Best place for Boston political news

I discovered this guy on TikTok, and this is an excellent, straightforward source for Boston news. Highly recommend for anyone interested in what’s going on in Boston and Boston politics.

Concise, sharp commmentary on #bospoli

I’m not quite as far left as Evan, the host of Bostopia, but I truly enjoy his summaries of the latest Boston news items and his political takes. His recent rundowns on Boston City Council members, for example, were informative and fairly rendered (and they included Evan’s droll commentary). We NEED to be engaged and involved with city government, and I’m finding the Bostopia podcast to be a good way to get highlights I may have missed, presented with a dash of pungent humor. (I like the brief format, but would like to hear an occasional expanded episode, perhaps with a guest interview.) If you follow #bospoli, you’ll enjoy Bostopia News. Recommended!
