Margaret Swanson joins a list of Somerville residents who have competed on the trivia show.
Margaret Swanson, a Somerville resident, will compete on the popular trivia show Jeopardy Thursday night, according to the show. Introducing herself in a short video on the game show's website, Swanson says, "Hey Somerville, I'm Margaret Swanson. Grab everyone from your triple decker and come watch me on Jeopardy." She joins a growing list of Somerville residents who have competed on the show recently. In October of 2011, Joon Pahk, a physics instructor at Harvard, won over $200,000 in a seven-game winning streak on the show. Then, in February, Emily Kelly, a university librarian, nearly pulled off a win on the show, but fell in the Final Jeopardy round of play. You can see Swanson's video introduction on Jeopardy's website.
Tom Nash and Adam Vacarro, editors of Somerville Scout, talk about the local media scene and investigative journalism in Somerville.
Ed. note: The following is from SCATV's "Greater Somerville": Two Scouts are better than one ... at least on Greater Somerville this week. Co-editors of the city's 'Somerville Scout' magazine, Adam Vacarro and Tom Nash, spoke with host Joe Lynch and gave the weather report, spoke about upcoming investigative stories and more. We still wonder which local media outlet Lynch was speaking of when he made the passing reference about "kissing the Mayor's bum."

Two married couples from Somerville, both with young children, will be featured on ABC's 20/20 Friday night for a segment titled "Strange Arrangements: The New Sex," according to ABC's website. The segment highlights the couples' open relationships with boyfriends, girlfriends and, it seems, each other. ABC's website introduces the segment in this way: To most people, the idea of their loved one dating and having passionate sex with other people is repellent.

I found it very interesting that you invited people to be part of the audience on the very day the show was to be taped. You did not give enough notice for anyone who wanted to attend. I only hope the voters of Somerville are smart enough to vote this question down. Vote NO! more ›
