This is the Radio Boston rundown for Oct. 25. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

  • A mother and daughter in the Berkshires created the weekly bilingual radio program, Mundo Latino. We meet the duo and learn about their passion to uplift the Latinx community and connect immigrants with community support services.
  • A local woman noticed a historic cemetery near her North Shore town was in disrepair, so she developed the skills to fix it, and now she's doing it professionally. We talk about what our region's cemeteries have to tell us, and what it takes to preserve them.
  • From the Newsroom, WBUR's Deborah Becker takes us to Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard. State Sen. Nick Collins, who represents the area, also joins us.

This program aired on October 25, 2022.
