Ever wonder what makes a city tick? That is exactly what the Boston Behind the Scenes webcast attempts to answer. This is a new webcast and only has a couple of episodes, but even so, it has already proven itself exciting.

Usually we use the Wednesday Webcast to listen to local podcasts and give our opinion on them in the form of a review and rating. This week, Bostonist thought we would take a break to mention one particular episode of a podcast that is produced on the other side of the Atlantic.
First of all, Bostonist wants to make something crystal clear: This review is not an endorsement or critique of Mr. Patrick's campaign. This is simply a review of a podcast being used by a candidate in the upcoming gubernatorial election. With that out of the way, we think it’s interesting that a couple of the candidates are attempting to embrace podcasting as a way to mobilize their grassroots campaigns.

Bostonist likes to live in the fantasy that we are completely hip and cool and down with what is hot and fresh (see, that sentence proves we are living in a fantasy). One niche of hipness that Bostonist knows little about is sneaker fashion.

It's spring outside (um, and snowing?) and the smell of leather, chewing tobacco, and pine tar is in the air. Bostonist loves the beginning of baseball season. It is this time of year that we are filled with enthusiastic optimism. Around June we are usually filled with self-pity and despair. And, of course, come September we embrace blind faith. How better to whet the baseball appetite than by listening to a podcast devoted to Boston...
Bostonist loves science but does not have the time to read the thousands upon thousands of scientific journals and magazines out there. This is where the Current Science and Technology Podcast proves its worth. A production of the Current Science and Technology Center at the Museum of Science in Boston, helps keep you up-to-date on the latest scientific research, trends, and news.
