Premiere Episode

"Wicked lite bites"—a quick, lighthearted news story from each New England state, the New England origin story of Alice's Restaurant Massacree by Arlo Guthrie and how it became a Thanksgiving tradition, and an interview with Esther Friedman—Massachusetts licensed mental health counselor, expressive art therapist, musician, and the author about finding calm amidst the holiday stress.

**CORRECTION: One of the sources used in the Alice's Massacree portion incorrectly stated that Ken Shelton was a graduate of Emerson College. Ken is a graduate of Brooklyn College and the Boston University School of Communication per Ken Shelton's Facebook and LinkedIn pages. A correction regarding this will be aired on the December 8, 2024 episode 2 podcast. The audio for episode 1 has been updated to reflect this.**
