- As Black consumers seek a greater foothold in the wine industry, Angela D. Mack, founder of New England Noir, tells GBH News Rooted host Paris Alston that the challenge is not a lack of interest but a lack of access and inclusion. What began after a visit to a Western Massachusetts vineyard has grown into a thriving festival that celebrates wine, nature, and culture while creating opportunities for Black-owned businesses. Mack argues that the future of the industry depends on making wine more welcoming, less intimidating, and more reflective of the communities already enjoying it.

- Ballot Question 1 in Massachusetts is about expanding access to public records.
Right now, the governor’s office and State House don’t have to share any of their records. Question 1 would change that. It could make records like emails, memos and documents available to people who ask for them.
Some things would still be kept private. Like emails between lawmakers where they’re developing their stances on different policies. And the emails you might send to your representative about constituent services.
With nine major questions on the 2026 Massachusetts ballot — the most in over three decades — making informed decisions at the voting booth might feel overwhelming this year. GBH News is here to help.

- In the early 2000s, Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his advisory team start development of "Romneycare." This includes addressing preexisting conditions, figuring out where and how people get their healthcare insurance, and making the most consequential PowerPoint presentation of Mitt Romney's life.
Healthcare is the problem American politics cannot solve. It’s the subject of screaming matches at town halls, the cause of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, the justification for political assassination in cold blood.
Mitt Romney and Ted Kennedy began their political journeys on opposite sides of the issue, and they ended once again on opposite sides, but for a brief period in the middle they worked together to pass a groundbreaking law – one that promised to finally transform the politics of American healthcare – the law known as Romneycare. So what brought this odd couple together, and what ultimately pulled Mitt and Ted apart?

The studio closed in the 2000s, but its legacy endures as the birthplace of iconic Boston bands like The Mighty Mighty BossTones, Buffalo Tom, Juliana Hatfield and Morphine. The story began 40 years ago when Paul Q. Kolderie and fellow Yale graduates Sean Slade and Jim Fitting started producing indie rock at 169 Norfolk Avenue in Roxbury, Massachusetts. They’d dabbled in basic recording while playing in the new-wave outfit The Sex Execs, but when the opportunity arose to rent space with studio co-founder Joe Harvard in an old commercial laundry building, they never looked back.

- Following a catastrophic derecho that left thousands of residents in Gary, Indiana, without power for days and, in some cases, weeks, questions are mounting about utility accountability, climate resilience, and infrastructure equity. Journalist Jenae Barnes examines how years of rising utility rates, aging electrical systems, and extreme weather combined to create a crisis in one of America's most historically Black industrial cities. As state regulators investigate the utility's response and residents pursue legal action, the Gary blackout has become a powerful case study in climate justice, grid reliability, and the growing energy burden facing communities of color across the United States. The story raises urgent national questions: Who gets restored first when disaster strikes, and is America's electric grid prepared for an era of increasingly severe weather?

- How $1 billion triggered healthcare reform in Massachusetts | The Big Dig Season 4 | Mitt & Ted
- Runtime

- Description
- After the 2002 Winter Olympics rebooting his political career, Mitt Romney reunites with Ted Kennedy to lobby the Bush administration. At stake: more than a billion dollars of federal money that is propping up the state’s entire healthcare system.
Healthcare is the problem American politics cannot solve. It’s the subject of screaming matches at town halls, the cause of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, the justification for political assassination in cold blood.
Mitt Romney and Ted Kennedy began their political journeys on opposite sides of the issue, and they ended once again on opposite sides, but for a brief period in the middle they worked together to pass a groundbreaking law – one that promised to finally transform the politics of American healthcare – the law known as Romneycare. So what brought this odd couple together, and what ultimately pulled Mitt and Ted apart?

- Two schools. Two sexual assault cases. Two outcomes that left many asking whether campus accountability still depends on who holds power. At Cornell and LSU, disciplinary decisions have renewed scrutiny of how universities handle allegations of sexual violence, and whether concerns about reputation, prestige, and institutional protection continue to shape the process. As long as meaningful reform arrives only after public outrage, the bigger question remains: what would it look like for colleges to treat sexual assault as a systemic problem instead of a recurring scandal?

- Teamwork, discipline, belonging. Those are the promises of youth sports. But for some student-athletes, the game comes with racism, intimidation and lasting trauma. GBH News investigative reporter Chris Burrell joins Paris Alston to discuss his reporting on racial harassment, bullying and accountability in Massachusetts high school athletics, including allegations of racist abuse directed at Black athletes. Together, they examine where competition crosses the line into harm, the role coaches and athletic officials play in preventing it, and whether current efforts to address hate in school sports are making a difference.

- You’ve probably heard of stunt coordinators and fight choreographers — professionals who help make action-packed sequences look like they’re the real deal. Now, there’s a new role that’s increasingly growing in both popularity and necessity. It’s called an intimacy coordinator: specialists who help a production’s cast and crew as they create scenes featuring everything from kisses to sex onscreen and onstage.
The interest in this role took off after the #MeToo movement, but it originated years before that, with professionals like Ita O’Brien writing the guidelines and teaching classes that would spur a whole field of trained intimacy professionals.
Now, intimacy coordinators are frequently working alongside directors and superstars, assuring those sexy scenes are realistic and also safe for all involved.
Two seasoned intimacy coordinators take us behind the scenes to learn more. Lizzy Talbot is an original member of the association...

- In 1994, Mitt Romney’s first political campaign was not for president or governor; it was for the U.S. Senate, and it was against Ted Kennedy. Early on the challenger looks unstoppable – handsome, eloquent, moderate – then the Kennedy camp starts digging into Romney’s past.
Healthcare is the problem American politics cannot solve. It’s the subject of screaming matches at town halls, the cause of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, the justification for political assassination in cold blood. But how did our most basic need become such a divisive issue?
In Season Four of The Big Dig podcast, "Mitt & Ted", we tell the origin story of national healthcare reform. Mitt Romney and Ted Kennedy began their political journeys on opposite sides of the issue, and they ended once again on opposite sides, but for a brief period in the middle they worked together to pass a groundbreaking law – one that promised to finally transform the politics of A...
