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!

My North End: The Podcast
Episode 18: Mary DeGrandis - Part Two
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mary DeGrandis, the Flying Angel in the Fisherman’s Feast in 1973, was possibly the first North Ender to get viral media attention when WGBH filmed a segment about her and her family leading up to and during the feast that year. The episode re-ran on their channel regularly, and suddenly, our close-knit Boston enclave was getting national attention – with Mary, a preteen girl, at the center of it. Decades later, WGBH dug the clip out of their archives and shared it on the Internet. Once again, Mary was a viral star.
People who have seen it often comment, “what is she up to now?” Mary joins My North End: The Podcast to answer that question, and more. Still a part of our community, and still possessing that star power, Mary talks all about growing up in the North End, being the fourth generation of a Madonna Del Soccorso family, her time as the Flying Angel, how all the attention from the local and national media impacted her life, coming of age in a drastically changing Boston during the 70s, coming to embrace her proud heritage, and passing it onto the next generation. This is Part One of two very special episodes.
