Early Edition With Joe Mathieu

Good Morning, we made it to Friday! Thanks for beginning your day with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. After a week that felt like two, your weekend is about to arrive. A Capital Police Ofiicer has died from injuries sustained during the riot on Wednesday. With discussions of possible legal implications, President Trump changed his tune on the rioters and destruction. The President also finally accepted that a new administration will be taking over on January 20th. Plus a “Saugus Legend” restaurant may not be sticking around forever. Thanks again for turning to GBH News for breaking news this week, and have a safe and relaxing weekend.

Good morning from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. A bit of a different tone on Early Edition today as we react to the chaos at The Capitol building yesterday in DC. Joe and the crew catch you up on the latest, including the electoral college vote for President Biden being affirmed by the joint session of Congress just hours ago. Stay with GBH News as we continue to bring you the latest from the nation’s capital, and thank you for listening to GBH Radio.

Welcome to Wednesday from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. A ton of news this morning and that has us breaking format and breaking in a special guest to Early Edition: we welcome in sleep-deprived GBH political reporter Mike Deehan live from the MA State House with details on some late breaking news. Plus the results are in for at least one race in Georgia for the US Senate, and chaos erupted in the nation’s capital as Trump supporters clashed with DC police. It’s going to be a hectic news days, thanks for starting it with GBH, and staying with us throughout the day.

Good morning and thanks for starting your day with GBH. Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition crew welcome you to Tuesday, as the great re-entry to the work force continues after the holiday break. Big day in Georgia today, as a runoff election will decide control of the United States Senate and likely shape the country’s policies and ability to pass legislation for the next four years. The Bruins are back to work for 2021 and that means a new expanded leadership role for one longtime player. And Covid-19 restrictions will continue indefinitely, but that won’t stop us from dreaming about when we can all go on trips again. Have a great Tuesday and thanks for listening to 89.7 GBH Radio.

Good Morning, and welcome back to GBH Radio’s Early Edition. After a brief hiatus for the holidays, Joe Mathieu and the entire Morning Edition crew are back in the house and raring to go. Okay, maybe after two weeks off it takes time to properly adjust to these ungodly hours and we’re all feeling it on our reentries. We all catch up on our various vacations and time off and start to process the news of the day, including another “perfect” call from the President and the end of the Cam Newton era in New England. Hey thanks for coming back with us and lets make 2021 everything that 2020 was not… and thank you for tuning in to GBH Radio.

Good Thursday morning, happy Christmas Eve and welcome to GBH’s Early Edition with Joe Mathieu. A bit of a skeleton crew today as the holiday is upon us and the off-days are plentiful. It’s a Christmas themed show today as we recount memories of our favorite traditions, gifts, family moments and even Christmas films. Early Edition is off for Christmas Day and the Monday after, but we will return on Tuesday 12/28 with Henry Santoro in the big chair.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and thank you for waking up with GBH Radio.

Good Wednesday morning thanks for joining Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. The holiday break is almost here, but Governor Baker is literally begging Massachusetts residents to stay home for the holiday and celebrate safely. Plus President Trump is throwing a monkey-wrench into Congress’ stimulus plans, making for a very Grinch-like Christmas. Two days til the holiday, thanks for waking up with GBH Radio and GBH News.

Good morning and welcome to Tuesday from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. Last night’s clouds didn’t exactly provide the perfect viewing experience for “Christmas Star” conjunction, but tonight a little bit after sundown we’ll all get another chance at it in the south/southwest sky. Here’s hoping the weather continues to cooperate. We won’t mention how few days are left for shopping, but with most everyone locked in their homes for the holidays, we go over some our favorite Christmas movies to help get us through. Yes Christmas is indeed coming, and thank you for waking up with us on GBH Radio.

Good Monday morning, and welcome to winter and a holiday work week from Joe Mathieu, GBH News and our GBH Morning Edition team. The darkness will start to subside as winter is officially here and the days will finally start to grow in length. Just think, Spring will be here before we know it! Big news in star-gazing this morning, Karen has the details. There’s a potentially new dangerous strain of Covid-19 emerging in the UK this weekend that has us all concerned. Plus the finale of a certain streaming Star Wars show has us all pretty happy this morning. Stay safe as Christmas approaches, and thanks for waking up with GBH Radio on a Monday.

Good Friday morning and welcome to the end of your work week… thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’ve dug ourselves out and are here for one more cold morning before the weekend commences. Brendan made some friends in his neighborhood by offering to help out with shoveling… but it turns out shoveling in a mask can be challenging. Plus a big (virtual) event for our friend Brian O’Donovan as GBH’s A Christmas Celtic Sojourn continues on. Stay warm and stay safe this weekend, and thank you for tuning in to GBH News and GBH Radio.

Good morning, we hope you’re safely home and staying warm in this blizzard… thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. What more can we say?

We have the latest on the storm, including a tough traffic situation involving the expressway. So if you’re home, stay there. Even better, if you’re warm in bed, stay there. And thank you for choosing GBH Radio.

Good morning, the mid-week point has arrived and we’re all downhill from here… thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition crew. We’re less than 24 hours from the first major snowstorm of the season… we’ve had a few snow flurries so far, but this is the first “bread, milk, eggs” storm this season and people are buckling down to prepare for it. Plus more promising news on testing and vaccines but the need to stay safe remains, especially for the holidays, as news breaks that Times Square will officially be closed for New Years. Stay warm and stay safe, and thank you for starting your day with GBH News.

Good morning and welcome to Tuesday from Joe Mathieu and the entire GBH Morning Edition team. Big day for good news as electors across the country put their votes in for the next President of the United States… hint: it’s actually the person American citizens voted for. Plus doctors and nurses across the country are rejoicing as the first doses of vaccines roll out to hospitals and first responders. Here in Boston it even brought some of them outdoors to dance and celebrate the big break. Just ten shopping days left, don’t procrastinate much longer, and thank you for waking up with GBH Radio.

Good Monday morning and welcome to Early Edition from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team.

Its a big day for public health as the trucks are rolling and the first doses of the Phizer vaccine will be administered today. Plus today the US electors will officially meet and cast their votes for President… and unless something completely off the rails happens, Joe Biden should officially become “President-elect”. Have a great Monday, and thank you for waking up with GBH Radio.

We made it to Friday, good morning from the GBH Morning Edition team. Another tough day for our democracy and in pandemic news, and the season is all but over for the Patriots after a bad loss in Los Angeles last night. But it is indeed Friday and we’re trying to be positive to head into the weekend. Joe Mathieu is in fan-boy heaven this morning after the biggest news release day ever from the people at Disney… the future is in streaming television, and Disney is currently owning it all. Plus all the news you need to start your weekend. Hey thanks for helping us with our one day pledge drive yesterday, and thanks once again for waking up with GBH Radio.

Good morning, we made it to Thursday aka Little Friday, thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re down a man today with a scheduled off-day for Brendan, and almost on cue one Facebook viewer/participant of course botched his name and called him “Brandon”. The pandemic numbers don’t look great this morning, but there’s big news for Star Wars fans (Joe included) about the future of the franchise. We delve into that news and wonder when the Baby Yoda movie is coming. Thank you for tuning in to GBH Radio.

Good Morning, thanks for once again waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We may be beyond 2020’s earliest sunset at this point in December, but the shortest days of the year are still on the horizon before we hit the solstice on the 21st. Strap yourselves in for cold and darkness for a few more weeks. Still a lot to worry about amidst this pandemic, and now Rhode Island has some less than ideal statistical trends that place it among the worst places on the planet for virus spread… we try and understand why exactly. And Christmas came early for some package thieves with goals larger than your average Porch Pirate. Stay warm, stay safe and stay tuned to GBH Radio.

Good morning and welcome to Tuesday from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. The safe-harbor day for ordering gifts online is rapidly approaching and that has a few of our team members suddenly in a panic. For the record you have about a week left before things start to get dicey and you’ll have to opt for expedited shipping. There’s news on the vaccine front, but it may not be great if you reside in the United States. Plus Joe shares a story about an intimidating interview subject he once dealt with. Have a great Tuesday, drive safe with potential black ice out there, and thanks for waking up with GBH Radio.

Good morning, you made it to Friday, thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re keeping it light for Friday morning and focusing on some local entertainment news, as word broke yesterday that the forthcoming Disney Star Wars show “Kenobi” will do some filming in or around Boston.

We’ve also got your entertainment rundown as you stay home, stay safe and help stop the spread. Have a spectacular weekend, and thank you as always for tuning in to GBH Radio.
