Strangers on a Bench

Tom Rosenthal talks to random strangers on park benches, often leading to surprising revelations.

@matthewskiles @rooster +1 for Strangers on a Bench
@JustMeDevin @rooster Awesome! Some of the songs at the end really get to me
@matthewskiles @rooster yeah same here, my favourite was the Tom Odell one. Tom Rosenthal actually sang a song I wrote and used to propose to my wife 😊
@rooster no way, these are my parasocial relationships

@rooster The Big Dig from GBH. Boston-focused, but the stories are interesting regardless. First season is obviously about the “bury the highway” project, but they’ve moved on to other topics. I haven’t started the current season, but season 2 about lotteries was also great.

The Big Dig

Seemingly dry topics become gripping political dramas in this Peabody Award winning show from creator Ian Coss and GBH News. Each season of “The Big Dig” uncovers a different facet of society in Boston – infrastructure, gambling, food, healthcare – together the pieces connect to tell the story of modern America.
