It’s Saturday the 31st of October – It’s Halloween and we are doing a very special edition of The Roundtable. Special because it is a Saturday. Special because we are broadcasting LIVE from the Great Barrington Farmers Market in Great Barrington, MA and special because of our Superstar Panel.

The focus of this outdoor radio broadcast is to discuss the Midterm Elections…and to talk about how awesome the Berkshires, Great Barrington and this Farmers Market are.
