My North End: The Podcast
So what is My North End: The Podcast? Much like the YouTube show, it is dedicated to telling the stories of the people of Boston's historic North End. It is a way for these stories to be told in a longer format. The podcast will include guests from all generations, as well as local business owners - everyone who makes the North End the best neighborhood in America. New episodes will be available every other Tuesday. Hope you enjoy!
