While Boston might be the proverbial hub of the wheel in Massachusetts, what happens across its many spokes matters to people all across the Commonwealth. From Alpha-gal syndrome on the Vineyard to data centers in Holyoke and policies shaped on Beacon Hill, there’s a wealth of stories that connect and affect all Bay Staters. And now, you can find them in one new program — In Common: News from the Berkshires to the Bay. We sat down with Host Jeremy Siegel to discuss the show’s conception, the importance of public media covering the entire state, and where it will go next.

GBH and CAI (Cape and Islands Radio) are beyond grateful to the five fantastic runners who are lacing up their shoes on behalf of CAI in the ASICS Falmouth Road Race on Sunday, August 16.

“Who does this American experiment benefit?,” asks an interviewee in GBH’s new documentary, Promises of the Revolution. It’s a question the entire four-part series of short films, made in collaboration with Mass Humanities, interrogates in one way or another.

Just six months in, the results speak for themselves. We sat down with the minds behind The Message to discuss the compulsively watchable series, what’s behind its remarkable success, and their long-term vision for the series.

Public media has plenty of great calling cards — dramatic storytelling, essential local journalism, beautiful music, and powerful documentaries — but sports coverage isn’t often top of mind. And in a media landscape like Boston, replete as it is with outlets and journalists covering professional and collegiate sports at a granular level, GBH News has had to find its own lane when it comes to the sports beat. That’s where Esteban Bustillos, our lead sports writer, comes in.
