were all of us who got to witness the halftime show. We’ll check in about the loss of the patriots, and the incredibly patriotic show put on by Bad Bunny.
