Before tonight's Scotland/Haiti match in Foxboro, here's my brief @wbur.org chat this morning with two delightful BBC Scotland broadcasters about Boston, the World Cup, fandom, and the beautiful game www.wbur.org/upnext/2026/...
Just ahead on 90.9 @wbur.org -- you'll hear some of the best accents in the universe via my chat with two BBC Scotland broadcasters about the World Cup, Boston, the Tartan Army, and the beautiful game
You can’t seriously be thinking of not celebrating the 100th birthday of a local legend?? No gifts necessary. All you need to do is listen to my short little radio story about toy planes. (And as a party favor, at the end of the piece you’ll get a great weird song by another local legend.)
Next on 90.9 @wbur.org -- join me to celebrate a 100th birthday, minus cake and off-key singing but plus balsa wood and childhood memories! Guillow's Inc was founded in 1926 in Wakefield, MA and is still designing and manufacturing the balsa wood toy airplanes you know and love and lose in trees.
