The way this is shot makes it feel like something from kids tv in the 2000s. I love it.

[@jbaby362]

That is exactly it, I was trying to figure out how to describe it that's nail on the head

[@seraphimxiii]

probably bc GBH shot most of the live action TV made for PBS kids during that time

[@JoeAllenD]

This is local news??? I need more local news just like this is

[@nostromonaut]

Love that it feels like Chris also directed this segment

[@lilacforest4826]

This is an amazing format for an interview!! And Chris Fleming and the host had great chemistry hahaha

As a lifelong MA resident, raised by generations of MA residents, anytime I hear Massachusetts being mentioned outside of a local context, I literally ascend 👼

[@kieleleron85768]

chris fleming is so great i joined the online cult that worships him the minute I saw that first episode of gail doing that line of granola and vacuuming her driveway. Also i wholeheartedly agree that jimmy buffett does indeed come down the chimney when you turn 50 and tell you to give the bird to your dreams.

[@TheRach995]

I have been following chris for years now, love him! So happy to see him starting to get more recognition!

[@noosy530]

I love this guy

[@GBHNews]

Does Stow, MA remind you of your hometown?

[@hannahrose4091]

Yes ma’am! It could pass as Palmer, MA any day of the week

[@mwv1217]

COMPANY IS COMING!!

[@yenee94]

That edit of the witch dog was wild

[@JamieJobb]

Now, Chris needs to get to Stow-On-The-Wold ...

If you think the Stow Woods are the epitome of vvitches there is a 100% chance you grew up in Stow

[@RugMann]

Who?

[@danielmcelroy4505]

The first two minutes feel written, there's two setups and payoffs like Chris is trapped in his own narrative like wtf

[@noyoquese..]

[@hjvhjfv6320]

Appropriate that this aired on Grievous Bodily Harm News
