Welcome to the Radio Boston live webchat. We’ll run a chatroom like this every week while the show is live and on the air, Fridays from 1-2pm Eastern Time. Log on and listen in to our live stream: www.wbur.org/listen.

Today, our chat is moderated by Ashley West, a 20-year old recovering herion addict. Why is heroin use spreading among younger and younger people, and what should be done about it?

You’ve seen the Pops at the Hatch Shell. The BSO at Symphony Hall. But have you caught Township at TT The Bear’s? Or Neptune at the Middle East? Radio Boston takes you inside the local music scene, Friday, December 28th. We broadcast from The Flophouse, the Somerville, MA studio where the Band in Boston podcast is produced. Hear from music great Greg Hawkes of the Cars about how the scene has changed over the years and whether he thinks the Cars would be able to make it big in Boston today. Plus, check out our box set of web specials, including videos and mp3s of a one-time only live performance by Greg Hawkes strumming a Cars classic on his ukulele…
