Today we meet the challenger for the seat of mayor in North Adams.
Scott Berglund is a new arrival to the city, but is already full of ideas about its progress. We sit with the candidate to learn about this first foray into politics, especially as a relatively new resident, his views on housing, senior benefits, and some criticisms of the current administration’s projects and communication with the public and more.
There’s a story hiding in and around each grave of the 175yr old Pittsfield Cemetery. The Berkshire Historical Society gives tours around the more notable denizens of the resting place. We wander the grounds with director Lesley Herzberg to meet some of the important figures, learn cool quirks about the location, and discover the difficulties involved with preserving this particular part of Berkshires legacy.
And tonight, Tuesday, Oct. 28th at the Iron Horse, you’ll have a chance to see Autumn Defense take the stage in support of their latest album Here and Nowhere. But first, you’ll meet Pat Sansone, John Stirrat, James Haggerty, and Greg Wieczorek here at the NEPM studios to talk about their sound and the 10 year hiatus between releases.
