Kerry Jane: Some episodes walk through a budget or a big vote before it happens. Others go back into Cape Ann history, to the fishing fleet and the people and places that shaped these towns.
Kerry Jane: Every episode has a full transcript and a list of its sources on capeanncurrent dot com, so you can check our work.
