It's only when the pandemic forces her to slow down that she realizes the beauty in giving attention to each moment, rather than always thinking about the next five things. Years after Meredith's mom passes away, she emulates the way she lived her life, and finds that leaning into simple routines unlocks a surprising feeling of euphoria.Each episode of Meditative Story combines the emotional pull of first-person storytelling with immersive music and gentle mindfulness prompts.

(0:00) Chris Gasper of The Boston Globe joins the guys to open the third hour of the show discussing Alex Cora’s lineup management. (13:31) Gasper discusses what he likes from the Patriots so far in their OTA practices. (21:21) Gasper shares his thoughts on the NBA Finals. (29:16) Callers weigh in on an Agenda Free Friday.

Christian chats with Chris Price from The Boston Globe about mandatory minicamp this past week from the Patriots and describes the situations involving players kind of testing head coach Mike Vrabel in his first practices as HC.

HR 2 - Minicamp is over for the Patriots and Arcand has all eyes on the players and their comments about the vibes surrounding practice; mostly from Mike Vrabel. What kind of part does Jerod Mayo play in the judgment of Mike Vrabel's first season as head coach in New England? Then, Chris Price from The Boston Globe joins the show to further the Patriots' discussion and explains a potential strategy Stefon Diggs is employing while he recovers from his knee injury. And, everyone getting in a pinch about Hunter Dobbins' apparently now fabricating comments about not playing for the Yankees should not matter; he doesn't want to play in New York is all that should matter.

Award-winning journalist and bestselling author Rachel Slade spoke to me about majoring in “New York,” killing her darlings, and the future of manufacturing in her latest book MAKING IT IN AMERICA.

It is described as “a deeply personal and eye-opening journey into the fight to bring ethical manufacturing back to the U.S.” A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Pick in Business and Economics, The Washington Post called it “Persuasively argue[d] . . . Slade's book gives a granular sense of just how hard it is for business owners, particularly those in manufacturing, to do the right thing by their workers in America today.” Rachel also spent a decade in the city magazine trenches at Boston—first as the design editor, ultimately as executive editor.

On the evening of May 10, 1988, a passing driver on Howard Street in Brockton, MA, stopped to investigate something unusual on the side of the road. When the driver got closer to what they thought was a bag, they realized it was actually the body of twenty-four-year-old Anthony LoConte, bleeding badly from injuries to his face and head.Initially, investigators believed LoConte was the victim of a hit-and-run accident; however, when the coroner examined the body, he discovered a bullet hole in the back of LoConte's head, indicating that he'd been murdered.It took twelve years for investigators to track down LoConte's killer, but in the winter of 2000, California Highway Patrol arrested Robert Morganti on drug charges and a quick background check connected them to a 1988 warrant for Morganti for the murder of Anthony LoConte. Robert Morganti was extradited back to Massachusetts, where he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for LoConte's murder. However, due to a controversial 2024 law concerning life sentences for young offenders, Robert Morganti could be granted parole in the near future.Consider signing the petition by visiting https://www.change.org/p/help-uncle-tony-uphold-mandatory-life-sentences-in-massachusetts-bill-s942 .Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesBoston Globe. 1988.
