WBZ NewsRadio's Chaiel Schaffel reports. 

Dan and Ellen talk with Carlene Hempel and Harrison Zuritsky. Carlene, a journalism professor at Northeastern, recently led a reporting trip to Flint, Michigan. Harrison and other students produced a stunning internet magazine called Flint Unfiltered that takes a deep dive into the causes and effects of Flint's economic downturn and toxic water crisis. Since 2009, Carlene has been leading students on reporting trips, where they work as part of a traveling press corps. She has taken groups to many countries, including Egypt, Syria, Cuba and Panama. Harrison, a second-year student with concentrations in journalism and data science, joined her on the Flint trip.  Like so many at Northeastern, Carlene has a background that includes academic achievement as well as wide-ranging professional experience. She has been a professor for 20 years and holds a PhD from Northeastern. She also started her career writing for The Middlesex News in Framingham, now The MetroWest Daily News, and The Boston Globe. She then moved to North Carolina, where she worked for MSNBC and The Raleigh News & Observer. Dan has Quick Take from Maine. The former owner of the Portland Press Herald is going to have three of his weekly papers printed at the Press Herald's facility in South Portland, giving a boost to the National Trust for Local News. And he's also followed through on a plan to open a café at one of his weeklies in a unique effort to boost civic engagement. Ellen weighs in on a new study of local news by our friend of the pod, Professor Joshua Darr at Syracuse University. Darr teamed up with three other researchers to do a meta analysis of surveys on media trust. They made a number of findings, but the headline is that Americans trust local newsrooms more than national news outlets. This is especially true if the local news outlet has the actual name of the community in its title. But there's a downside: that automatic trust also allows pink slime sites to take hold.

In this episode the Ski Moms sit down with Sascha Mayer, co-founder of Mamava to discuss how their innovative lactation pods are making ski resorts more accessible for breastfeeding mothers. Sascha shares her journey from snowboarding enthusiast to entrepreneur, explaining how her experience with Burton Snowboards inspired Mamava's distinctive pod design. The conversation covers the practical features of Mamava pods, their presence at ski resorts like Stowe and Bridger Bowl, and the broader implications for family support in the ski industry. Sascha emphasizes the importance of customer advocacy in driving positive change and envisions a future where ski resorts comprehensively support families, from convenient parking to childcare to lactation spaces. The episode provides valuable insights for both ski resorts aiming to become more inclusive and families seeking better accommodations.Keep up with the latest from Mamava:Website: MamavaInstagram: @mamava_vtFacebook: www.facebook.com/MamavaApp: mamava-breastfeed-on-the-go/id901989849Shop Skida's spring collection here and save 25% with code SkiMomsDay25 at Skida.com Loam Pass is the premier North American mountain biking pass.

It's Friday! Sam and Emma welcome Heather 'Digby' Parton back to the program for a look at another very busy week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on HHS' mass firings, Dem lawmakers' demand for the release of the abducted Tufts student, Trump's tariffs, Trump's targeting of Smithsonian over “ideology”, the Senate GOP's love for overdraft fees, HUD's wage theft, Judge Boasberg's disciplining of the Trump Administration, the scrapping of Elise Stefanik's UN role, Elon Musk's attempt to buy out the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, and Trump's executive order to cancel union contracts, also touching on Schumer's absurd messaging campaign in the wake of his budget capitulation, and watching Elise Stefanik grapple with her scrapped promotion live. Digby then joins, as she, Sam, and Emma dive right into the genuine danger between the lines of absurdity in the Trump Administration's Signal scandal, from the clear sign that they're moving away from official (documented) channels to the executive role being played by psycho-White nationalist Stephen Miller. After expanding on the horrifying aesthetic role Donald Trump is playing in the administration, and the tightening of the inner circle in Trump 2.0, Parton reflects on the genuine shock over how quickly US institutions folded to the threat of fascism, from Columbia to corporations to major law firms, and tackles the deliberate nature of the Trump Administration's agenda of economic chaos, before wrapping up by touching on the few remaining levers of power Democrats have to push back against fascism. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch as the Trump Cabinet take various unique paths to avoid any questions about the ongoing Signal Scandal, Marco Rubio unpacks exactly why due process doesn't matter, and Josh Hawley goes insane over the right to disappear student activists. They also dive into some recent controversy on the left and why playing Dave Rubin's games with you Dave Rubin's prizes, and talk with Vitor from Framingham about political conversations with right-wingers, plus, your calls and IMs!

Eliyokim Cohen grew up a proud Jew, first in Framingham, Massachusetts, and then in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a solid upbringing, but things started to go sideways for Eliyokim in college. Eventually, he found himself with 35 police weapons pointing at him after a 45-minute car chase. Something clearly needed to change. And change it did, as Eliyokim began a journey that led to him sitting with me on his Netanya porch with a view of the Mediterranean Sea, talking about his Aliyah.

Founded in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1968, the Sudbury Valley School has been championing non-coercive, self-directed, democratic education for decades, and has inspired the growth of dozens of Sudbury-model schools around the world. If you're a frequent listener to the podcast, you know that three of my children attend SVS, which is a low-cost, secular, private school located about 45 minutes outside of Boston. My guest today is Mikel Matisoo, who joined the staff at Sudbury Valley School in 1988 after a brief stint as a public school teacher in New York City. His children graduated from SVS and his grandchildren now attend the school, which continues to challenge students, teachers, parents, and policymakers to think differently about education. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly LiberatED e-newsletter on education trends at fee.org/liberated.

Heather is from Roswell, Georgia, not a typical ski hub, but her family has made skiing a tradition. They started taking ski trips to Utah when Heather was first married, and now bring their 4 kids (ages 5-10) on ski trips every year.Heather shares some great tips for outfitting the family on a budget, using Costco and consignment gear. To make meals easy and affordable, the family stays in condos and uses grocery delivery services. Heather's in-laws often join the trips, creating awesome multi-generational memories on the slopes. Heather encourages families to dive into ski trips, highlighting the benefits that go well beyond just skiing.After a day on the slopes, the family enjoys cozy time together playing card games and board games like Uno, and Pass the Pig. Heather and her husband unwind with a glass of wine while the kids play. We loved Heather's positive attitude and adaptability are key to successful family ski trips. Getting the whole family, including grandparents, invested in the ski tradition has created lasting memories. And family meals and games in the condo make for quality family time off the slopes.Resources:Keep up with the Latest from Heather!Website: https://makinghomehere.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/makinghomehereVisit Ski Haus in Woburn, Framingham, or Salem, NH, or go to skihaus.com.

Kikkan shares her personal story, from her shocking diagnosis just months after her Olympic triumph to the resilience and strength she discovered during her treatment.Kikkan offers valuable advice for women on how to prioritize their health while managing busy lives, and the ways her experience has changed how she approaches life as a mom, athlete, and advocate.Each year, over 280,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States alone. Here are three key things you can do to help:Get screened regularly. Early detection is crucial. Schedule your mammograms and encourage your friends and family to do the same. The earlier breast cancer is found, the more treatable it is.Know your body. Stay in tune with any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, pain, or skin changes. Trust your instincts and seek medical advice if something feels off.Support each other. If a friend or loved one is going through a breast cancer diagnosis, be there for them.

Lenore works both 1:1 and with groups addressing a wide range of needs in both the professional and personal realms.We always start with our guest's ski origin story and  Lenore's started skiing as a teen was a challenging first time on snow. Now as an adult, Lenore embraces skiing on her own terms, not focusing on constant improvement or keeping up with anyone else. We learn about Lenore's career path and her career pivot from corporate communications to full-time coaching and mindfulness work. Lenore explains that coaching is about asking questions, challenging assumptions, and empowering clients to find their own solutions.In her practice Lenore uses a variety of techniques that she thinks can also apply on the slopes, for example she explained how mindfulness techniques like focused breathing can help skiers manage fear and anxiety on the mountain. Additionally, visualization and breaking down challenges into smaller steps can also boost confidence on the slopes. Perfect ski day for Lenore involves sunny weather, crowd-free slopes, and enjoying at her own pace. We loved learning about what a coach can offer us in both our personal and professional lives. Keep up with the Latest from Lenore:Website: https://www.thismomentum.com (sign up her her weekly newsletter)Visit Ski Haus in Woburn, Framingham, or Salem, NH, or go to skihaus.com.
