A true North End legend, Richie Spagnuolo aka Richie Spags, joins the show to talk all about his life in the North End: coming here from Medford as a child (and then going back there to raise his own children, and then returning to the North End), discovering all the old hiding places, being an Italian-American in Boston, the contrasts of life back in the day to current times, his family, finding his way in life and ultimately finding God. Richie always keeps it honest, and this episode is no different – you won’t want to miss Richie as you’ve never seen him before!

Episode 18: Mary DeGrandis - Part Two

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:00:00 -0400

Mary DeGrandis, the Flying Angel in the Fisherman’s Feast in 1973, was possibly the first North Ender to get viral media attention when WGBH filmed a segment about her and her family leading up to and during the feast that year. The episode re-ran on their channel regularly, and suddenly, our close-knit Boston enclave was getting national attention – with Mary, a preteen girl, at the center of it. Decades later, WGBH dug the clip out of their archives and shared it on the Internet. Once again, Mary was a viral star.

People who have seen it often comment, “what is she up to now?” Mary joins My North End: The Podcast to answer that question, and more. Still a part of our community, and still possessing that star power, Mary talks all about growing up in the North End, being the fourth generation of a Madonna Del Soccorso family, her time as the Flying Angel, how all the attention from the local and national media impacted her life, coming of age in a drastically changing Boston during the 70s, coming to embrace her proud heritage, and passing it onto the next generation. This is Part One of two very special episodes.
