    Coffee milk: R.I. state drink is steeped in Industrial Revolution history

    We went on a field trip to the factory responsible for host Edward Fitzpatrick’s favorite drink in elementary school: coffee milk. Autocrat coffee syrup is still made at a facility in Lincoln, R.I. What started with mill workers has become a state staple. We wanted to find out what goes into getting it right - the color, the caramelized sweetness - every time. Tips and ideas? Email us at rinews@globe.com.

    The story behind the R.I. sea monster epic, 'Mother, Mother Ocean'

    We’re going back more than two decades to an iconic 2002 news story that took place on a beach in Portsmouth. 12 News’s Sean Daly reported on a couple who said they saw a sea monster, in an epic video segment known as “Mother, Mother Ocean.” Now, Frog and Toad -- a Providence gift store -- has immortalized that story with a new T-shirt and poster. Daly and Frog & Toad co-owner Asher Schofield join host Edward Fitzpatrick to talk about this piece of Rhode Island lore. Tips and ideas? Email us at rinews@globe.com.

    We’re taking a little time off for the summer, and while we’re gone, we’re re-releasing some of our favorite episodes.

    Encore: George Nee on organizing, Chavez, and an unlikely assist from the mob

    We’re taking a little time off for the summer, and while we’re gone, we’re re-releasing some of our favorite episodes. This week, we have a conversation with long-time labor organizer George Nee. When we talked to him in 2024, he’d just retired as the president of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO, so he could finally tell us an incredible story involving the mob and a lettuce boycott. Tips and ideas?

    Encore: The Mr. Lemon Family

    We’re taking a little time off for the summer, and while we’re gone, we’re re-releasing some of our favorite episodes. This week, a story about the siblings behind Mr. Lemon, the frozen lemonade stand in a tiny white building on Hawkins Street in Providence. Last year, Mr. Lemon was celebrating its 50th year in business, and we were worried it would be its last. But the stand is open again this summer!
