The Big Dig

BONUS: A note from the team

Just dropping in to share some news about the show, and what's coming next.

“This is a town where there are three pastimes: politics, sports and revenge.”  Seemingly dry topics become gripping political dramas in this Peabody Award winning show from creator Ian Coss and GBH News. Each season of “The Big Dig” uncovers a different facet of society – infrastructure, gambling, food, healthcare – together the pieces connect to tell the story of modern America.  Season One: "The Big Dig" The highway project known as “The Big Dig” is infamous – a shorthand for government failure – but it all started as one engineer’s dream to correct the wrongs of the past, and its legacy is far from simple. Season Two: "Scratch &amp; Win" America’s most successful state lottery – and its greatest innovation, the scratch ticket – all starts with mafia bookmakers and state bureaucrats going toe to toe in a battle to own the future of gambling.  --- CREDITS Producer: Isabel HibbardStory Editor: Lacy RobertsHost &amp; Creator: Ian CossExecutive Producer: Devin Maverick Robins  Contact us as <a href="mailto:thebigdig@wgbh.org">thebigdig@wgbh.org</a>
