I’m your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embry, here for a special edition of the TMG Suite Spot Road Trip Series right down the road in our backyard in beautiful Sanford, Florida to visit the grand opening and Ribbon cutting event at the Comfort Inn and Suites Orlando Sanford Airport. We were invited to cover this celebratory event and talk to some of the instrumental individuals that made this property happen. Andre Hickman, the owner of the property, Wayne West III, president at Newport Hospitality. Adam Hill, VP of Operations at Newport Hospitality. And finally, Dena Hansen, Director of Sales at this beautiful, gorgeous new property opened up here. We had the privilege to cover it, bringing it to you in this episode in a busy hotel lobby celebrating the grand opening of this property. We hope you enjoy. Wayne West III: Well, welcome and thank you for coming to the celebration of the opening of this great hotel, the Comfort Inn and Suites. So make sure I get it right. Between Orlando Sanford Airport. Thank you very much. This hotel is a great example of what happens when you put a lot of smart people together and visionary people in a growing market like the Sanford Airport area. So thank you again, we’re, it’s great being here. Uh, my name is Wayne List. I’m the president of Newport Hospitality. We are honored that we get to operate a couple hotels for Andre Hickman, who I’ll reduce introduce in a little while. You’ll hear me use a couple, you’ll hear me overuse a couple words as I talk to you tonight. Really, really proud of the Hickman family. When you walk through the hotel and you see the amenities that he’s put here, how thoughtful he was and how intentional every decision was to be successful, and not just successful for him, but to make sure that all the guests are well taken care of at every touch point in the hotel, whether it’s the guest laundry or the cabana, or the pool or the exercise room. He was very, very thoughtful. I’ve, I’ve been blessed over the years and I’m trying to find my partner. Mike. Mike, I know you’re here, Mike. Yes, the tall one over here. Mike and I have opened up a lot of hotels in our years. Uh, I’m not sure we’ve opened up one Mike, that the owner was as thoughtful about every step along the way and cautious and careful and trying to do it just right for the long-term legacy of this hotel. So I’ll have to thank the Hickman family for that. If you look at the design, the finishes, the touch and the construction, the touch points are just incredible for a hotel. So the Hickman family, if you would kind of raise your hand, Andre and the Hickman family, a lot of them are over here. We want to thank you personally. I want to, I wanna talk a little bit about businesses in the area. Um, the airport obviously is, is booming. Uh, Boomba, which I know has been here a few years, but needed a desperately needed a hotel in the market. I spoke to someone the other day that was so excited. We had, they had a hotel in the market to use Go Port, one of our biggest clients here. Uh, really want to thank the community, the leadership of the community, the chamber, the folks that have joined us, um, the lending and financial partners, which really is a testament to, to Andre and his team and his legacy of all the development that he’s done. Uh, the folks from Choice Hotels are here. If they would raise their hand, I’ll lose you in the back. We have Joe, who is the leader of the Choice Hotel, sys the choice, comfort in hotels system. So great to have you with us. Uh, I wanna thank some people particularly too personally here. You’ve met Mike Clinger. He raised his hand. We have a lot of our people here that worked really, really hard with Andre to get this right. Andre did the hard work. We came in behind him and tried to fill in where our responsibility of opening up a great hotel. But I’ve got Sandra Lucas here. I saw Sandra and her husband, Sandra’s in charge of revenue for about two thirds or a third of our portfolio of 36 hotels. Uh, Adam, Adam, where are you? Adam Hill. Adam is the back. Adam is the vice President of operation for this hotel. Reports to Andre about the hotel. Uh, Whitney Ties is Whitney is in the back. Whitney’s our, our chief commercial officer and senior vice president, also an owner along with Mike and I, Mike Pinger. You’ve met, uh, Matthew Hoffman, who I hope all of y’all have met, is the general manager of this great hotel, the back, Dina Hansen, who everybody needs to beat tonight because we want her to book business with you. She’s our director of sales of both of our hotels. And part of the remarks I’ll make is about, you know, why Sandford, we’re the first hotel, I guess this close to the airport anyway. I know there’s a couple of other hotels in the market, but we don’t pay a lot of attention to those. I’m sorry if I’m offending some of the owners and general managers that are here, but that’s the truth. Uh, the airport’s booming. Andre’s had this in his line of sight for a long time and waited for the time to be right. Uh, it’s always difficult building a hotel. It’s always difficult putting a great amount of equity down and then a year, a year and a half of, of painful getting it to the birth thing, right? Yeah. Not nine months, but a true year and a half. So we thank you for that. We thank all of our partners that are here. Thank you very much for showing up. This hotel I mentioned a little earlier, has a lot of amenities, whether it’s our shuttle to the airport, whether it’s the outdoor pool, the cabana, um, the, if you haven’t seen the exercise room, we have 36 hotels. Many of them are larger than this. None of them has an exercise room that has the quality touches and is as large as that. We’re gonna be super attracted to sporting groups that are going to Baba. We’re excited about joining and, and partnering with them. I, I will tell you, as Andre built this hotel, it was all about the messaging of getting it right for his family, our guests, and our team members. So it wasn’t just about Andre. He really made the decisions based on what, how he’s gonna be successful here is taking great care of our guests and great care of our team members. I hope you all will come back. Join us lots and lots in your relatives here, your colleagues here, your weddings, events here. So thank you very much. It is really my honor. Now to introduce you to Andre Hickman, who is the developer of this property. Probably many of you know Andre. He, he’s done several other ventures in this market. We have another great hotel. We operate him for him in Sanford. But it really is just an honor and a pleasure to be here with y’all to do this grand opening. Uh, again, it was so thoughtful and so intentional. When you walk around, those things don’t happen by accident. Those things happen because this gentleman here was thoughtful about it and really tried to produce the best hotel he could in this market. So thank you very much. It was great talking to a lot of y’all. Tonight I’ll let Andre take takeover. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Ryan Embree here with the Suite Spot live at the grand opening of the Comfort Inn & Suites, Orlando Sanford Airport here with the owner Andre. Andre, passion project, multi-year project. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears coming. We’re here finally at the grand opening, the ribbing front. How are you feeling right now? Andre Hickman: I’m ecstatic. Yeah, it’s been a long time in the making from the first phone call to finding the property and signing the franchise and, and, uh, just very blessed to be here today. Ryan Embree: A lot of choice representation, because this is really a star property for the comfort brand. Talk to us about the words I keep hearing is intentionality, very deliberate on all the amenities where even things you were talking about in your speech over here about even where parking spaces were. Talk to us about, you know, the passion behind this project and why you wanted to make it so intentional and so deliberate. Andre Hickman: Well, it was a labor of love a lot of years in the making. Yeah. Uh, we’re near the airport and so we did a little bit of theming with the, the metal and the, and the airplane wings and the, the portico. Uh, we did a lot of extra features. We, we had another com We have another comfort in in Sanford, and I wanted to do things a little different. Yeah. And so I went bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger. So bigger pool, bigger deck, barbecue grill area, bigger lobby, taller ceilings, bigger rooms, bigger bathrooms. Um, we wanted to do a walk-in shower. I really don’t like curtains and, and glass doors. And I said, you know, if we can make a, a walk-in shower and a comfort in, that’d be quite a feat. And so a lot of design work, and we’re really pleased with how it came out. Ryan Embree: Yeah. I love doing these types of episodes and grand openings and talking to owners like yourself because you don’t get these stories sometimes in the background of the labor of love, like you speak of in the background. Now I’m a resident of Seminole County, here in Oviedo, but we’re here in Sanford, just right up the road, yet a couple Sanford City officials here, also welcoming this new business. Talk about, uh, the special place in your heart and location. Just, just a couple miles from the airport closest actually to the airport right now. Andre Hickman: We’re very fortunate to have county and city commissioners here today. Several choice representatives. Flew in to see the new hotel. Uh, we’re here by the airport. We had some airport folks here. It’s, uh, quite a, quite a unique spot because we’re located almost halfway between the Sanford Airport entrance as well as the Boomba Sports Complex. Yeah. And I think we’re in a unique spot to, to hopefully capture, uh, visitors from both those markets. Ryan Embree: Absolutely. That’s what you want. And it is the, uh, be able to attract all in every segment. Um, congratulations here on this project, Andre. Again, labor of love. It turned out perfect. We’ll let you get back to your grand opening party. Thank you so much for visiting with us. Andre Hickman: Thank you. Speaker 4: Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. We are here at the grand opening at the Comfort Inn and Suites, Orlando Sanford Airport here with Wayne West, the third. Wayne, we saw you out in Hunter a couple years, uh, weeks, months ago. In Atlanta. Here we are in Sanford, Florida. Beautiful property opening up here. Tell us a little bit about this project. Wayne West III: Well, this is the second project for this owner we’ve operated for, for 25 years. Great owner. Takes great care of the guest, take great care of my team members, and obviously build a beautiful hotel. And the word I will use for Andre Hickman, the owner developer, is that it was so thoughtful about this property and every little nuance of it is intentional to take great care of the guest. Whether it’s a sports team coming into the boom by complex, or whether it’s distressed gas staying at the airport, which is only quarter of a mile away, the airport entrance. He was just so intentional and so thoughtful about every aspect of the property at his own expense. Yeah. He really put a lot more into this than the typical choice hotel. Ryan Embree: We talked right now, we talked at Hunter about, right now it’s about strategic growth for Newport and it needs to be the right partner. Wayne West III: Yeah. Ryan Embree: Why was this project and this owner the right project for you at Newport? Wayne West III: Well, actually we’ve been blessed enough to, to work for Andre for 25 years. When he started talking about this three years ago, he involved us from the very beginning. He was, he would come out to the site and look at it. He would talk about what the drivers were going to be, what he wanted to do to take care of those drivers. And frankly, he needed to be financially successful, but he’s put a tremendous amount of equity time and energy and effort into this to get to this product. Yeah. So he is a perfect partner for us. He’s a perfect partner for Seminole County. He’s a perfect partner for all the business around him. Ryan Embree: It’s absolutely beautiful property. Very unique. Like I said in his speech, he was actually talking about, you know, using some dry erase on some parking lots. That’s how, you know, how intentional and deliberate each decision there. We love that in hospitality, right. ’cause sometimes now they get accused of just the big box hotel. This certainly doesn’t fit that bill. Wayne West III: No. And I think if you would talk to the choice people, this is the showcase for them though. This is an example of an owner that did it right.And in some cases, what above and beyond their brand standards, just to make sure the guests are taken great care of. Ryan Embree: Love to see it, continue to see those guest expectations elevated and love to see. Can’t wait to see the feedback that everyone gets. Appreciate you taking the time to spend some time. Wayne West III: Great to do that. Thank you again. Good being with you. Ryan Embree: Thank you. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Ryan Embree here with the Suite Spot at the Comfort Inn & Suites Orlando Sanford Airport here with Adam. Adam, thank you so much for taking the time. Wonderful project, beautiful property. Just spoke to Wayne about really the high level relationship between ownership and Newport Hospitality Group. You’re the boots on the ground. You’re a little bit closer to the project. Talk to us a little bit about the story. ’cause it, you know, it didn’t just spread out of the ground. That’s a labor of love, right? Adam Hill: This project is probably 10 plus years in the making. I mean, the Hickman family, started one of the drawing board literally over 10 plus years ago. It’s one of our longest standing partners. They’ve been with Newport for almost 30 years. So for them to take this and do it, I mean, Andre painstakingly worked over the plans. They were written. I came on board about three years ago. And I was like, we’re never gonna get this over the finish line. So then we went from the site and we started with moving some dirt excavating, getting the walls up, moving it. And I mean, the project has just come to life in the last two and a half years. It’s ridiculous. But I mean, just to see all the love and hard work that the Hickman family have put into it is just amazing. This is probably the best choice product out there. You’re not gonna see a Comfort Inn like this. It’s very unique for 107 rooms, all the square footage, every room is meticulously designed to be exceptional. Ryan Embree: Absolutely an incredible story. A beautiful property here. 10 plus years in a challenging environment. Right now for hospitality. Talk to us about, you know, having that communication with ownership with the contractors, making sure even the GM, the agent, the director of sales, who’s probably planning these rooms before the hotel’s even open, trying to get some groups in here. So talk us through a little bit about that process and how that communication is key to. Adam Hill: So I think we’re very fortunate in this market. I mean, like I said, we’ve been here almost 30 years. We’ve established great grounds, great roots with the businesses that are here. We knew that the businesses were gonna grow. Even during COVID, this hotel did not suffer. I mean, this hotel did extremely well. And they’re talking about our sister hotel in the market. But, so when we knew when this room was gonna be built, we knew with Boomba right here, the airport growing, there was an opportunity. We seized that opportunity. I know there’s several other hotel projects that were planned. They’ve never got off the ground. We got this off the ground and I mean, we were able to get the financing behind it. We were able to get a solid GC that had never built a hotel before. And I mean, this is a hotel that a GC did not ever built. So I mean, it was a very, like, the stars aligned. We got a perfect team. So just tremendously happy with how it happened. Ryan Embree: The excitement was matched. We had a couple representatives from the city of Sanford talking about this property and it was equally matched because they’re excited about the airport being right here. And that’s gotta be great for the location. How is that kind of working with the city in tandem with them to help a project like this move across the finish line? Adam Hill: So I, again, our partnership extends beyond just the Newport team. So Dena serves on the Seminole County Chamber of Commerce board of Directors. We have Andre who serves on the sports district for Seminole County, so forth. So we’re very connected. We’re a very community partner. We make sure that we’re very active in our community by giving back. So, I mean, that’s opened a lot of doors for us too, where we don’t really have a major challenge of getting our head in with city leaders. ’cause we give back at the communities that we work in. Ryan Embree: Love that. That’s hospitality at its core, right? So, Adam, appreciate it. Congratulations on the property. Congratulations on the project. Biggest celebration for you as well. We’ll let you get back to it. Thank you so much for joining us. Adam Hill: Thank you. I appreciate it. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Ryan Embree here with the Suite Spot at the beautiful Comfort Inn and Suites Orlando Sanford Airport here with Dena, Director of Sales. You have now become the envy of every director of sales in this area. ’cause you have the nicest, most beautiful property here. Thank you for having us at your grand opening and ribbon cutting. Talk to us about this passion project. It’s just absolutely gorgeous here. Here we are in the lobby. Dena Hansen: Thank you. Well, thank you for coming and celebrating with us. Our property has really been built and created by design for those travelers coming in, not only for cruises, but the sports teams that are traveling in. We are about a mile from Boombah Sports Complex, and they have a lot of different tournaments, whether it’s baseball, lacrosse, field hockey, so lots of comfort here. We have 107 rooms. Most of them are double queens. Again, thinking of those families coming in, and I like to say it’s like Texas over here. Everything’s bigger. The pool is bigger, the deck is bigger. There’s a cabana with some lounge seating. There are two barbecue grills with patio seats as well. So if you don’t wanna go out and spend that money on food at a restaurant, uh, you’re welcome to go to Publix, which is two miles down the road, grab some food and just grill it up and have a good time. Ryan Embree: What type of traveler segment are you really getting interest from and like, inquiries for groups? Dena Hansen: Yeah. So in the beginning, a lot of wedding blocks, a lot of reunions, obviously a lot of sports blocks coming in for boombah but most recently the word has gotten out from corporate companies and they’re wanting some corporate rates. They wanna utilize our meeting space. So it’s, it’s kind of ebbs and ebb and flows a little bit. But very exciting. Ryan Embree: This location has really been starved for something here. We had a couple of city officials here that were talking about this and so happy they were equally as excited to be opening this up because the airport is growing so much. What is some of the feedback that you’ve been hearing? You’ve already have some guests in here we’ve seen coming in and out of the lobby doors. What is some of the feedback that you’ve been hearing so far from maybe the individual travelers and then maybe some of the groups that you’ve hosted here as well? Dena Hansen: Yeah. So positive feedback all around. I don’t think I’ve heard one negative thing about the hotel. They enjoy the space. They love the pool area, especially for families that have littles. There’s a sun shelf on the pool. So it’s easier for them to watch the kids. Just the extra space and how wide and open and comforting everything is is amazing. Somebody actually said they love our sheets. Ryan Embree: Okay. Yeah. That’s a new one too. Awesome. Well, I wanna wrap up by just talking about maybe the relationship that as a DOS you gotta have really good relationships and connections with local businesses. Obviously the community. Seminole County, I’m a resident of Seminole County, right down the road. So, talk to us a little bit about how you’ve been able to build those and give back to the community and how they’ve supported you, and vice versa. Dena Hansen: Yeah. So, not only are we a part of both Seminole County Chamber and the Sanford Chamber. I’m on the board of Directors for the Sanford Chamber as well. And doing that it is really all about building the relationships, maintaining contact and just helping each other out and partnering together. That’s really what it’s about. So if, if they need a meeting space, we actually house the Sanford Chamber breakfast, weekly breakfast meetings for Q3. We’ll be here every Wednesday from 7:30AM – 9:00AM. Shameless plug. But yeah, relationship building, it’s mandatory. Nobody wants to do business with somebody you don’t know. You wanna know that you’re gonna be taken care of. And when you walk through those doors, I guarantee you from the moment you step through to the moment you leave, we have you. Ryan Embree: That’s hospitality. Dena Hansen: Living hospitality at its best at Comfort Inn & Suites Orlando Sanford Airport. Ryan Embree: Dena, thank you so much. Thank you. Congratulations. We’ll let you get back to the party here. Thank you. And celebrate this incredible property. Dena Hansen: Thank you very much.

Among Langford's musical side projects have been the Three Johns (with John Hyatt and John (Phillip) Brennan), who released several albums of drum-machine-fueled punk in the 1980s; the country-punk Waco Brothers (with Dean Schlabowske, Tracey Dear, Alan Doughty, Mark Durante, and Mekons drummer Steve Goulding), who have been recording since 1995; the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, a revolving assortment of Chicago musicians who have backed both Langford and other musicians such as Kelly Hogan; and Ship and Pilot. He became a father figure to the local music scene, encouraging many of his labelmates on Bloodshot Records and championing anyone he thought worthy of scrutiny, often lending his services as a musician or visual artist or inviting local musicians to guest on his releases. Langford's first official solo album, Skull Orchard, a look back at his hometown of Newport, Wales, was released in 1998. He followed it with All the Fame of Lofty Deeds, in 2004, Gold Brick in 2006, and Old Devils in 2010. Langford is an accomplished artist and is renowned for his multi-layered paintings of famous and forgotten figures from the dawn of country music. Nashville Radio, a collection of his artwork and writings, was published in 2006. In January and February 2009, Chicago's Walkabout Theater Company and Collaboraction premiered a stage adaptation of Langford's Goldbrick that featured a live band, two actors and video projections. In November and December 2009, The House Theatre of Chicago staged a production of “All the Fame of Lofty Deeds”, written by rock journalist Mark Guarino and based on Langford's art and 2004 solo album. Collaborations with other musicians Langford initiated a project, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, which performs the music of other country music groups. Several alternative country musicians have guested on these recordings. Langford has guested on numerous recordings, including with Dutch punk band the Ex, The Old 97s, Chip Taylor, as well as Austin, Texas legend Alejandro Escovedo, and has recorded joint albums with Sally Timms, Kevin Coyne, Richard Buckner, Kat Ex and Rosie Flores.

On this Tuesday episode, Dylan is joined by Rhode Island's very own Rosie DiMare to break down the RHORI “slam pig” fallout, the notes app rumors, and her escalating feud with Kelsey. She opens up about the Newport trip tension, why she says she has receipts for everything heading into the reunion, and what it's been like adjusting to fame overnight. Plus, she reacts to Rulla's mistress scandal, social media backlash, and why she believes viewers should be paying closer attention to Liz as the season spirals further.

Episode 7 picks up on day two at Seaview Terrace, and the Newport trip is somehow getting messier by the minute. But the emotional center of the episode belongs to Jo‑Ellen, who opens up about her painful childhood during a raw, unexpected heart‑to‑heart with Alicia on the Cliff Walk. And just when the group thinks the day might calm down, Jo‑Ellen receives shocking video evidence that Brian is cheating on Rulla — a bombshell that leaves the entire cast stunned and wondering who's going to tell her first. Support the show

Episode 6 delivers the first official cast trip of the season — and the vibes are chaotic before the Rolls Royce's even pull up to the mansion. In this week's recap, I'm breaking down Kelsey's shocking breakup text that sends the entire group buzzing, Liz stepping in as emotional support, and the women heading to a 29‑bedroom Newport estate where the drama follows them room to room. But the real fracture forms between Kelsey and Rosie, whose feud goes from simmering to explosive as accusations fly, alliances harden, and the cast splits cleanly down the middle. By the time the midseason trailer rolls, it's clear: the Ocean State is done pretending to play nice. 

Episode 5 takes the women out on the water, but the vibes are anything but smooth sailing. In this week's recap, I'm diving into the simmering tensions that follow the group onto the schooner — from Kelsey and Rosie's still‑brewing Instagram drama to Jo‑Ellen arriving with yet another round of “receipts” about Brian's alleged affair.  The episode ends with Jo‑Ellen confronting Rulla and Brian at the Newport polo match, dropping fresh Instagram evidence that Brian spent the morning holding hands with the alleged mistress — a reveal that leaves the entire group stunned and the affair rumors impossible to ignore. 

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, FEATURING JIM MCTAGUE, 5-21-2026.1943 TOJO TOURS THE PHILIPPINE OCCUPYING FORCE.In the source transcript, Jim McTague discusses a "wonderful book about Ford in his early days" that was published in 1954. While the transcript identifies the author as "Alan Nevins," this is a phonetic error or misstatement; the actual author of the definitive biography of Henry Ford published in 1954 is the historian Allan Nevins.The following details regarding this reference are found in the sources: Availability: McTague notes that the book has been long out of print and that he was only able to find a copy through a used book website called Alibris. Content: The book covers the early period of the automobile industry, describing how the technology was initially embraced by the wealthy (such as those in Newport, Rhode Island) before Ford's innovations brought it to the masses. Historical Context: McTague uses the insights from this biography to draw parallels between the "creative explosion" of the horseless carriage era and the current cycle of AI development. He characterizes Ford during the period described in the book as an "internal combustion engine nerd" who was focused on scientific competition rather than just the accumulation of wealth.

Guest: Lynne Tungett, Publisher & Editor, Newport This Week 1. The Status of Thompson Middle School (TMS) The Background: Broad community and administrative discussions have surrounded the structural and academic future of Thompson Middle School. The 5th-Grade Pivot: The Newport School Committee recently reversed a controversial January decision to move 5th graders back to Pell Elementary School. The reversal keeps the 5th grade at Thompson for the 2026–2027 academic year, highlightening deep structural, enrollment, and behavioral debates over how to utilize the district's footprints. The Long-Term Capital Question: Rhode Island School Building Authority officials have previously noted that while significant TMS renovations occurred roughly 20 years ago, a completely new middle school will eventually be needed. 2. The Tie-In to Newport-Middletown Regionalization The Failed 2022 Merger: In November 2022, Middletown voters overwhelmingly approved a unified school district proposal, but the measure failed because Newport voters rejected it by a narrow margin of roughly 400 votes. The Cost of Disunity: Had regionalization passed, the state's School Building Authority would have reimbursed up to 80% of construction costs for a new middle school. Without a unified district, Newport faces a steep financial climb for future capital improvements while bearing the independent bond burden of the new Rogers High School project. Stalled Progress in 2026: Despite the formation of a joint advisory commission (the AIAC) earlier this year to restart conversations, the committee has sat dormant and missed critical formatting deadlines. Both Newport and Middletown are currently moving forward with independent school budgets for the upcoming year, making a regionalization question on the November 2026 ballot highly unlikely. Leadership Limbo: The lack of structural clarity on regionalization continues to impact day-to-day operations, including Newport's decision to hire an interim superintendent rather than a permanent replacement ahead of Supt. Colleen Burns Jermain's retirement in June. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1. The Thompson Middle School Crisis & District Oversight The Platform of Transparency: Cullen was elected to the School Committee on a platform of bringing fresh energy, rigorous questioning, and balancing what she termed an "imbalance in decision-making" between the administration and the committee. The 5th-Grade Pivot: How does she view the committee’s recent reversal keeping the 5th grade at Thompson Middle School? This situation highlights her broader campaign push for a more integrated, proactive strategic planning process rather than reactionary shuffling of student populations. The Facility Reality: As a fourth-generation Newporter whose son attended Thompson, Cullen has a deep personal connection to the district's footprint. With the Rhode Island School Building Authority signaling that a new middle school is the ultimate long-term necessity, what is her realistic timeline for addressing TMS’s structural future? 2. The Regionalization Roadblock & Economic Realities The Cost of Going it Alone: Cullen has consistently advocated for getting the School Committee and the City Council on the exact same page financially. With regionalization dead in the water for the November 2026 cycle and the joint advisory commission (AIAC) stalled, how does Newport shoulder the independent bond burdens of the new Rogers High School while staring down a future middle school build? An Integrated Vision for Aquidneck Island: Cullen has long championed unconventional, localized approaches to education—specifically integrating STEAM initiatives with Newport’s local architecture, maritime assets, and the Blue Economy. How can the district implement these forward-thinking vocational pathways (like reviving marine tech) if it remains siloed from Middletown and constrained by duplicate administrative costs? 3. Committee vs. Administration Friction: School Access & Safety The "Fundamental Disagreement" over Security: Cullen recently brought internal administrative tension into the public eye following a sharp disagreement at an April meeting regarding security protocols at the new Rogers High School. The Core Issue: Cullen characterized a secondary entrance layout as a design flaw and argued that School Committee members face "artificial barriers" when trying to perform on-site oversight, noting she was met with a chilly reception by staff despite having an appointment. She proposed badges/technology for committee members to ease access. The Pushback: The proposal drew significant pushback from Chair James Dring and other members over liability, safety protocols, and proper channels (with assertions that all visits should clear the Superintendent's office first). Oversight vs. Boundary Lines: Cullen points directly to the independent safety report issued by former State Police Col. Steven O’Donnell, arguing that improved communication and coordination are required to fix long-ignored systemic failures. This clash underscores her broader critique that the committee's oversight of the superintendent has been lax for years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then, he catches up on Southern Hospitality, where Emmy is still crashing out weekly, and RHOA, where Cynthia is putting in the hard work to get the girls into shape. Finally, Dylan chats about Real Housewives of Rhode Island, and whether Rosie and Kelsey's armistice from the Newport trip will last.

Monday-morning Bravo news is in! Sierra Miller landing Love Island USA: After Sun (and joking she's DWTS-bound), the Jen Fessler/West rumor fallout punctuated by mysterious cartwheel emojis, and a flood of renewals/premiere dates that has them feeling schedule-whiplash. They spiral (comedically) over Madison LeCroy and Heather Gay's daughter Georgia popping up in “Micro Dramas,” side-eye a new Vanderpump Las Vegas series with Villa-burned skepticism, and pitch “Secret Lives: Texas Wives” as Dallas leftovers meets trad-wife Yellowstone energy. Then they jump into Rhode Island eps 6–7 with strong takes: Kelsey's breakup feels strategic-but-smart, Jo Ellen's childhood story is gutting, the Newport “cast trip” is hilariously local, the masquerade masks and lash flattening are a mess, Ashley's constant crying reads like anxiety/hormones, and Rula's “mystery virus + rescue” edit screams convenient cover-up—especially once the alleged barista tea and affair receipts hit.BORN SHOES Go to https://www.bornshoes.com/  today for a 15% discount plus free ground shipping on all full-price shoes when you use my promo code DRAMA for 15% off and free shipping available exclusively to our listeners for just a limited timeLUMI GUMMIES Lumi Gummies are available nationwide!

Tara MacKillup is here from NFI North.  Tara introduced her organization, which began in Massachusetts in 1974 and expanded to New Hampshire in 1992. The agency was founded with the mission of helping people with mental illness transition out of institutions and receive community-based care at home.  Tara explained NFI North's mission to provide community-based residential treatment for adults with mental illness, operating two five-bed programs in Newport and preparing to open a 16-bed program soon. She discussed how the organization aims to move people out of institutional settings and into community living, noting that while attitudes toward mental health have improved since the 1970s, stigma still exists. Tara emphasized that many people with mental illness can live and work in the community when properly supported and medicated.  Tara discussed an upcoming job fair at the CoWorks office in Newport on Thursday from 11 AM to 4 PM, where NFI North will be recruiting for various positions including management, clinicians, direct service roles, and nursing. The organization offers competitive benefits including medical, dental, vision insurance, domestic partner coverage, and paid time off, and has been voted the best place to work in New Hampshire and Maine for five consecutive years. Tara explained that NFI North operates residential treatment programs across the state, including Newport, Boscawen, Concord, and soon Nashua, with a focus on providing wraparound services for adults, youth, and families.

Jeff North is here as we talk about his first term as a Selectman in Newport, the election tomorrow, what he is hearing from people, what he loves about Newport, why he is running for re-election, and more.

There are places in Ireland that ask travelers to slow down, look around, and settle into the rhythm of a place instead of rushing through a checklist. Clare Island and Clew Bay in County Mayo are exactly that kind of destination. Just off the coast near Westport, Clare Island offers dramatic landscapes, deep history, welcoming locals, and experiences that feel personal rather than polished for crowds. During a visit to the island, Clare Island Whiskey founder Carl O'Grady shared why this corner of Mayo leaves such a lasting impression on travelers. This article is based on podcast episode 339 featuring Carl O'Grady, owner of Clare Island Whiskey and resident of Clare Island.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Why Clare Island and Clew Bay Are Perfect for Slow Travel in Ireland For many visitors, an Ireland itinerary follows the well-known route through Dublin, Cork, Kerry, Galway, and the Cliffs of Moher. But County Mayo offers something quieter and more intentional. Carl describes the area as a place where travelers can reconnect with Ireland's stories, landscapes, and communities without feeling rushed. Instead of racing between attractions, visitors are encouraged to spend time exploring villages, talking with locals, and experiencing daily life along the Wild Atlantic Way. The journey itself becomes part of the experience. Reaching Clare Island requires a ferry crossing from Roonagh Pier, a short trip that immediately creates a sense of leaving the mainland behind and arriving somewhere distinct. What Makes Clare Island Different Unlike some of Ireland's busier offshore islands, Clare Island remains small and quiet. The island is about five miles long and home to roughly 100 year-round residents. That smaller scale means visitors won't find large crowds or packed tour groups. Instead, they'll discover: Scenic walking trails Quiet beaches Dramatic cliffs Local pubs with music sessions Historical sites connected to Grace O'Malley Opportunities to connect directly with local businesses and guides The island's slower pace is part of its appeal. Exploring Clew Bay from Westport Westport makes an excellent base for exploring Clew Bay and the wider Mayo region. With major updates underway at Westport Estate, the area is becoming an even stronger destination for travelers looking to stay longer in the west of Ireland. From Westport, visitors can easily explore: The Great Western Greenway cycling route Beaches near Louisburgh Croagh Patrick Achill Island Oyster experiences in Clew Bay Sea safaris along the Mayo coastline Clare Island ferry excursions Plan Your Trip, Not Just Your Stops Articles like this highlight a few great options — but they're just a small part of what Ireland offers. The Ireland Travel Compass brings together hundreds of places across the country and helps you understand how to combine them into a trip that feels balanced and easy to navigate. Explore the Ireland Travel Compass Experiences Around Clew Bay Carl highlighted several memorable experiences visitors should consider while exploring the area. Cycle the Great Western Greenway The Greenway follows a former railway line from Westport through Newport and onward toward Achill. Along the route, travelers pass through villages, coastal scenery, and quiet countryside that showcase everyday life in Mayo. Taste Local Seafood Clew Bay is known for exceptional oysters and seafood experiences. Visitors can learn about oyster farming, taste fresh oysters, and enjoy the bay's connection to the Atlantic. Take a Sea Safari Boat trips around Clare Island and the Mayo coastline offer views of towering sea cliffs, seabird colonies, and marine wildlife. Depending on the season, visitors may spot basking sharks, whales, dolphins, and seabirds along the coast. Visit Mayo's Beaches The beaches near Louisburgh and along the Clew Bay coastline are among the most beautiful in Ireland, offering long stretches of sand and incredible Atlantic views without large crowds. Grace O'Malley's Legacy on Clare Island Travelers arriving on Clare Island are greeted by Grace O'Malley's castle overlooking the harbor. Known as the Pirate Queen of Connacht, Grace O'Malley remains one of Ireland's most fascinating historical figures. Carl recommends Anne Chambers' book on Grace O'Malley for anyone interested in learning more about her life and influence. Historic Sites on Clare Island Beyond the castle, the island offers several important historical landmarks. Clare Island Abbey The 12th-century abbey contains rare medieval ceiling paintings dating to the 13th and 14th centuries. The abbey remains one of the island's most significant cultural sites and offers insight into centuries of island life. The Lighthouse The Clare Island Lighthouse has been restored into a unique accommodation experience overlooking the Atlantic. Carl's uncle served as the last lighthouse keeper there during the 1960s. Today, visitors can stay at the lighthouse while enjoying panoramic views of Clew Bay, Croagh Patrick, and the Mayo coastline. Clare Island Whiskey and Supporting the Island Community One of the island's most distinctive visitor experiences is Clare Island Whiskey. Carl explained that the goal is not mass production or global expansion. Instead, the focus is on creating a meaningful experience tied directly to the island and its future. Visitors can join whiskey tastings, learn about the island's history, and meet the people behind the business. The experience reflects the island's overall philosophy of thoughtful tourism and supporting local communities. Staying on Clare Island Visitors have several accommodation options on the island, including: Boutique guesthouses Bed and breakfasts Lighthouse stays Group accommodations Retreat-style experiences For families or multigenerational groups, staying overnight allows time to fully appreciate the island after day visitors depart. Planning a Visit to Clare Island Getting to Clare Island is relatively simple, but it does require a bit more planning than other destinations along the Wild Atlantic Way. Ferries depart from Roonagh Pier near Louisburgh, and weather conditions can occasionally affect crossings during winter months. That extra effort is part of what keeps Clare Island feeling authentic and connected to its community roots. Travelers who make the journey are rewarded with dramatic scenery, meaningful history, and the kind of welcome that leaves a lasting impression long after the ferry returns to the mainland.

The vibes are high for this week's recap episode, and Dylan starts by digging into some updates from around the reality TV universe. Whitney's leaving MomTok (for good this time), Martha Stewart is filming for RHONY, and someone is getting a little too much credit as a Reality Mastermind… Moving on, Dylan is on cloud nine recapping this week's RHOA, with an epic argument between Angela and Pinky that feels like a true return to form. He then breaks down part three of the RHOBH reunion, and takes a hard look at where the franchise goes from here. Later, he gets into RHORI's trip to Newport, and the latest Amanda/West red flags on Summer House.

In the end they had a four-point cushion, but Newport County certainly put their fans through wringer in avoiding relegation from the Football League. Two consecutive wins - for the first time this season, and both coming from behind - ensured their survival. How's that for grit and determination? But how can the club avoid another fight for survival next season? And will manager Christian Fuchs be around to build on his early promise?One goal was all that separated Wrexham from the Championship play-offs. They had their chances to beat Middlesbrough in the final game of the season, but the unrelenting rise up the divisions has come to a stop... for now. Is it inevitable, given the ambitions of the owners, that the club will reach the Premier League within the next three seasons?And after Sam brought down the curtain on a 20-year playing career on Saturday, he talks us through the emotions of his final appearance as a professional footballer...and how a 92-year-old Burnley fan made sure he was at Gillingham to say goodbye to his favourite player for the last time. It's "garden centres and school runs" for him now.

Episode Description:In this From the Archive episode, James talks with Cal Newport about a simple but uncomfortable idea: most people are working hard on the wrong things.Newport breaks down the difference between deep work—focused, cognitively demanding effort that produces rare and valuable output—and shallow work, which fills time but doesn't move the needle. In a world engineered to fragment attention, the ability to focus without distraction is becoming both rarer and more valuable.The conversation moves from theory to application. Newport explains why “follow your passion” is misleading, how career capital actually drives opportunity, and why deliberate practice—not repetition—is what builds real skill. The thread tying it together is practical: if you want meaningful work and success, you have to train your ability to concentrate and aggressively eliminate distractions.What makes this episode useful is that it reframes productivity entirely. It's not about working more hours or hustling harder—it's about doing fewer things, better, with full attention.What You'll Learn:Why becoming “so good they can't ignore you” is more reliable than chasing passionThe difference between deep work and shallow work—and why most people overvalue the latterHow career capital (rare and valuable skills) creates leverage for autonomy and successWhy deliberate practice—not repetition—is the fastest path to masteryHow attention residue and constant distraction quietly destroy cognitive performanceTimestamped Chapters:[02:00] The attention economy and why distraction is engineered[02:17] The “deep life” and prioritizing focus[03:01] Why success comes from rare and valuable output[04:16] Why better content beats growth hacks[05:00] “Be so good they can't ignore you” explained[05:57] Why deep work is becoming rare—and valuable[06:29] The Steve Martin story and mastery over shortcuts[08:08] Innovation only happens at the cutting edge[09:00] Why passion is often discovered, not predefined[10:00] Passion follows skill—not the other way around[11:11] Career capital: what it is and why it matters[13:00] How to build leverage in your career[14:53] Real-world example: designing a flexible life through skill[16:00] Deliberate practice vs repetition[17:34] Why discomfort is required for improvement[19:50] The cost of distraction and attention fragmentation[20:20] The “deep life” as an intentional lifestyle[21:21] Why eliminating low-value communication matters[23:25] Training focus as a skill, not a habit[25:00] Fighting your brain and attention residue[27:00] How deep work actually improves output[30:12] Balancing academic work and writing[32:00] Why audience engagement has diminishing returns[34:00] The danger of the “any benefit” mindset[36:00] Why busyness is not productivity[38:00] Limits of deep work and cognitive intensity[39:25] Embracing boredom to retrain attention[41:05] The future of knowledge work[42:20] Goals vs process: a historical perspective[44:29] Why biographies teach excellence best[45:07] Teddy Roosevelt as a deep work example[46:43] Deep work as a “superpower”[47:15] Handling disappointment through craft[48:22] Passion follows skill—final takeawayAdditional Resources:Deep WorkSo Good They Can't Ignore YouCal Newport's official websiteLittle Bets by Peter SimsThe Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund MorrisSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
