DotLife dives into the hyperlocal issues that matter most to the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. From Savin Hill to Lower Mills, Fields Corner to Port Norfolk, and everywhere in between — we bring thoughtful news, smart analysis, and real talk to the people who call Dorchester home.
Topics We Cover
Each week on DotLife, we kick things off by breaking down the top headlines from The Dorchester Reporter — your go-to source for local news.
Then we take a closer look at one big issue affecting the neighborhood. It could be anything from economic development to nightlife, dog ownership to schools, politics to local culture — no topic is too big or small if it matters to folks in Dorchester.
We wrap things up with a Tiny Dot Concert, featuring a local musician with roots in Dorchester. It’s your chance to discover fresh sounds, support homegrown talent, and get a taste of the local music scene — all without leaving your headphones.
