"There are people who hate his guts and people who admire him. There are people who think he got everything he deserved and people who think he was wrongfully prosecuted."

If better food journalism has hit the airwaves this year than Episode 3 of Catching the Codfather, I haven’t heard it. Major props to @iancoss.bsky.social and team for not only turning up archival snippets and getting the best quotes, but knowing which ones serve the story. overcast.fm/+ABDdBFBDyso

The host of 'Catching the Codfather' explains why his new podcast about a notorious fishing magnate is really about regulation, science, and the American dream.

🐟As Somerville’s foremost elected podcast reviewer, I truly cannot believe how good the latest is from the team that brought us THE BIG DIG and SCRATCH AND WIN (secret history of the MA lottery): CATCHING THE CODFATHER. So friggin good @iancoss.bsky.social

Thanks Ben! Can you believe the station keeps letting me make a podcast about the esoteric corners of MA politics and policy??

So far I’ve had to rebook my ticket after a last minute cancellation, and walk from the green line to red line to avoid a signal error. Wish me luck!

There are a lot of things I'm excited to share in our new season, 'Catching The Codfather', but more than anything...I'm excited to share our theme song: "Viva Viva New Bedford" by the great Jorge Ferreira. Cannot stop humming it.

Hey thanks much for sharing, and glad to know his work still has fans. My grandfather died a few months after I was born, so I never knew him, but I guess I picked up the music & media interest anyway. If you stumble on any other stuff of his, would love to see it!
