Art, art and more art. And holiday spirits all over!

It’s live music Friday and we’re getting a holiday visit from a collective bringing ska, dub, and rocksteady to western Mass and beyond. The Valley Moonstompers are celebrating a brand new seasonal single and a show next week at the Marigold Theater, and we’ll get our skank on when they swing through the studio.

And once we’re in the spirit, we’ll sit with artist Gayle Kabaker. She’s responsible for several handfuls of New Yorker covers, and is teaching a workshop for all to make paintings of their own this weekend. We speak with the seasoned creator about teaching, the restorative process of making art for yourself, and the surprising things that bubble up when making art becomes a more regular activity.

And tis the season for the bubbles to be in glasses, but bubbles doesn’t always mean champagne, but it does pretty much always mean celebrations. So we set the champers aside to taste some exciting offerings from unlikely places and grapes in Shelburne Falls at Juicebox Wine Bar with owner Alice Thompson.

Today we take a local view of things happening globally in the arts, in the environment, and in legislature. It is the very beginning of maple season and the Bay State is celebrating this weekend with many producers across the state opening their sugarhouses and welcoming the public to see their operations up close. Shattuck Sugarhouse in Belchertown is one of those many and we’ll chat with mother son team Judy and Nick Shattuck about their 50 years of turning sap into syrup and more. A new program is headed to Springfield Symphony Orchestra next week, Eternal Echoes takes timeless themes in music of connection, loss, and community and pairs them with a local maestro, a local soprano soloist, and our own local orchestra over its works. We sit with President Paul Lambert, Maestro Cailin Marcel-Manson, and Soprano Jamie-Rose Guarrine about bringing these works and topics close to home. And our weekly chat with Us. representative Jim McGovern recounts the 47th President’s recent address to congress, cuts to environmental government offices locally, the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of congress where DOGE’s cuts are concerned, and even more listener questions…

Today we are a bit playful, cause we all need more art and more laughter. So we bring back a guest from last week who’s got way too many projects going, one of which will be performing at the Back Porch Festival this weekend. Cowperson is the Americana outlet for Michael Hanson and Keith Dusoe, and we hear how this particular project stands out in its field from the rest in an impromptu Live Music Wednesday. It's also in the laughs just around the corner from our station because three decades of comedy are being celebrated at White Lion Brewery this Friday. We speak with the organizer and celebrant of the occasion, comedian Gerald Kelly, whose appearances span stage, screen, and beyond, about the night’s program which includes his sons. It’s in the words we use, some of which are not as proper as others, shall we say. Which is a great time for Word Nerd Emily Brewster, senior-editor at Merriam Webster , to chat us up on slang and how it has had an impact on English for centuries, which is wicked cool and hella fun, yo……

In the words of John M. McCrea, "we are widening the corridors and adding more lanes." In one case, this means expanding where art can go and who gets to make it. At Berkshire Community College, the Justice Dance Performance Project is presenting “ Unmuting ,” a piece that highlights the lives of incarcerated people in their own words and movements. We talk with director Judy Dworin about the importance of getting these tales outside both for the storyteller and audience. It is also in making more space for the art we love. In Williamstown, Images Cinema is making a huge push to raise funds to double their screening capabilities, and we sit with Executive Director Dan Hudson to talk about the need for more screen time, discuss the Oscars, and highlight the community built in each curated showing. And, speaking of community, we find out how, once again, bunnies are bringing us together to help those in need. Author and illustrator Mo Willems joins us at R. Michelson Galleries to discuss his new book, "Me and Other Bunnies," and this year’s benefit exhibition . We learn how to relate to one another while still staying true to oneself with animals, the cutest way to bring a little unity wherever you are.…

It’s officially maple season, so we head for the forests to get a taste of the Bay State’s very first agricultural product, and the sweetest by far. We go as far west as we can to Hancock and Ioka Valley Farm where thousands of maple trees are being tapped to bring sweetness to our tables. Co-owner and third-generation farmer Missy Leab walks us through her farm's journey in maple production and how agro-forestry fits into the farm’s greater mission, including some delicious lemonade and some super cute cows. We also hear from Ben Crockett, Climate Smart Agricultural program manager at Berkshire Agricultural Ventures , to help us put forestry into a better perspective for local farms. And Mr. Universe, Kainaat Studios and Hampshire College's Salman Hameed, stumbles into the rocky territory of "astroturf astronauts" as a certain owner of Amazon prepares to send a mission of hand selected women on a space voyage. And, we take a quick pause from science to rundown of the Oscars.…

Today is action packed with art nutrition for what ails you. We head to Amherst College to talk with director Jen Acker about actor Jeffrey Wright, author Percival Everett, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the other star studded guests coming to campus for this year's 10th annual LitFest . We also get a triple dose of music for this Live Music Friday. We’re joined by local star Ciarra Fragale , who is celebrating a new video, an upcoming album and an appearance at the Back Porch Festival next weekend. We’re also joined by the ever-amazing tag team, Peter Mulvey and his labelmate, Ruth Theodore , from across the pond. Both will take the stage at The Iron Horse this evening, so we hear some notes and how the current state of American affairs is impacting the international tour. And, on this last day of February, we’re already looking ahead to Women’s History Month. For those that indulge, we head to Lenox to hang out with the awesome purveyor, Mary Daire, at Dare Bottle Shop and taste two women-led vineyards for the Tina Turner Memorial Wine Thunderdome.…

We’re tackling hunger from both coasts, or at least seeing how the west coast is combating food insecurity and reframing what the need to combat hunger looks like. Award-winning actor and comedian Kristina Wong is in the midst of a week long residency at UMass Amherst, culminating in a performance of her latest work #FoodBankInfluencer . We talk about her own experiences at food banks and some misconceptions about them before you can see her solo show on Feb. 28. And yes. We are still reeling from the loss of auteur David Lynch, so we head back to Great Barrington where the "Time to Wake Up: Tribute to David Lynch" series continues at Triplex Cinemas with the director’s very first film, “Eraserhead,” this weekend. Creative director Ben Elliott chats with us about the other films they’ll be showing to showcase Lynch’s contributions to the artform. And, our weekly chat with Congressmen Jim McGovern covers many listener questions on House votes regarding tariffs, the firing of the joint chiefs, our nation’s eerie resemblance to moments of the Velvet Divorce, and more issues relating to the very thorny landscape of Capitol Hill.…

We’re witnessing the creation of important amalgams, fusions of culture and preservation At Mt. Holyoke College, a new opera entirely in the Chickasaw language will have its east coast premiere on Feb. 28. Loksi' Shaali' (Shell Shaker) by Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate combines elements of classical operatic styles with traditional songs, dances, and language of the Chickasaw people, and we chat with two cast members and maestro Tianhui Ng about broadening the scope of opera and how the campus played a part in its incubation. As for the city of Holyoke, it is in the conjunction of agriculture and municipal services. The Winter Farmers’ Market is bringing fresh produce to those who need it most amidst funding changes, shifts in leadership and other roadblocks that occur. Lisa Totz, interim director of the Holyoke Chamber of Commerce, joins us to talk about the ways the city is helping everyone to eat better. And, like, it’s in the way we talk. Word Nerd Emily Brewster, senior editor at Merriam-Webster , joins us to explore the incredible usefulness of the word, “like,” because she was like, “it’s one of the most versatile four letter words.”…

Today, we have nostalgia in all sorts of flavors Especially if you grew up watching roller derby on tv like we did. And if your dreams see you getting up on wheels with your friends and neighbors and creating a little chaos on the track, you’ll be happy to know that Pioneer Valley Roller Derby is hosting two recruitment sessions in the next few weeks. We talk with players Bash-it Hound and 23rd Century Fox Gorl (aka Bash and Fox) about the appeal of the game, and the many ways you can play it here. And it’s in the communities that have been built before. A new documentary takes a look at De Colores, an organization made to support lesbians of color in Northampton through the women who were a part of it, and we’ll chat with the team that brought De Colores: Defining Kinship, Finding Peace to screen: historian Erika Slocumb and multi disciplinary artist Michael Hanson And speaking of screens and Northampton, if you miss the appeal of stepping into a brick and mortar location to choose your evening’s options rather than scrolling on a screen, then the community minded Vision Video is definitely for you. George Myers, Jesse Hassinger, and Bill Dwight still in process storefront of the non-profit to find out more about the efforts to get a full picture of what engendered the idea, and what they seek to build beyond the celluloid…

Today’s show is jam packed with FACTS Did you know that there’s a whole day to celebrate and encourage reparations? Professor Ousmane Power-Greene of Clark University tells us more about this grassroots holiday effort to get more folx more acclimated to the concepts being proposed in today's Power of History. And did you know that only last week DOGE stripped away contracts with agencies that will affect many small farms in Western Mass and around the country? We’ll speak with Abby Ferla about the repercussions of these cuts at Foxtrot Farm, and why size may matter in the ways Federal funding comes to agriculture. How about the shortage of Primary Care Physicians in the Baystate? The NEPM Newsroom’s Karen Brown has just completed a series looking at the issue and how it relates not just in Massachusetts but nationwide and how both patients and doctors themselves are feeling the strain. Maybe you wanna find out about Asteroid 2024 YR4, which had a shift on the Torino Scale.

We’re celebrating a local band that is almost as old as we are, and that’s saying a lot because not many groups get to see 40 years. The Iron Horse is hosting the Lonesome Brothers ’ birthday party where they and their friends will take the stage. We hear a couple songs and tales from the journey as they join us for Live Music Friday.

We’re drawing connections in both likely and unlikely places. For instance the connection that those of the African diaspora have had with the land in the western hemisphere. The art exhibit Black Hands, Black Earth takes a look at the connections between people, earth, and the plants and people they’ve carried for generations. Artist and Educator Kerrita Mayfield walks us through her work and process to bring more of the roots of those connections to light. Or perhaps it’s in gambling, and the Bay State’s unlikely penchant for it. The new podcast Scratch and win takes a look at Massachusetts connection to the lottery, and how that relationship has evolved in a significantly different way to the rest of the nation. Documentarian Ian Coss joins us to explore the course of scratch tickets, the Numbers, Megabucks and more, and even tie some of those tales directly to Western Mass. And our weekly chat with Jim McGovern tackles the house budget, the prospect of working *with* DOGE, conspiracy theories about Elon Musk and the elections, and more questions from listeners about what comes next.…

Congratulations parents, you’ve made it halfway through vacation week! Just in case you still need a little something to get your littles up and going, we get to take a totally age appropriate journey to the Holyoke Children’s Museum , where program director Emmy Garick and operations manager Julie Cologne let us run around like the kids we are at heart, and show us how the city itself continues to contribute towards learning and play Once the kids are done, you might want to relax with a seasonal beverage and snacks to boot. Protocol in Amherst unexpectedly stumbled into seasonal fair, but local produce is influencing not just its food, but its bar menu and appeal to the burgeoning downtown scene as well, and operations manager Alden Peotter walks us through bringing a cosmopolitan approach to a rural setting and more. And the horrors abound at our dictionary in Springfield as Word Nerd Emily Brewster, senior editor at Merriam Webster makes us face the vocab with the words we use to describe our fears (with apologies to the logophobes out there).…

Malcolm X once said “Mississippi is anything South of the Canadian border.” And, when it comes to the legacy of slavery, northerners often tout our abolitionist history but overlook what happened above the Mason-Dixon line for the 200 years before abolition. So today, we introduce you to Charmaine A. Nelson , provost professor of Art History at UMass Amherst and founding director of the Slavery North Initiative , supporting research on the study of slavery in Canada and the American north. We hear how her background in art history has shaped Slavery North’s approach to tell this history. You can catch some of the tales she and her colleagues have discovered so far at a talk at Historic Northampton. And speaking of borders, we preview the documentary, “Borderland: The Line Within ,” screening tomorrow at Amherst Cinema. The film discusses how the U.S. border is not just a geographic location, but is everywhere, creating a chilling effect for undocumented families under the threat of deportation. We talk with the director, Pamela Yates , and producer, Paco de Onis , about their work on and surrounding the film. We also speak to Jim Hicks, guest curator of the 32nd Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival : Documenting Dissent, about this year’s free program.…

It’s President’s Day. And what’s a thing that ties the two presidents we’re celebrating today? Slavery. So, today we are going to hunker down and talk Black history for the whole hour with three local historians. We talk with Smith College professor Jennifer DeClue on the overlooked histories those who were enslaved in the Connecticut River Valley, how women have been often left out of the slavery narrative, how the legacy of slavery is evident as you walk down Main St. even today and how you can learn all this and more through a talk she is giving through Historic Northampton Tuesday night. Clark University professor of history Ousmane Power-Greene will introduce us to two Black women who we all should know more about, one whom you would’ve found in the opera houses and one who you can find in your U.S. passport. And, UMass Amherst doctoral candidate and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Museum director of interpretation and visitor experience, Erika Slocumb, will talk with us about the challenges and importance of preserving oral history and how to preserve the present day.…

Plus, one of our cinematic heroes is getting a posthumous celebration in Great Barrington. The Triplex Cinema starts their David Lynch festival tomorrow with the film “Wild at Heart,” and we talk with Creative Director Ben Elliott about the impact not just of Lynch’s work and style, but the importance of kicking off the “Time to Wake Up” series with this particular movie.…
