  • The PERA Problem
    Jason and I have a long chat with former Executive Director of the Providence External Review Authority and future Representative of District 12 Providence, Jose Batista. We have an incredible conversation about what PERA is supposed to be and what it actually is. We discuss the complex issues surrounding police reform, and we play my very favorite game, “Dictator of Rhode Island.”

  • You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too
    In this week’s episode, we take a deep dive into the Newsmakers interview with Future Speaker Joseph Shekarchi and Future Majority Leader, Christopher Blazejewski. We talk about how this “new” leadership team is trying really hard to have their cake and eat it, too. We discuss how leaders should lead (and grow a spine at some point) and how we as Rhode Islanders are really lucky to have impeccable journalism in this state. The full interview is available here.

  • The Final Curtain
    After a stressful election night, cozy up and enjoy a big serving of schadenfreude in this bonus Can we fix it video, where we say goodbye to the clown that ran this circus, Speaker of the House Tricky Nick Mattiello. This is the last episode where we can in good conscience make fun of him before it’s just us punching down at some old man from Cranston. So enjoy a look back at my favorite Mattiello memories, and help say goodbye to our long-time villain.
