    Hey Anchored fans, Shay here.You may have noticed a bit of an absence from your favorite low-sodium Rhode Island podcast in the past month. Truth is, life has been a bit hard behind the scenes lately. At the end of February my father passed away and while I was able to crank out the interviews with Two Thangs and Bill Bartholomew right after, I quickly realized my heart truly wasn't ready to dedicate the necessary amount of space to Anchored as it deserves. This is the first close death I've experienced and I'm learning that the healing process takes time. That's why I've decided to take a break from Anchored for the next month or so to give myself time to heal and to remember why I love doing Anchored. It is my hope that we'll be back before the end of May and ready to tackle all the great stories Rhode Island's past and present has to offer. Until then, here are some Rhode Island-based podcasts and creators I highly recommend you give a listen to:Our studio-mates Sex Ed Debunked by Christine and Shannon Curley,Bartholomewtown Podcast by Bill Bartholomew,Ray-ality TV by Raymond Baccari, andLet's Chat Podcast with Chris RevillAnd as always, don't forget to Stay Salty

What we know about Sam is what we see, read, or hear in the news, so for this date, we want to get to know who he really is through typical and not-so-typical first date questions like "How did you end up in Rhode Island,"(6:25) "What's your favorite sandwich?," (8:32) and "What's the difference between a progressive Democrat and a Democrat that's a part of the Rhode Island Machine?" (32:32)Slight and totally-not-slight digressions include whether or not Sam has a car (13:15), former Mayor Walter Reynolds and the lasting effect he's had on transportation in Providence (13:57), and U.S. Supreme Court Case Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward (35:25).Links!Follow us on our social channels: Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/anchoredtheshow) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/anchoredtheshow/) Twitter (https://twitter.com/anchoredtheshow) YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_MlsoY5bHSyyxKWSivgi7Q) Senator Sam Bell's Twitter ( https://twitter.com/SamuelWBell)  Don't forget to #StaySalty!

Bush's paintings that wouldn't have gotten him into RISD, and why Elise could never be a lawyer. Notes: Don't forget to follow us on our social channels:  Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/anchoredtheshow) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/anchoredtheshow/) Twitter (https://twitter.com/anchoredtheshow)  YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_MlsoY5bHSyyxKWSivgi7Q)  Don't forget to #StaySalty!

    In this episode, Shay and Elise discuss the cutest dang airport in the nation, the dramatic, yet fairly tame Bloodless Revolution, and the unfortunate demise of Bagel Gourmet at the hands of the Brown University landspreading.  Slight and totally-not-slight digressions include barbeque sauce, Shay being Team Southwest and Elise being Team Delta and the theory that nobody actually comes from the state of Colorado.  Notes: We messed up! In this episode, we said VAN stands for Voter Access Network when it's, uh, not that. It's Voter Activation Network.  Shay promised to include a link to a brand of shoes (Romeos) that were worn in “style” where she's from, so here's that link (https://www.georgiaboot.com/romeo/georgia-giant-romeo-work-shoe/GR262.html)  Looking for more Anchored content?
