Waiting for our comrade/loved one to come home.

Many have tried and many have failed. Getting this movie made was a whole thing - was it worth the wait? Evan and J parse a storyline that, though written in the 60s, weirdly parallels today's literal and sociopolitical climates. Whether you prefer the 1984 psychedelic David Lynch version or the 2021 version chock-full of hot people, you know the sand worms are coming for us all.

If sometimes the audio sounds weird or choppy, we're sorry. It's one of the pitfalls of trying to record in two different parts of the world. 

In this episode without Andy, Alex and Evan talk about Russia, mask mandates, a certain quack philosopher in Rhode Island, the recent Sanches and Jones campaign videos, a school district suing a student, and some leftist ideas for valentines day.

In this episode, Evan was really tired but we pulled through. We talk about voting rights, redistricting, snow, a certain shitty public "intellectual" on a certain shitty podcast, coastal resource management scheme, and much more. Then we interview some of the lovely people at Luna Community Care! Sorry for a short discussion session.

In this episode of the Rhode Island History Podcast Alex talks to historian Keith Stokes about the history of Newport's involvement in the triangle trade and what he calls "American Irony." Newport was the largest northern hub of the slave trade, despite the fact that it promoted religious tolerance.

Welcome back ya'll! We decided to quit show notes. If you REALLY relied on the show notes, let us know, otherwise we thought it was a useless and time consuming step to uploading.

In this episode we talked about much of the news that has happened since we've been gone including cops not getting fired for being unvaccinated, the sleep-in outside the state house, student walk-outs, and redistricting.

When asked what he would buy at a gas station very late at night after hanging out with his friends, Corey provided the very unexpected answers of 1) a honey bun, and 2) gummy life-savers. See what other unexpected answers Corey is capable of, as well as the extremely fascinating and at times harrowing story of his genesis as a candidate for Ward 3. 

We'll see you all next year!

We've done it! We got introspective and reflective! One year down, many hopes and aspirations for the future. Listen to the abridged wrap-up conversation between Alex, Evan, and Andy before the December hiatus. What was successful and what will we do differently? Who will we have on next year? Which local group will Alex get into a Twitter feud with? Meet us in 2022 to find out.

Immense gratitude to everyone who we got to engage with in this last year. It's been mostly a blast and we've never felt closer to Providence. The future looks much brighter with all of you in it.

Did you know Jackie Goldman doesn't like cereal? It's just one of the many reasons to suspect that they're not of this world. 

Just kidding. We love Jackie, and we were very excited to have them on the show. We talked about vegan jewish baking, Jackie's ballet career, run-in as a non-binary candidate, and of course harm reduction!
