    I appreciate the podcast database for WBZ night side. However, the constant repetitive betting sites is very prohibitive to even get through on session on one days show.

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Minding the Flock
Q: How is data sharing controlled, and can it be accessed by federal agencies without consent?
Data sharing is controlled by the municipality; Flock does not unilaterally share data and there is no default sharing with federal agencies; municipalities can choose who to share with and data ownership remains with them.
Minding the Flock
Q: What is the strongest argument opponents use against these cameras, and how do you respond?
Opponents claim the system tracks people constantly and creates a nationwide database; I explain that the technology does not track individuals, stores only exterior vehicle data, and access is governed by municipalities with strict deletion rules and audit trails.
Oh Rats
Q: Is this a local Boston issue or a global one?
The guest confirms it is global, noting that rat populations worldwide are increasing and that more scientists are needed to study and address the problem.
Oh Rats
Q: What is the primary focus of the Boston Rodent Action Plan in terms of addressing the issue?
The plan centers on strict garbage management, proper disposal practices, and ensuring containers and dumpsters are maintained to reduce food sources that attract rats.
Oh Rats
Q: How are the rats doing in your neighborhood in Boston?
The guest explains that while exact counts are difficult, the approach is to look at densities and trends through inspections, complaints, and pest professional input to determine if the situation is improving, stable, or worsening.
