This is the Radio Boston rundown for Oct. 28. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

After a recent uptick in violence in Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu met with community leaders on Tuesday. The next day, another person was shot and killed in a barbershop. We speak with Massachusetts State Rep. Liz Miranda, and Rev. Kevin Peterson about the community response to these acts of violence.
In part two of Radio Boston going to the grave this week, we speak with journalist and author Greg Melville about his new book, "Over My Dead Body: Unearthing the Hidden History of America's Cemeteries."
With Halloween festivities taking place this weekend, we explore some of the region's spookier places to visit with Jeff Belanger, author of the book, "Weird Massachusetts," and co-host of the podcast, "New England Legends."
In this edition of our regular segment, Business of Boston, we look into the Pathways to Scale program, which aims to help minority-owned businesses see long-term success.
