Bostopia News

Evan is offering the kind of political coverage that Boston residents should be getting from our newspapers and magazines. But in today’s corporate media landscape, that’s just not happening. Bostopia News fills that void with its sharp focus on the track records and substantive actions of city leaders; always making clear why this matters and why the audience should care. Even if you don’t share Evan’s political beliefs (which he never tried to hide, to his credit) you can learn a lot from listening to his show.

I don’t live in Boston but I love this podcast because it has really expanded my understanding of local politics and issues like affordable housing, rent control, and housing development. I also enjoy the deep dives into local news stories. Thank you for distilling all this information and for a great podcast!

I was especially moved to hear the story of Rumeysa Ozturk, who was abducted by ICE - a division of the United States Government - in March 2025. Beautifully contextualized. Hopefully, she will be properly brought to a court for due process.

Bostopia News gets into the details thoroughly to explain context and the crazy series of events of the local politics in Boston. I’ve been needing a good local news source, and I’ve found it here. The host Evan George also owns his own bias/perspective always clear while keeping it light and fun and informative. Thank you for your hard work Evan, you’ve earned a dedicated listener!
