Investigative reporter Sruthi Gopalakrishnan joins the podcast to discuss two recent stories that took place in local cemeteries: one a cemetery clean-up ahead of Veterans Day, the other an account of families who’ve had their mourning rushed along by law enforcement at a Bow cemetery.

Also, hosts Alex and Rebeca give a high-level overview of the Monitor’s reporting staff and coverage areas.
