Wicked Good Bostonian #9, Butch Stearns, Boston 25

What’s a common misconception about Bostonians?

What’s your favorite thing about your job?

I love telling stories people might not know about, and try to make them care.

How did you get into the news industry?

Watching the Red Sox in the World Series as a kid I decided, “I want to be the guy talking about this excitement!”

Who is your dream interviewee?

Bruce Springsteen. I’ve always wanted to walk in his shoes.

What’s your favorite thing about the holidays?

I love spending time with my family.
