Podcasts about Somerville

This podcast is a project of Making Peace Visible, is a small 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Somerville, Massachusetts. What we do is unique -- consistently analyzing how the media covers conflict, and amplifying stories of resolution and reconciliation that are often ignored by the mainstream media.  In the month of July, we're working to raise $40,000 to continue and grow this work. With your help, we can fund journalists producing rigorous, underreported stories of conflict transformation through the Making Peace Visible story awards, and convene strategic gatherings of peacebuilders and journalists to shift how stories get told. Your donation also keeps this podcast going and helps us reach more listeners. Make a one-time or recuring gift at makingpeacevisible.org/donate. Our guest this episode is Terrell Jermaine Starr, an independent journalist based in Ukraine. His work focuses on interconnection: how Ukrainian politics and society relates to the rest of the world, especially the United States, Europe, and Africa. In the early days of Russia's full-scale invasion, Starr gained international attention for his up-close-and-personal reporting style, and for helping vulnerable Ukrainians flee the country. And, for being a rare Black American reporter on the ground.  On Starr's podcast, Black Diplomats, and his Substack blog, Terrell provides reporting and analysis on politics in the Ukraine, the United States, and beyond. He pays special attention to equity and discrimination, drawing parallels between Putinism and the MAGA movement in the United States.  Terrel is also a contributor to Foreign Policy magazine, the Washington Post, and MSNBC.MPV digital media producer Andrea Muraskin sat down with Terrell Jermaine Starr on July 3, 2025, just days after his home city of Kyiv was bombarded by Russian missiles and drones.Follow him on X @terrelljstarr ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin.

We're back with another round of Idle Game Chat, and this week things get... weird.We've got thoughts on all sorts — from the medieval madness of Doom: The Dark Ages to the emotional punches of Valiant Hearts: Coming Home. We also take a dive into the strange (How Fish Is Made), the spooky (Castlevania Requiem), and the downright baffling (Mouthwashing). Oh, and Somerville popped up too, so we gave that a go.Then it's time for the big one: our 2024 Game of the Year rundown. Who made the cut, who got snubbed, and which game took the crown? There might be disagreements. There will definitely be waffle.Grab a brew, stick us on, and enjoy some proper game chat.Timestamps:00:00 Intro03:21 Doom: The Dark Ages01:07:07 Valiant Hearts: Coming Home01:39:14 How Fish Is Made01:45:40 Mouthwashing01:56:50 Castlevania Requiem02:26:49 Sommerville03:02:17 Game of the Year 2024

On today's all new cast, we take a look back at the Billboard Modern Rock Chart for this week back on July 4, 1998. We go over all 40 songs on the chart, and how all the tracks on this chart perfectly encapsulated the look and feel of the late 90's era with Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" moving into the #1 spot for the first time, and how it ushered in a whole new era of sonic bliss for many music fans. We encounter such riveting hits like Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta", Fastball's "The Way", Eve 6's "Inside Out", Barenaked Ladies "One Week", and so many other terrific tunes that were a constant presence on our mixtapes way back when. We also discuss how this chart became a haven for many pop-friendly radio hits in the late 90's due to a Billboard chart policy that prevented these songs from charting on the Hot 100 chart simply for the fact that they weren't commercially available as a single. We also play a local song that featured on this chart from Somerville's own Guster called "Airport Song".

Miracles aren't random acts of wonder but purposeful signs pointing us to Jesus Christ. They serve four key purposes: pointing us to Jesus, validating His message, meeting needs through compassion, and building faith in believers. Jesus' first miracle at Cana—turning water into wine—teaches us that miracles follow a pattern: invitation precedes intervention, desperation becomes declaration, obedience opens overflow, and ultimately, miracles magnify the Messiah. The pathway to experiencing miracles in our lives involves inviting Jesus daily, identifying our needs, practicing complete obedience, and sharing our experiences to inspire others.

In a culture where faith is often minimized, fathers are called to courageously live their faith forward. Based on 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, this message outlines four key ways fathers can lead spiritually: by living faith through consistent example, maintaining faith during adversity, standing with unwavering conviction, and demonstrating integrity in all areas of life. The strength of a father isn't measured by how loudly he talks about God, but by how faithfully he walks with God when no one is looking. This creates a legacy that guides future generations toward authentic faith.

In a world of moral confusion and spiritual deception, God's Word serves as our guiding light and moral compass. When society redefines morality, calling evil good and good evil, Christians must stand firm on biblical truth. Romans 1 describes a culture spiraling into darkness, mirroring today's confusion about gender and sexuality. As believers, we are called to be light in this darkness - not silent, but lovingly confronting sin and declaring God's standards. Our ultimate hope isn't in politics or programs but in Jesus Christ, who offers forgiveness and freedom to all who repent.

God's favor is the guarantee of His presence and power to fulfill His purpose in your life—not just material blessings or a trouble-free existence. Unlike favors from God, which are temporary conveniences, true favor means experiencing God's presence, purpose, and power. Biblical examples like Moses and Mary show that favor often comes with challenges, yet includes God's guidance through them. We position ourselves for God's favor through faith and obedience, becoming 'favor finders' who recognize God's blessings even in difficult seasons. The essence of favor isn't what happens to you, but knowing God is with you through it all.

Today:Ahead of Eid al-Adha, the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice holiday, we talk with the Palestinian owners of two local bakeries: Abdulla Awad of Yafa Bakery in Somerville and Sami Herbawi of Andala Coffee House in Cambridge. And, we talk with two the leaders of two New Hampshire-based aid groups for Ukraine: Alan Himmer of the Ukraine Crisis Aid Group, and Susan Mathison of the New Hampshire-based Common Man for Ukraine.

In a world where entitlement is increasingly common, parents must focus on building character rather than comfort in their children. The three main pitfalls of irresponsible parenting include allowing apathy, enabling blame-shifting, and fostering a care-for-me mentality. Parents can combat these issues by modeling financial responsibility, emotional control, mental discipline, and personal accountability. By demonstrating these qualities consistently, parents help their children develop the strong character needed for a purposeful life.

WBZ NewsRadio's Chaiel Schaffel reports. 

In this special Film Ireland podcast, Naemi Victoria talks to Feargal Ward (Tin City) & Sophie Somerville (Fwends), whose films both premiered at Berlinale in 2025.

This Day in Legal History: Harry Blackmun Confirmed to SCOTUSOn May 12, 1970, the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed Judge Harry A. Blackmun to the Supreme Court, filling the vacancy left by Justice Abe Fortas. Nominated by President Richard Nixon, Blackmun had previously served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and was considered a moderate, scholarly jurist. His confirmation marked the culmination of a tumultuous series of failed nominations for the seat, including two rejections by the Senate, making Blackmun's 94–0 approval a moment of bipartisan relief.Blackmun would go on to serve nearly a quarter-century on the Court, authoring over 700 opinions. He is perhaps best known for writing the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade (1973), which recognized a constitutional right to abortion. The decision would shape political and legal debates for decades and define Blackmun's legacy, despite his broader jurisprudential contributions. Over time, he evolved from a judicial centrist to one of the Court's more liberal voices, especially on issues of individual rights and the death penalty.After retiring in 1994, Blackmun remained active in legal education and public service until his death in 1999. The Library of Congress released his extensive papers in 2004, providing scholars with a revealing look into the internal workings of the Court during his tenure. His former clerks, some of whom became influential legal figures themselves, publicly remembered him for his deep humanity and commitment to justice. Blackmun's confirmation anniversary serves as a reminder of how judicial legacies can transcend the expectations of those who appoint them.U.S. District Judge Susan Illston issued a temporary 14-day halt on the Trump administration's federal government restructuring plan, citing a lack of congressional authorization for mass layoffs and agency overhauls. The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by unions, nonprofits, and local governments opposing the large-scale “reductions in force” initiated by the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), led by Elon Musk. Judge Illston emphasized that the president cannot broadly restructure federal agencies without clear approval from Congress. The plaintiffs submitted extensive evidence showing critical services being disrupted, including nearly complete staff terminations at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Pittsburgh. Similar losses were reported at Head Start, the Farm Service Agency, and the Social Security Administration. Illston found the plaintiffs likely to succeed on the merits of several claims, including violations of administrative law and overreach by DGE, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of Personnel Management. The administration's efforts, ordered in February by Trump, aim to automate services, eliminate redundant roles, and reduce federal personnel. Critics argue the changes are destabilizing and harmful to community services. Illston's ruling aims to preserve the status quo while legal challenges proceed, with a hearing on a potential preliminary injunction scheduled for May 22.Judge orders temporary halt to Trump administration's government overhaul | ReutersRumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, returned to Massachusetts after being held for over six weeks in U.S. immigration custody in Louisiana. Her arrest stemmed from a revoked student visa, which the government linked to an opinion piece she co-wrote criticizing Tufts University's response to the war in Gaza and urging divestment from companies tied to Israel. Ozturk was apprehended by masked officers in Somerville, Massachusetts, and was quickly transferred from Vermont to a detention facility in Louisiana. Her legal team, including the ACLU, argued her detention was a retaliatory act against constitutionally protected speech, aimed at silencing pro-Palestinian voices on campus.U.S. District Judge William Sessions granted her release after determining she had strong grounds for claiming her constitutional rights were violated. Upon arrival at Logan International Airport, Ozturk expressed relief and gratitude, thanking supporters and calling attention to other detained women. Representative Ayanna Pressley condemned the detention as a politically motivated act of intimidation, citing inhumane conditions and medical neglect during Ozturk's confinement. The case has drawn national attention amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to deport campus activists engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy.Tufts student returns to Massachusetts after release from immigration custody | ReutersOver the weekend Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and charged with trespassing at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in New Jersey during an unannounced visit by three Democratic members of Congress. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained Baraka after a scuffle at the facility's gate while a bus of detainees was arriving. Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Robert Menendez Jr. were also present and said to have been jostled during the confrontation. According to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, the group's uncoordinated attempt to enter the site was unsafe and politically motivated.Baraka, who is campaigning for governor, stated after his release that he was there to support the lawmakers and did not cross into restricted areas. His supporters and congressional aides claim he remained outside the facility's fence and that ICE exaggerated the incident. DHS accused the group of endangering detainees and law enforcement, while the lawmakers insisted they were exercising lawful oversight powers. The detention center, operated by the GEO Group, has faced criticism from immigrant rights advocates for allegedly lacking local permits and operating against community wishes. The controversy has become entangled in Baraka's gubernatorial campaign, spotlighting tensions over immigration policy and the role of private detention facilities.New Jersey mayor charged with trespassing at US immigration detention center | ReutersPresident Donald Trump announced plans to slash U.S. prescription drug prices to match the lowest prices found internationally, prompting a global selloff in pharmaceutical stocks. In a post touting cuts of “59%, PLUS!,” Trump previewed an executive order mandating a “most-favored nation” pricing rule. This would require that Americans pay no more than citizens in the cheapest country for the same medication—a move that starkly contradicts the administration's prior market-driven rhetoric, now seemingly embracing a form of price fixing. Investors, analysts, and drugmakers scrambled to assess the implications, especially since Medicare and Medicaid represent a major share—around 40%—of U.S. drug spending.The proposed pricing shift offers manufacturers two theoretical paths to comply: lower U.S. drug prices to align with cheaper countries like France or Japan, or raise prices overseas to maintain U.S. revenue levels. It remains unclear which route companies will choose, but economic incentives suggest they'll resist U.S. price drops by inflating foreign costs instead. Trump framed the move as restoring fairness to American consumers, whom he described as having long subsidized global drug development. The executive order follows a prior, unsuccessful attempt during his first term to peg Medicare prices to international benchmarks—a plan struck down in court for procedural flaws.The Inflation Reduction Act already initiated drug price negotiations under President Biden, but Trump's new approach could broaden the scope or accelerate the effort. However, legal and legislative obstacles remain, especially since the administration cannot set prices for the commercial market without congressional support. Analysts are watching closely for whether the policy targets just Medicare, specific drug types, or a wider range. Meanwhile, critics note the contradiction in Trump's newfound support for a centralized pricing strategy after years of decrying government interference in markets.Trump Vows US Drug Price Cuts of Up to 80% in Industry Blow (2) This is a public episode.

Friday, a federal judge in Vermont ordered the Trump Administration release Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts University student who was arrested by ICE agents in Somerville in March. Öztürk has been held for six weeks at an ICE detention center in Louisiana. Federal officials claim the grad student engaged in activities in support of Hamas but failed to supply any evidence of the claims except an op-ed piece Öztürk co-wrote for the Tufts student newspaper that urged the school to do more to advocate against Israeli aggression in Gaza. We discuss the release and extreme arrest of Rümeysa Öztürk.Listen to WBZ NewsRadio on the NEW iHeart Radio app and be sure to set WBZ NewsRadio as your #1 preset!

Inspirational parenting focuses on building deep, faith-filled relationships with children through loving touch, focused time, and consistent encouragement. Parents must prioritize both quality and quantity time, creating an environment where faith practices are regular and meaningful. By connecting before correcting and leading with relationship over rules, parents can shape their children's spiritual DNA during their formative years. The goal is to create a home environment where faith flourishes and children feel consistently supported and encouraged.

Maria Somerville jumps on a call with Hunter to talk all things 'Luster' her new album and debut on 4AD.

Building a God-centered family requires intentionally leading children from parental dependence to complete dependence on God. Parents must demonstrate wholehearted love for God through consistent actions, making worship and faith a non-negotiable priority. Creating a spiritual environment involves regular devotions, natural faith discussions, and decisions based on godly convictions rather than convenience. The ultimate goal is helping children develop a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ that will guide them throughout their lives.

The tomb is empty so you don't have to be.Listen in and discover how God's rescue plan through Jesus can change your life—starting today.

For the 15th anniversary of the second Titus Andronicus album, The Monitor, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Patrick Stickles founded Titus Andronicus in Glen Rock, New Jersey in 2005, he worked with a rotating group of musicians, many of whom he had known in high school. By the time they were ready to record their first album, the lineup had coalesced around Stickles, Liam Betson, Dan Tews, Ian Graetzer and Ian Dykstra. The New Jersey label, Troubleman Unlimited, agreed to put out their debut album and pay for studio time with producer Kevin McMahon, who they had worked with on their early recordings. The Airing of Grievances was released in 2008 and was an unexpected success. XL Recordings became interested in signing the band and agreed to rerelease their debut album in 2009. Around this time, Eric Harm took over on drums, while Stickles moved to Somerville, Massachusetts and began writing the songs that would make up their second album. Using their advance from XL, they booked a month in Kevin McMahon's studio and began recording the album. The Monitor was eventually released in 2010. In this episode, Patrick Stickles describes his grand vision of a concept album framed around the American Civil War. He describes his routine at the time where he would stay up late, smoke pot and watch Ken Burns's Civil War documentary. Stickles talks about how gobsmacked he was by the film and how the words of historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman inspired him to include their words as a framing device on this record. He also describes this time in his life when he was graduating college and applying to graduate school but deciding to abandon his plans as the band started to become successful. Partially inspired by Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Stickles talks about how he felt like he needed to take advantage of a potentially fleeting moment, where he had a deal with a new label, the attention of the music press, and a growing audience around the world. The result was the big swing of The Monitor, where the band had no qualms about attempting to create a generational touchstone. From the indie rock boom years to casting his friends in reenactment roles to ambitious song suites to incorporating the music of the Civil War to exploring the eternal us vs. them conflict to the continuing saga of mental health to the importance of conviction and raising the stakes, we'll hear the stories around how the record came together. Intro/Outro Music: “The Anniversaries” by The Tisburys, from the album, A Still Life Revisited Episode produced, edited and mixed by Dan Nordheim Additional mixing and mastering by Jeremy Whitwam

Justice is coming for Charline at last! News broke this week in her 16-year-old murder case. The first real hope for justice for Charline and her family. On Thursday, April 10, Middlesex County District Attorney Marion Ryan announced the arrest of Heinsky Anacreon, age 38, of Malden, Mass, who was indicted by a Middlesex County grand jury on charges of murder, willfully misleading a police officer and willfully misleading an attorney, charging him with first-degree murder in this cold case that has haunted Charline's family since the day she disappeared on April 7, 2009. The investigation revealed a heartbreaking betrayal - Charline was lured by so-called friends with the promise of a sweet deal on a car, only to be robbed and killed. Most disturbing perhaps is the evidence that after the murder, her killers celebrated with a bottle of Moet champagne and toasted their windfall. For those who've followed Crime of the Truest Kind, this case has been near to my heart. After sharing her case in a live show in 2024, and interviewing Charline's sister Rose (listen to episodes 71 and 72) last fall and advocating for this case at every opportunity, seeing this development brings joy. Nothing can bring Charline back or erase her family's 16 years of hoping and waiting for her killers to be caught. As we look toward a trial, I will continue following every development. Advocacy is key. After 16 years, there's finally been an arrest in the murder case of Charline Rosemond, a 23-year-old woman from Everett who was shot to death for $4,000 cash in 2009. Middlesex County District Attorney Marion Ryan has announced charges against Heinsky Anacreon, revealing that Charline was set up by someone she considered a close friend, Roberto Jude, who died before facing justice.• Charline disappeared April 7, 2009, she was found on April 13. • DNA evidence on the car's door handle linked Roberto Jude to the scene• Anacreon allegedly admitted to disposing of the murder weapon in a river• Charline's family will be meeting on April 13th at 3pm in Union Square, Somerville – the 16th anniversary of when she was foundMore at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comFacebook.com/justiceforcharlinerosemondSupport the showFollow Instagram | Facebook | BlueSky | TikTok | Threads | YouTube For show notes & source information at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comGive the dogs a bone tip jar: buymeacoffee.com/truestkindBecome a patron: Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindThis podcast has minimal profanity but from time to time you get one or some curse words.
