Aria DiSalvo tells us about the “Stop Spewing Carbon” anti-biomass incinerator campaign.

Election molehills: Mayor Lukes’s husband has cars registered outside Worcester! Candidate O’Brien linked to his boss!

Brendan talks about the police department’s latest feud with the newspaper. Mike talks about the Center for Nonviolent Solutions kickoff.

As the centerpiece of the show, we come up with reasons to vote for every challenger in the upcoming election.

Mike contrasts Worcester Magazine’s search for an “edgy” writer with their past claims to be “non-dowdy.”

Worcesterites will be celebrating the October 24 International Day of Climate Action with a weatherization “barnraising” and tree planting.
