    Is there a way to block the ads? I suspect one can pay money to block thembirvwill be coming in the future. Correct?

    So intrusive

  • Dan Rea is a National Treasure!

    I can’t say enough good things about this podcast and about Dan Rea! It is so refreshing to listen to someone who is from Boston and cares so much about Boston and the people of Boston / Massachusetts. Although this show talks about political issues, Dan is fair and respectful to both sides.
