Anchored The Podcast

Hey Anchored fans, Shay here.

You may have noticed a bit of an absence from your favorite low-sodium Rhode Island podcast in the past month. Truth is, life has been a bit hard behind the scenes lately. At the end of February my father passed away and while I was able to crank out the interviews with Two Thangs and Bill Bartholomew right after, I quickly realized my heart truly wasn't ready to dedicate the necessary amount of space to Anchored as it deserves. This is the first close death I've experienced and I'm learning that the healing process takes time. That's why I've decided to take a break from Anchored for the next month or so to give myself time to heal and to remember why I love doing Anchored. It is my hope that we'll be back before the end of May and ready to tackle all the great stories Rhode Island's past and present has to offer. Until then, here are some Rhode Island-based podcasts and creators I highly recommend you give a listen to:

Our studio-mates Sex Ed Debunked by Christine and Shannon Curley,

Bartholomewtown Podcast by Bill Bartholomew,

Ray-ality TV by Raymond Baccari, and

Let's Chat Podcast with Chris Revill

And as always, don't forget to Stay Salty

This week Shay takes Bill Bartholomew, host of the conveniently-named Bartholomewtown Podcast, on a date to discuss the upcoming Rhode Island Election season. Because, after all, politicians are our celebrities in the Ocean State.

In Elise's final episode (she may or may not be running from the Feds), her and Shay look into what the f*ck St. Joseph's Day is. Spoiler: it's not the Italian version of St. Patrick's Day, despite being two days later.

Find out what a zeppole is, how to say it, and if Led Zeppole is a sweet name for a Rhode Island cover band.

This week Shay takes Matthew Brennan IV a.k.a. Two Thangs on a date to learn more about the man behind the first artist to occupy AS220's Project Space since the pandemic began. And bonus, Matthew also spent a great deal of time in Seattle, just like Shay. So automatic friendship there.

During the date you'll find out where the name Two Thangs originated from, what it's like transitioning from being a part-time to full-time artist, and whether Rainier Beer or Narragansett Lager is better.

This week Shay and Elise are taking a break basking in the tropical weather of Providence, RI in February so instead of giving you a brand new episode, we're introducing you to another Trailblaze-produced show: Sex Ed Debunked. 

Enjoy!

This week Shay and Elise make like a true crime podcast and talk about mUrDeR *knife noises* 

No, but for real-for real, this week Shay and Elise go a little rogue and talk about something that has literally nothing to do with Rhode Island aside from being recorded in Lil' Rhody.

SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRES!

Tune in. It's to die for. 

This week Shay and Elise chat about one of the most quintessential Rhode Island delicacies: coffee milk.

Listen in to find out what makes this sweet drink so important to the Lil' Rhody, where it originated from, and how our hosts feel about the drinks on a deeply spiritual level.

This week Shay and Elise navigate the ins-and-outs of one of America's most beloved rodents, Punxsutawney Phil, and the tradition surrounding his existence: Groundhog Day.

Listen to the duo talk about such subtopics as:

• Gobbler's Knob and what gobbling means
• The cinema classic and one of Shay's pain points, Groundhog Day (with Bill Murray)
• The secret society called "The Inner Circle"

This week Shay and Elise are back on another date, this time with the masterminds behind the RI Probz social media accounts: Erin and Russell Chiulli (Chew-ly)!

Listen in to join the double date (and first podcast interview for Erin and Russell) and hear how RIProbz came to be, where they get their inspiration, and what their beef with Mr. Lemon is (more on this later).

Slight digressions include, but not limited to: Russell's favorite food group, Nebraska's area code, and verifying Facebook accounts.

This week Shay and Elise answer a question we should all be asking ourselves if we plan on tuning in to HBO's  newest show: "What the F*ck Was The Gilded Age??"

Tune in as we answer ~ who ~ was involved in the Gilded Age, ~ where ~ the Gilded Age ~ was most prominent, ~ why ~ the Gilded Age happened, and ~ how ~ Rhode Island was involved.  

Make it to the end and you'll hear our take on whether the Gilded Age was messy or just misunderstood (hint: we don't agree).
