Make Way for Ducklings at Boston Public Garden with Liz Vizza

This weekend is Mother's Day, which means it's also Duckling Day. In this episode, I chat with the president of the Friends of the Boston Public Garden about the park's history, its dire state in the 1970s, and the iconic children's book that inspired both the city's favorite statue and this annual tradition.

Plus, a crude Ben Franklin bumper sticker, questions about Sam Adams beer and Celtics' fans, and a book recommendation.
