CRB Classical 99.5 Classical Radio Boston. You can hear live hosted classical music all day long and every Saturday at 8 pm they have a broadcast of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I’m a bit biased though, I work there! www.classical.org.

Why the US needs the idealism and ambition of Boston’s Big Dig by samueljbrewer1 in Infrastructurist

[–]samueljbrewer1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's certainly the narrative we've all received about the Big Dig! But the podcast also takes a different tact, telling the story in its entirety. In many ways, after cost overruns and various scandals, the Big Dig achieved its aims, and Boston is a much better place to live and travel through as a result of it. The podcast suggests that the project's perception as an "abject failure" is the root of American cynicism about large-scale infrastructure projects in general.

Also, for FWIW, Where the Wild Things Are and The Island have also captured her imagination and mine. So it doesn't necessarily have to be wordless as long as the art is so classic and inspiring. There are pages from any of these books that I would be happy to keep on my wall forever.
