November 15, 2024: Historical endurance

Today we're making interesting brushes with history. This Saturday at the Great Falls Discovery Center in Turners (Great) Falls, the Nolumbeka Project having a Beaver Moon gathering featuring author Angela Marcellino. Her book "The True Natives of Cape Cod and Their Foodways" explores her own history alongside that of the Mashpee Wanpanoag peoples who have resided in the area for millenia. We talk with her about the links between people, place, and food that create a lasting culture before you can engage with her yourself on November 16th. Live Music Friday brings Jim Hewitt of the Easthampton based Lost Film to the studios. Their wide ranging sound creates sparkly and brooding pop that is catchy but hard to put a finger on. In both cases, it's great for your ears and you can indulge that with the full band at the Dream Away Lodge in Beckett on Nov. 22nd. And our prodigal wine thunderdome returns to the site of its origins when we descent to the basement of State Street Deli, Wine, and Spirits to explore a contested area along the Italian/Austrian border where a super localized grape thrives on the land and in our glasses.
