How Do You Get a Dog Out of a Sinkhole?

About The Episode

We get a crash course into the science around DNA testing – and how data can be misconstrued – from Boston Globe reporter David Scharfenberg. 

Edgar meets Sarah Walsh, librarian by day and Abigail Adams impersonator by night, ahead of an America 250 event happening at the Buttonwoods Museum. The event commemorates Adams' “remember the ladies” letter to her husband John. 

Tessie Velesig is the 11-year old yellow lab who made international headlines last week after falling into a 12-foot sinkhole in her Falmouth yard. Edgar speaks with owner David Velesig about the dramatic rescue, and what constitutes a feel-good story in 2026.
