Boston is about to become the center of the world — and Gabriela Salas is making sure our community is ready for every single moment of it.

In this episode of ¿Qué Pasa Boston?, host and executive producer Gabriela Salas sits down with Kate Fox, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism (MOTT), and Ángel Subero, Venezuelan musician and proud member of the legendary Boston Pops, to break down the most historic summer Massachusetts has seen in generations.

Three events. One summer. Millions of people heading straight to your city.

🗽 America’s 250th Anniversary — July 4th on the Esplanade This is not your regular Fourth of July. This year, fireworks share the sky with a breathtaking drone show — and Gabriela has everything you need to experience it right.

⚽ FIFA World Cup 2026 — Boston Is a Host City Over 3 million tourists are coming to the region. How do you get around? How do you protect and grow your business? How does your community actually benefit? It’s all in this episode.

⛵ Sail Boston 2026 More than 60 historic tall ships from around the world will dock in Boston Harbor. This is a once-in-a-generation maritime festival — and you don’t want to miss it.

In this episode, Gabriela breaks down:

✅ How to prepare for the massive influx of tourists — real logistics, not theory ✅ Which public transportation options to use on World Cup match days ✅ How to register your business for FREE at visitma.com and capitalize on the economic boom ✅ Why Latino representation in institutions like the Boston Pops matters — and what it means for our community’s future

This summer, Boston isn’t just a place. It’s an opportunity. And our community deserves to be ready.

Have you ever wondered what it costs to build a legacy that moves millions? It’s not just about talent. It’s a relentless obsession that forces you to confront the deepest, most uncomfortable parts of yourself. 

In this deeply moving and raw episode of *¿Qué Pasa Boston?*, host Gabriela Salas sits down with Peabody Award-winning podcast producer, creator, and audio visionary, Ian Coss. Known globally for his groundbreaking work on *The Big Dig* and *Forever is a Long Time*, Ian steps out from behind the mixing board to share the untold, unpolished truth about the creative process.

In a conversation that bridges radical vulnerability with profound "aha moments," we strip away the industry accolades to explore the psychology of a master storyteller. We discuss the paralyzing weight of imposter syndrome, the spiritual responsibility of telling other people's stories, and what dissecting Boston’s most infamous infrastructure project taught him about human resilience and our own psychological roadblocks. 

Whether you are a creative trying to find your voice, an entrepreneur building a brand from scratch, or someone simply seeking deeper meaning in your daily grind, this episode will fundamentally change how you listen to the world around you.

🔥 In this episode, we uncover:
* The Creative Burden: Why achieving your biggest dream can often feel like your darkest moment.
* The Art of Deep Listening: How to silence the external noise and tune into the "frequency" of your true purpose. 
* The "Big Dig" Blueprint: The brutal, untold lessons in resilience learned from unpacking the most complex public project in American history.
* The Untold Sacrifices: What it actually takes to build a Peabody-winning audio documentary from the ground up.
