Remembering the 1942 Cocoanut Grove fire and its lasting impact on Boston
This is the Radio Boston rundown for Dec. 20. Tiziana Dearing is our host.
- It's been 80 years since hundreds of people died in a fire at the Cocoanut Grove on Piedmont Street. We speak with Stephanie Schorow, author of the newly revised book "The Cocoanut Grove Nightclub Fire: A Boston Tragedy," about the legacy of that fire and its impact on Boston.
- The company behind Massachusetts' largest offshore wind project has said that the contracts it signed with the state's utility companies are no longer viable because of inflation and supply chain issues. WBUR climate and environment reporter Miriam Wasser joins us to explain what the move could mean for offshore wind in the commonwealth.
- As we near the end of 2022, we're talking about happy things from this past year ... and some not-so-happy things, with Boston-area comedians Bethany Van Delft and Ken Reid.
