What Does It Mean To Live In Harmony With The Rats?
About The Episode
First up, it’s another round of our misfit news panel ICYMI, this week with GBH’s Callie Crossley and UTR producer Andrea Asuaje. Among other stories, they'll touch on mixed messaging around the safety of Charles River swimming, and major fashion brands pushing reading as the hot new thing.
Then, as Beacon Hill leaders weigh whether to restrict the use of rodenticide to protect urban wildlife, we talk with Ricky Meinke, director of Allston’s Rat City Arts Festival, and citizen-scientist / self-described Rat Ranger Lexi Grosse.
Support local Allston artists here at the Rat City Arts Festival: https://www.ratcityartsfestival.com/ They have local artists, poetry slams, beautified rat traps, and more!
Lastly, Edgar takes a peek into the treasure trunk that is Antiques Roadshow, in the midst of their 30th anniversary season. We meet long-time executive producer Marsha Bemko and appraiser Joel Bohy for a conversation about what goes into producing the series.
