  • Brian Shactman Finds His Voice – And Amplifies Voices All Over Connecticut And Beyond
    2025/04/14
    Brian Schactman in many ways has become the voice of Connecticut. As a co-host of a morning radio talk show, he travels the state to meet residents of interest and explore the topics that animate the 169 towns and cities that call Connecticut home. Having listened to his stuff, I can tell you that he's awfully good at what he does. Thankfully, streaming makes it possible for anyone to listen to him, so I'll include a link to do just that in the notes below. Our candid conversation covers his journey from ESPN, through CNBC, MSNBC, and NBC Boston, to his current role at WTIC 1080 AM in Hartford. In the process, Brian helped me imagine a life I might have had if I had stuck with broadcast journalism as a career for myself. Plus, tune in to hear whom from the Amherst Class of 1994 Brian wants me to interview next. You can contact Brian via email (bshactman@gmail.com) and find him X, Instagram, and Facebook. Download the Audacy app by following this link so you can listen to his morning show, "Mornings with Ray and Brian."

  • Luke Ryan Comforts The Afflicted – And Sometimes Afflicts The Comfortable
    2025/03/31
    Luke Ryan is a fifth-generation Northampton resident and defense attorney. In his line of work, he often finds himself shepherding clients through their lowest moments. But it also has required that he pursue people in positions of authority who have committed wrongs and attempted to cover them up. Nowhere is this dynamic more apparent than in his work to expose crime lab misconduct in Western Massachusetts in a quest to seek justice for his clients, a quest that Netflix brought to life in the outstanding docuseries, "How To Fix A Drug Scandal." In this episode, he discusses his journey from Amherst College to practicing law in his hometown. Along the way, he opens up about his personal struggles, his passion for civil rights and criminal defense law, and takes us deeper into the Massachusetts crime lab malfeasance that resulted in the overturning of about 38,000 drug convictions state-wide. In this episode, you'll learn about: The role of personal tragedy and substance misuse in shaping his approach to representing clients in Western Mass. How Luke went from swearing he'd never be a defense attorney to becoming an awfully good and tenacious one. The significant role he played in uncovering a major drug lab scandal in Massachusetts, leading to the dismissal of thousands of criminal cases. His go-to restaurants in Northampton when Antonio's Pizza in Amherst isn't an option. The Amherst classmates he wants me to interview next. You can email Luke at lryan@strhlaw.com.
