August 22, 2024: Triumphant returns
Manage episode 435660343 series 3456018
Today is a heaping helping of hometown heroes of stage, screen, and governance
We’ll head to the Berkshires to talk with Colrain native Elizabeth Perkins, and hear all about how western mass played a part in her love of acting, and get a glimpse of what it was like to film the movie Big before you can ask your questions of the actor herself after a screening of that very movie at the Triplex in Great Barrington on Saturday.
We're also going backstage with music that still looms large on the local scene. The band FAT has left a lasting legacy on the Pioneer Valley, and we’ll hear from one of the folx that helped that legacy to endure: Peter Newland. In addition to hearing some of his music, we’ll find out about what sustains their sound in the area, and what is in store for their upcoming show with NRBQ this weekend at the Academy of Music in Northampton.
And Congressman McGovern is at the DNC this week. We’ll hear his highlights so far from the event, what he’s looking forward to on his upcoming farm tour next week, and a heartfelt reminiscing of his time with CISA’s Phil Korman who retires next week.
