5 stars with a request

If you’re looking for the quickest way to found out what’s going on in Rhode Island, this is the show for you. Jim Hummel is fantastic at guiding the listener through the ins and outs of all the issues that are happening in our state as well as having representation on all sides of the political spectrum.

I do have one request of the show: can we please go back to uploading the episodes once a week? Not sure when we stopped doing this but it would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work!
