About The Episode

Residents and advocates of several Mass. communities are demanding change! On this episode of "In Common": 

  • GBH News' Worcester reporter Sam Turken explains the latest development in the plan to establish a civilian oversight board to oversee the Worcester Police department. 
  • A common municipal law in Northampton, Mass. bans promotional flyers in the city. NEPM's Jill Kaufman has more on the movement to change this ordinance and preserve this lost art form.
  • We explore the talk of the town on social media with GBH's digital video producer Renuka Balakrishnan. 
  • The CAI newsroom on Cape Cod revisits key issues featured in the award-winning series "Two Cape Cods: Hidden Poverty on the Cape and Islands.” CAI's Sean Corcoran and Amy Kolb Noyes give us insight into what’s changed 20 years later in "Two Cape Cods: A Look Back."
  • Beach sprints -- a combo of rowing and running – is an event set to debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics, but it's already building excitement in Massachusetts. Host Jeremy Siegel gives us a preview of the second annual Boston Beach Sprint underway in South Boston and tries it out himself!
