That Newport Show: A podcast about Newport, Rhode Island

Winter weather sometimes limits our travel plans, but dinner out in nearby #Bristol, Rhode Island is a quick and easy trip for islanders, as well as folks in Little Compton and Tiverton. This week, we dine and dish about Christian’s on Thames Street in downtown Bristol. Christian’s is a small restaurant featuring inventive American Cuisine, with rotating menus and an emphasis on wood fired grille entrees. Listen in to find out what was good and what was not so good at this cozy spot just over the Mt Hope bridge!

The holidays are well behind us, and the whole New Year is laid out before us like an ocean of opportunity, uncertainty, and adventure. In this episode, Buck and Helena digest the huge upheavals that made 2017 a year of change, and set our sights on 2018, the year of…well, we have no idea!

Buck and Helena treated themselves to a little luxury last weekend – a shopping spree and dinner in Newport’s Washington Square, quite possibly their favorite new spot in Newport. In this episode, they dine and dish about the newly re-opened Stoneacre Brasserie.

Treating yourself every now and again is really important. Why? Well, because many of us suffer from, uhhh, our suffering. It’s ubiquitous, and it can be found in the smallest details of our lives. Follow along as Buck and Helena discuss the small ways that many of us hang on to suffering, and what it feels like when you make an effort to let go of being the victim.  Listen in!

Helena got a bit of a smackdown at work recently, and it got her thinking about what it means to be trapped with personalities that challenge yours. In this episode, she and Buck talk about a life principle they often struggle with: how to “Be in life, but not of it.” That means, when you have no choice but to engage with people who are abrasive to you, there are ways to stay just out of reach of the coarseness so it doesn’t do any real damage to your spirit. Listen in!

Despite its name, Foxhunting isn’t necessarily about foxes, nor hunting, but it is an amazing sport that honors old traditions that are carried forward to this day. Scarlet coats, tall boots, beautifully turned out horses, and even a little port wine with breakfast, make the sport of following hounds across the countryside a spectacle to remember. Buck interviews Helena this week as she recounts a joyous return to a sport she fell in love with years ago.  Plus, Buck dishes about the best black bean burger in Newport. Listen in!

Coping with our lives and struggling through the day-to-day can become a way of life without our ever really noticing it. If you’re tired of struggling and spending energy coping with life instead of enjoying it, we give you some suggestions about how to recognize when you’re coping, as well as ideas for how to go about moving on from coping to accepting or changing. The result can be the kind of emotional freedom that can’t be felt when you’re trapped in a life of coping.

Speaking of emotional freedom, Buck and Helena celebrate the “freedom” they achieved by getting married one year ago. This week’s #Dine&Dish brings us back to 41 North for another memorable meal. Listen in!

30 years ago, Buck hired a fella fresh off the boat from India. This fella had a dream. All he needed was an opportunity to get started on making that dream a reality. Buck gave him that opportunity. This past weekend, Buck and Girish reconnected over a lively dinner and some tequila at Diegos. We talked about life in the diamond industry, what truly makes America great, and that the next generation is paying close attention to what we have to share. Listen in!
