The Cod Cabin Episode 47: Our Top Threes to see

With a new year brings a new Governor.  Governor Maura Healey and Lt. Gov Kim Driscoll are promising changes to the Commonwealth.  In their inauguration speech, they promise advances on healthcare, community college, tax reform, and climate economics---but how much change is coming? The Cod Cabin Crew sit down and talk about the new administration and if the new boss is the same as the old boss.

Why is Adam so concerned about Bristol County Sheriff? Does Jessy see any movement in the Hampden Hampshire Senate Race? Why does Jack have such a disdain for Quentin Palfrey? And does Logan think Tommy Vitolo is in Trouble?  If were asking these questions, then its primary season here at the Cod Cabin! The crew give their top three races to look at on the sixth of September and go over remaining questions about contested races.  Its the most wonderful time of the year here on the Cod Cabin. 

Its only Adam and Logan this time as they finish up the miniseries for Lt Governor.  Rep Gouviea of Acton is running for the position and is seen as the favorite for progressives.  Here, she talks about the final session of the legislative year, priorities if she is elected, and who inspires her to move forward. All that and more, on the Cod Cabin. 

Does a Lt Gov need executive experience? Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll thinks so.  In our second episode of our mini series, we talk to the Mayor who is running for the position.  She shares her thoughts on sports betting, abortion, housing, diversity and what she sees the role as compared to her rivals.  All that and more on the Cod Cabin. 

Many will say that the Lt. Governor position is useless.  Not so to Democratic State Senator Eric Lesser from the 1st Hampden and Hampshire district.  The Senator, who once appeared on the Cod Cabin, talks about how being a Lt Gov is like working in an engine room to get strategies and plans activated.   Lesser has advocated for East West Rail, Sports Gambling, affordable housing, and improving infrastructure.  In this episode, the crew begin a mini-series adventure to find out just what does it take to be a Lt Governor. Its the Cod Cabin. 

Jessy went to the Convention! Adam has questions.  And Jack has a wild theory about Bill Galvin.  Yes its the Cod Cabin. Back for another wild round of fun and Massachusetts Politics in this episode, "The Convention Conversation."

Did you miss us? We sure missed you.  The Cod Cabin Crew makes its grand return after months of hibernation.  Join us as we discuss the ballot of the Massachusetts Elections and the different races to keep eyes on.

He is the thoughtful, funny, and interesting man of Boston Politics, Scam Tarly.  Host of the "We Need Some Milk" podcast, Tarly has been covering Massachusetts politics longer than the four of us.  Jessy asks about the challenges ahead for Michelle Wu, Adam discusses the legacy Kim Janey left, and Logan poises the big 2022 question to Scam.  It was a delight to have him on and we would do it again. Its the Cod Cabin.

On our 40th episode of "The Cod Cabin" we sit down with Eytan Saenger, a young man from Massachusetts and New York with a lot on his mind.  He was inspired by our show to get youth involvement within the political process in New York, and now he's ready to tell his story. It's the Cod Cabin.

In a very special episode of the Cod Cabin, Adam and Logan sit down for a half-hour to talk about Newton Politics.  Logan, who lives in the city, and Adam, who has covered the election for more than 5 months, go through ward by ward, contested elections and all and discuss what kinds of issues, candidates and stories are being told/talked about in the garden city.  Logan brings up his mailers while Adam brings up his research, in what is a very neat spin-off episode.  You ain't seen Newton Yet, on the Cod Cabin.
