Title: WGBH - The Big Dig: The story of America's most expensive road
Post by: JREwing78 on November 08, 2023, 08:51:35 PM
WGBH, a prominent public media outlet in Boston (TV, radio, etc) recently published a podcast series about the conception and creation of The Big Dig. It's less of a technical deep dive into the nuts and bolts, and more about the people and the politics behind it. The podcast is available anywhere you find podcasts, but if you like construction video, watch it on YouTube, as it features vintage video of the old Central Artery and the construction of the Big Dig.

Thanks for sharing. I'll have to take a listen to some of this stuff. There's a lot of time in that playlist talking about just one project!

Of course, there was this PBS production back in the day...

I'm not sure what the point is that's being made here.

Fair. Didn't realized this section was strictly for user-generated content, and I didn't find the other post before I posted it.
