Search for 'Berried Treasure' with a new season of Last Seen
The third season of Last Seen is here, and it starts off with reporter Amelia Mason's hunt to solve the mystery of a treasured childhood snack, the black raspberry. Listen for an expedition that will take you through grocery stores, local farms and Mason's own childhood backyard.
Distract yourself from traffic with an auditory trip down the Green Line's E branch
Have you checked out WBUR's new daily local news podcast, The Common, yet? If not, this episode on a Boston TikToker named Jed, known for reviewing the MBTA, is a great place to start.
He took the team on a trip down the Green Line's E Branch, which will transport you from the traffic you're stuck in to an adventure on a train.
Impress the kids table with your knowledge from Endless Thread's MEMES series
Want to have something to chat about with the younger folks at your celebration this year? Check out this series about memes from our podcast made in partnership with Reddit.
It starts with the story of Kilroy, one of the oldest internet memes whose origins can be traced to a time that predates the internet. Part 2 is here, on Scumbag Steve, the original representation of dudes who are the worst.
Take a break from holiday stress by looking to the skies
For those with their eyes on the sky and beyond, Last Seen explored the centuries-long hunt for a missing planet on the edges of the known solar system. And Endless Thread dove into the messy drama that came after a dwarf planet was discovered by two different teams of astronomers.
Give them a listen when you need to be transported far, far away.
