A Breath of Fresh Air
Exploring the scene and artwork of Brookline, MA, and climbing in the White Mountains.
A Breath of Fresh Air Weekends with Yankee
Amy sits down with comedian and author John Hodgman in his hometown of Brookline, MA, to talk about how growing up there shaped his comedy. In New Hampshire’s famed White Mountains, Richard scales Cathedral Ledge, a tough climb that offers sweeping views across the Saco River Valley. We also explore New England’s largest outdoor sculpture park, the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline.
