Today is all about competitions...sorta.

We speak with head coach Lynn Hersey, director of sports and recreation Kristin Hughes, and professor Sam Intrator about the interconnected history of Smith College and women's basketball just as their current team win the regional championship and earn a place in the NCAA Division III’s sweet 16.

Then Mr. Universe joins us to explain whether or not space is for everyone, and defend his Oscar picks.

And we embark on Pizza Quest: our ongoing journey to find the best pizza western Massachusetts has to offer. Our first stop is near and dear to downtown Springfield, Red Rose!

As the snow times beckon once again, we give you a few things to uplift your weekend!

The folx behind Tumble: Science Podcast for Kids give us a quick look at their new winter special coming up, and we talk about... that thing that everybody does.

Then the Wine Son and Yankee Sippah invite us into their basement for the first ever "wine thunderdome": two wines enter, one wine leaves.

And just ahead of his performance at the Academy of Music as a part of the John Prine tribute for the Back Porch Festival, Peter Mulvey joins us in studio to talk about why Prine was so important, and to regale us with a song or two!

Maple forward wine and food

There's a Maple Sugar Moon tonight and sweetness in the air. Just in time for Massachusetts Maple Month, for which we travel to Granville to see the official first tap at Maple Corner Farm.

Amy Traverso, food editor of Yankee Magazine, joins us to discuss highlights of her career and some cool things to expect this weekend at NEPM's Wine & Food Lovers’ Weekend.

And we travel north and head underground to Ten Forward, a new decidedly inclusive artspace helmed by Ang Buxton (and their partner Alex Noonan). They tell us all the cool things going down in their part of Greenfield, even though we were sadly remiss with the Star Trek puns.
