508 is a show about Worcester. This week's panelists are Tracy Novick and Brendan Melican.
508 is now arguably the first local program to be an equal citizen of both the internet and TV. You can watch it on Worcester cable channel 13 Tuesdays at 12:30am and 11:30am. Plenty of local programs from traditional media have some internet component, in most cases, unfortunately, on the periphery of what they do, rather than near the core.
We touch on shopping locally, then delve into this year's school budget. Mike promotes the upcoming Blogger Beer. The restaurant Quan Yin is closing. (You should watch at least a few minutes of Supreme Master TV.)
The Worcester City Council's CORI vote was apparently delayed by an unreported screw-up by people in the Clerk's office.
The InCity Times has an angry, personal rant inspired by an unlikely issue.
Brendan had a great time at Worcester's Pecha Kucha.
Our conversation about urban "open space" takes a turn when Mike brings up the article "US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive."
