He's been sitting there for decades, watching over Providence. Nibbles Woodaway, a.k.a. the "Big Blue Bug", is a giant termite on top of his company's building, and he never fails to make a statement. Brian Goldman, the CEO of Big Blue Bug Solutions, joins Nichole to talk about Nibbles' history and the repairs that need to be done to keep him standing for years to come. Reverend Laura Everett is the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, and she's starting a new art project using old, trashed, and worn-out masks. Nichole talks with Rev. Everett about the motivation behind the project, her "Mending Church", and the intricacies of using textile arts to meditate and process the trauma of the pandemic.
