Description

There is a strange irony behind the Big Dig: the most expensive highway project ever built in America began with a man who hated highways. This is the story of Fred Salvucci’s journey into activism, during what is perhaps the most transformative anti-highway movement in the nation’s history.

I love this podcast. I was a child when they began the big dig and my dad's family was from Boston. I remember the hullabaloo even though I was only 10 when it began. The backstory is fascinating to this son of an engineer.
