One of Boston's leading talk radio show hosts will be talking, and listening, to residents in Gloucester Monday morning.

"Reese on the Radio," the 10 a.m.-to-noon show featuring host Reese Hopkins on WRKO AM-680, will broadcast its entire program Monday from George's coffee shop at the corner of Washington Street and Centennial Avenue, with the show serving as a "real Town Hall meeting" on teen pregnancy from Gloucester High to other areas of New England and beyond.

The remote show is designed to "allow listeners and local members of the community to visit Reese at the coffee shop to talk about the teen pregnancy issue," said WRKO marketing coordinator Christina Anders.

George's proprietor Dean Salah said he was contacted by WRKO and agreed to host the broadcast once coordinators noted that the show is meant to generate positive and open discussion about teen pregnancy, not negative talk about Gloucester and its teens.

Host Hopkins has dedicated parts of several programs to the Gloucester teen pregnancy issue and teen pregnancy in general since the local story broke. He has talked on the air about his own family's ties to the issue — he has a sister who was a teen mom — and has said he believes this is one issue on which talk radio can make a difference through open discussion.

The Reese on the Radio midday show regularly includes guests in the studio and on the phone, as well as phone calls from listeners. The show runs Mondays through Fridays in WRKO's 10-12 time slot, sandwiched between the likes of former State House Speaker Tom Finneran, Rush Limbaugh and Howie Carr.

Writing on the wall

Some disturbing messages have been appearing on the bathroom walls of the Dunkin Donuts on Washington Street, site of an apparent drug overdose in August, employees told police this week.

On Monday, store employees told officers someone had been writing messages on the wall to the deceased, a 31-year-old Mason Street resident. The police report did not list the content of the messages, and no suspects were named.
