Early Edition With Joe Mathieu

Good morning, we made it to Friday and your weekend is right around the corner… thanks for starting it with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re feeling chipper today about a lot of the local news including Marty Walsh’s confirmation hearing, the revelation of our official state dinosaur, and Tom Brady being back in the Super Bowl. Plus Covid numbers may be taking a positive turn, but this is no time to relax and relent. Have yourself a great weekend, stay warm and stay safe, and thanks for choosing GBH News and GBH Radio.

Good morning, welcome to Thursday, or as it’s called around these parts: Little Friday. Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition crew are up, fueled up on coffee and ready to deliver you the news. But first, “the best 10” catches you up on everything you need to know to start your day. There’s potential trouble at the BPD with the new appointment for commissioner, Marty Walsh faces confirmation hearings down in DC, and we should have an official state dinosaur by the end of the day. Just three days until another Brady Superbowl. Stay safe, stay warm and thank you for waking up with GBH News and GBH Radio.

Good morning and welcome to the midway point of the week, you made it to Wednesday… thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. Would you head to Red Sox training camp in Florida if given the chance? We discuss socially distanced spring training and whether we’d feel safe attending it… even if vaccines seem to be much more available in Florida. A truly train wreck moment for one network and the “my pillow guy”. And Patriots owner Robert Kraft surprised some local healthcare workers on Zoom with quite a gift. Watch out for slippery surfaces out there today, stay safe, and thanks for tuning in to GBH Radio.

Good Tuesday morning from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We cleared the snow and braved the roads to bring you the best 10 minutes on radio… or 15 minutes as it was. Location was everything for how this storm turned out, with many places getting more than a foot, and the brunt missing many other spots, including Boston. Regardless of what got dumped on you, this is heavy and wet snow, so be careful when you shovel out and lift with your legs. Plus a legendary member of the Red Sox retires, and the Bruins got a little scrappy last night in a win. Thanks for waking up with GBH News, and drive safely.

Good morning, welcome back to the work week from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re hunkering down and checking our supplies for a winter storm warning that will last well into Tuesday. Get your bread, milk and eggs…and no we are not making french toast. We recap the weekend and get you ready for the Nor’Eastern that’s on our doorstep. Plus it’s been exactly one year since the first case of Covid-19 was reported in Massachusetts. Thanks for waking up with GBH Radio, stay warm, and stay safe.

Good morning, thanks for waking up and thawing out with Joe Mathieu and the the GBH Morning Edition team. We hope you’re staying under the covers this morning because man oh man is it cold out there today! Real-feel wind-chill temperatures are well below zero all over the state and up in our NH bureau. Tough temperatures to face outdoors, so stay inside and limit your exposure until things warm up next week - while staying pandemic safe of course. We recap the week and some of the Wall Street madness and give some suggestions on what to watch while you’re staying warm this weekend. Thanks for hanging out with the Early Edition gang this week, and thanks for tuning in to GBH.

Good Thursday morning, thanks for starting your day with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. The week is winding down, but we are most assuredly not as we prepare you to face your day. A little bit of snow here and there throughout the area, you might see a few inches depending on where you are. The Celtics lost a close one last night, and Marcus Smart doesn’t want to hear your criticisms about his shot selection. And there was more than just a little bit of Boston down in the White House yesterday, because a little bit of Boston is never quite enough. Thanks as always for tuning in to GBH Radio and GBH News.

Good morning, we made it to the midway point of the week, its Wednesday, thank you for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. So who is “Ted Lasso”? Governor Charlie Baker knows. He’s a television character played by SNL alum Jason Sudeikis, and Governor Baker just happened to quote him in his State of the Commonwealth speech last night. Joe did an event last night with Marketplace’s Kai Ryssdal and has some insight on some weird stock market activity. And the snowstorm last night turned out to be mild by Boston standards. Have a great day, drive safely and thanks for tuning in to GBH News and GBH Radio.

Joe Mathieu and the Early Edition Team cover a lot on a Tuesday morning. Older people are taking priority in vaccine roll out in Massachusetts while President Biden says we could reach herd immunity by spring. Is it possible? Robert Kraft breathes a sigh of relief as a judge orders the Orchid of Asia “tape” is destroyed. Do you leave your shovel and salt out all season, it may finally come in handy. Onward Early Risers, thanks for being here for the Best 10.

Joe Mathieu and the crew are back and this morning brings change to the MBTA. Public transit is seeing the effects of the loss of ridership. Dr. Birx gives an interview on CBS Face the Nation where she describes a “Parallel data stream” when working int he White House. And the big game will see a familiar face to New England. Let’s start the week right -together.

Good morning and welcome to Friday from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We made it to the weekend, and we made it to another milestone… yes, happy three year anniversary to GBH’s Early Edition. “The Best 10” (which is sometimes the best 15-plus) has reached its three year anniversary, and we have a lot of folks to thank for working with and hanging out with us for so long. Plus Dr. Anthony Fauci is acting like a new man after assuming his senior role in the Biden Administration, and we’ve got the sound to prove it. Thanks again for tuning in and helping make Early Edition what it is for the past three years, and thanks as always for waking up with GBH Radio.

Good morning, we made it to Thursday, thank you for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re up early with you and feeling hopeful as the Biden Administration was sworn in yesterday, and wasted little time turning the page on the previous four years. We discuss everything from the anthem, to the speakers, to the poet laureate, right on down to Bernie’s mittens and the memes it helped spawn. It’s the longest “Best 10” ever… just call it “The Best 17”. Have a great Thursday, and thank you for tuning in to 89.7 GBH Radio.

Good morning and thanks for waking up with GBH Radio on this Wednesday, Inauguration Day. Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team are up and ready to help you get your day started. The Trump Presidency comes to a close today as Joe Biden will be inaugurated down in DC, in a ceremony that will be vastly different because of pandemic restrictions. We reflect back on a few moments from the past four years and try and look ahead to Biden Administration. And for the second straight year the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Southie has been cancelled, and people are taking this announcement much better than they took the cancellation one year ago. Enjoy your day, and thank you for waking up with Early Edition and GBH News.

Good morning and thank you for waking up with GBH Radio. Joe Mathieu is back from his long weekend with the entire Morning Edition crew and we’re ready to tackle the day ahead of us. It is indeed the final day of the Donald Trump Presidency, and our Facebook audience appears to be counting it down like its New Years Eve. Something about playing in New York has been bad for our local winter teams this week, as the Bruins lose to the Islanders. Please stay with GBH Radio for complete coverage of the inauguration events in Washington DC, and thanks as always for choosing GBH News.

Good morning and welcome to Early Edition from GBH News and GBH Radio. Joe Mathieu is out for the holiday but the great Henry Santoro is happy to be here to fill in. The rest of the crew is up and working, so we’ll catch you up on the latest news, sports and weather and try and help you jump-start your work week on a Monday morning. Thanks for waking up with us, and thanks for tuning in to 89.7 GBH Radio.

Good morning, you made it to Friday, thank you for starting your day with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re winding down our work week with you and hope you have some fun (and safe) plans on tap for the weekend. Hockey is back in the hub, and even in a shortened season we have hope for the Bruins after game one. Details continue to emerge from last week’s riots at the Capital, including some first hand accounts from police officers who were assaulted on the scene. Have a great weekend and thanks as turning to GBH News and tuning in to GBH Radio.

Good morning and welcome to ‘Little Friday’ from Joe Mathieu and the GBH News Morning Edition team. The week is winding down and so is the Trump Administration, but that didn’t stop the House of Representatives from voting to impeach the President for the second time in his only term for his role in inciting the Capital violence of last week. Heightened security across the country has us on our toes, as we hope cooler heads prevail and some sense of unity can be achieved leading up to Joe Biden’s inauguration. Here’s hoping for better days ahead, and thank you as always for waking up with GBH Radio.

Welcome to Wednesday, thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH News Morning Edition team. The week is halfway over and we’re halfway home, but we admit the past seven days have felt like a month. Mayor Marty Walsh gave his final state of the city address last night and things got a little misty for him as he reflected on his city before he heads to Washington DC to work in the Biden administration. Meanwhile, it turns out that social media companies silencing Donald Trump might’ve been a good idea, as his defiance and potentially dangerous rhetoric continued yesterday at one southern border wall location. Stay with GBH News for the latest, and thank you for listening.

Good morning, welcome to Tuesday from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re up early with you, just not as early as Dorchester’s own Mark Wahlberg… we explain why getting up at 2:30AM and going to bed at 6:30PM isn’t really that crazy to people like us. Working out twice a day and eating many micro-meals? Now you’re speaking a different language entirely. Plus the latest details on the transition to the Biden administration and some further updates on last Wednesday’s events at the Capital building. We’re glad you woke up early to listen to us, maybe while you work out, and thanks as always for tuning in to GBH Radio.

Good morning and thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We made it to another work week, but Joe can’t help but notice how fast this past weekend disappeared for our crew… hopefully yours felt a little longer than ours did. A lot of news on the insurrection attempt last week, including new footage, many arrests, social media bans and the possibility of impeachment. Locally we debate how Bill Belichick will respond to the rumors that President Trump wants to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on his way out of office. Hope your week ahead is a productive one, stay safe, and thanks for tuning in to GBH.
