    I sort of admire the balls it took for ESPN to launch their Boston radio outpost just to the right…read moreof WEEI on the dial. I like seeing someone go for the throat, even if it's doomed for failure. But then again, they are the Worldwide Leader, so they have muscle to make a go of it, and they are not exactly the underdog here. 890's main draw is also its chief liability - syndicated, national broadcasts. Mike and Mike and Dan Patrick (well, at least until August 17th) far outshine their EEI competition during the morning and midday in both the class and content department, though their coverage is necessarily more generalist and national than the hermetically sealed, incestuously provincial homerism of EEI. Both these shows make for better listening, but probably can't pull in the ya-dood yahoos that are sports radio's main bread and butter. Local programs (or program, really) suffer severely. Mike Felger - a refugee from EEI's carnivalesque afternoon shouting match hosted by the Big O - simply lacks the panache to hold listeners attention, is disagreeable and abrasive without being genuinely hateable, a la JT the Brick. The only ace up his sleeve is a regular spot by Peter Gammons on Thursdays - but why go here when I can see him regularly on ESPN TV. A negligible one hour Red Sox pregrame show runs between 6-7, and during the football season, Troy Brown hosts a weekly one hour stint which is agreeably listenable, but only because Brown is so agreeable himself. Though probably not destined to sink into obscurity any time soon, a la the Zone 1510 AM, I can't see ESPN making any real dents as long as they stay in the same neighborhood as their unassailable rival.

    One of the best radio stations I have ever had the pleasure of listening to on a wretched morning…read morecommute. A couple of things I really liked about WERS: - Very eclectic mix. I could have done without their proclivity for Peter Gabriel and the Talking Heads but hey, they overcame that by introducing me to Blitzen Trapper, Frightened Rabbit, Lissie, Deer Tick, as well as playing some of the artists I already loved such as Bob and Jakob Dylan, The Decemberists, Steve and Justin Townes Earle. - Independent radio station - no corporate playlists and no commercials - Run by college kids

    WERS used to be one of the best college radio stations in the country. Then, they apparently forgot…read morethat they are a college radio station. Instead of letting students take the lead, they hire a few cringeworthy amateurs like their insuffurable afternoon drive announcer and a host of their weekend Coffeehouse acoustic show who brings in the same six albums in her collection every week and plays the same one song from each. Last Saturday, I counted more than half a dozen songs which are played virtually every week. The careers of two of her favorites--Joanna Newsom and Broken Social Scene--hopefully be cut short by the international shortage of helium. They sound like Alvin and the Chipmunk tribute bands. Musical tastes are subjective but if the announcers don't know anything about the music, they should educate themselves. That's what college is supposedly about. The host of The Coffeehouse talks more about coffee than music. (Her conversation mirrors her musical choices--every comment on repeat). WERS might be able to cut back on their now incessant fundraising drives if they diverted some of the money they spend on MBTA advertising back into the station and if their management would more responsive to their students and their listeners.

    My child had been taking guitar lessons at Zumix, and while we initially had high hopes, our…read moreexperience was ultimately very disappointing. My son has a disorder and is on an IEP; school has always been challenging for him, and at times, his guitar lessons had to take a back seat so he could focus on his academic needs. This summer, he was required to attend summer school due to those challenges. We communicated this to Zumix and asked if he could take a temporary break from lessons. The response we received from Jennifer was disheartening: "We've had to offer your lesson time to one of the many students currently on our waitlist who are eager and ready to jump in." While I understand there is high demand, this response lacked any compassion or effort to find a solution. It sent a clear message: that my child, who has already faced so many obstacles, is easily replaceable. Instead of feeling like part of a community, we felt discarded. There was no flexibility, no outreach, and no sense that they cared about my child's journey or well-being. If your child has a disability or needs some grace and understanding, I would strongly urge you to proceed with caution. This experience was a painful reminder that not all youth organizations are equipped--or willing--to support children with unique needs.

    What an awesome venue! We had my daughters baby shower here…read moretoday, and I can't say enough about how much we loved it. From the people that work here, to how helpful they are, clean and organized, and it has everything you need! I highly recommend Zumix, and we are looking forward to having another even there soon. Maybe the baby's first birthday!
