The Scrum podcast went local with a vengeance this week--discussing Charlie Baker 2.0 (check out this profile of Baker); David Bernstein's Grand Unifying Theory of Massachusetts Politics [09:05]; and the viability (or lack thereof) of former Boston Mayor Tom Meninio's attempt to cast himself as a prophet for American politics in his new book Mayor for a New America [13:10]. Also: does anyone care about the dueling Democratic and Republican "narratives" that the campaigns and chattering classes create [03:15]?

And should we start a Scrum book club, or what [27:36]? Email us: scrum@wgbh.org
