Episode 67: "Maybe bloggers cramp"
<p>A literal garden variety show this week. Dispensing hard won wisdom and totally accurate and good advice for competitively growing potatoes for the Tuber tourney from a park bench in the new Green Hill Park Community Garden, where Chris has a lovely plot and so do The Noes. And wouldn’t you Noe it (sorry) they make a surprise appearance early in the show! (Don’t worry, Matt and Gabby, we cut out all the stuff about a certain ongoing local drama).</p><p>The first 10 minutes or so were pure field audio, off the built-in mics of my trusty little Sony Dictaphone, walking around the lovely little garden patches, up there on the top of the hill next to the municipal golf course we have for some reason, that at one point was probably sold as something that would pay for itself and/or usher in a Renaissance, and now does neither. A grand Worcester tradition.</p><p>Subscriptions are down and it’s freaking me out! Please subscribe!

Episode 66: Mayor Cooper
<p>The summer doldrums kicking in, Chris and I do what we do best: chip away at the boring old rocks of local government in our fair city, hunting for rich veins of silver and gold. We find it in Toomey’s narcissism and lack of institutional memory, in a cross reading of city hall bologna and Thomas Pynchon’s “Vineland” (1990), and how the Galleria never closed so much as spread out around the foundations of downtown, an invasive root network that is by now intractable as it continues its slow work, pulling the thing down into some ruin it can one day swallow. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osCaxy0vWEs">ADU or ADA clip </a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk_aqy1yNto&pp=0gcJCSgLAYcqIYzv">Bergman doing the Bergmanian Switcheroo</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com/">Weather Star 4000</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/WorcesterMA/comments/1tqix7m/comment/ooi84jd/?screen_view_count=2">Worcester or Providence Reddit post </a></p><p>Mark your calendars folks: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZDteYohiOM/">Saturday, June 20 at Steel & Wire</a>, celebrating the first SIX years of Worcester Sucks!

Episode 65: Haggler’s Delight
<p>As mentioned quickly in the editor’s note at the start and at length at the end of the program, head to the page “<a target="_blank" href="https://johncashmanliver.my.canva.site/">John Cashman Needs A Liver</a>” if you are someone who’s in the position to donate a liver to save a life, or if you know someone who might be, or if you know someone who knows someone who might be. The widest net possible will yield the best results. Please share any way you can. </p><p><strong>Again that’s “</strong><a target="_blank" href="https://johncashmanliver.my.canva.site/"><strong>John Cashman Needs A Liver</strong></a><strong>.”</strong></p><p>As far as the show’s concerned: a loose round up of the activities engaged in by our fair city’s collection of gross little guys. We go over Joe Petty’s op-ed, the Sturbridge man who runs the public market trying to run for Mary Keefe’s State Rep seat despite not living in the district in a very proveable way, Ray Mariano’s little baby brain, his childlike wonder, his rose-colored glasses, the ongoing insult to the profession it remains that the Telegram lets him “write” a “column” while they have “no other actual columnist.”</p><p>Local journalism is a hell of a way to try and earn a living, and we’ve got a rare thing going here where we get to do it exactly how we please to the best of our ability. I’ll stress again that is rare. And it’s all due to the people who chip in a few bucks a month to make it happen. </p><p> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.worcestersucks.email/subscribe"><strong>Subscribe</strong></a><strong> / </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/worcestersucks"><strong>Tips</strong></a><strong> / </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.billshaner.bigcartel.com/"><strong>Merch Store</strong></a></p><p>“<a target="_blank" href="https://www.worcestersucks.email/p/a-sturbridge-resident-is-trying-to">A Sturbridge resident is trying to run for a Worcester state rep seat</a>”</p><p>Ray Mariano: “<a target="_blank" href="https://archive.ph/20260515110014/https://www.telegram.com/story/opinion/columns/2026/05/15/ray-mariano-things-i-miss-most-in-todays-politics/90050371007/">Things I Miss Most In Today’s Politics”</a></p><p>FIFA may f**k up the US World Cup for fans in even more ways than we could’ve imagined. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/13/metro/its-maddening-fifa-licensing-delays-threaten-massachusetts-world-cup-party-plans/">Will Worcester even have our scheduled viewing parties?</a></p><p>This podcast is available on <a target="_blank" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3h18ugRFuHQPxnz1QQf9XM">Spotify</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/outdoor-cats-podcast/id1785258649">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYS2GF89VhHz7qjCg6dqtz6M4D8M0Aw4S">YouTube</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://overcast.fm/itunes1785258649/outdoor-cats-podcast">Overcast</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://pca.st/wcs3swbc">Pocket Casts</a> others via <a target="_blank" href="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/57244/s/168689.rss">this RSS link</a>.</p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Worcester Sucks and I Love It at <a href="https://www.worcestersucks.email/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.worcestersucks.email/subscribe</a>
