A Revolutionary War hero's home… and a haunting that never surrendered. Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger step inside the historic Nathanael Greene Homestead in Coventry, Rhode Island—a grand Colonial mansion built in 1770 that once stood as the heart of an iron forge empire. But behind its proud history lies a darker legacy. From phantom footsteps echoing down empty halls to the scent of smoke with no fire, and shadows that move when no one's there—something restless still walks these floors. Is it General Greene himself… or one of the many souls touched by triumph and tragedy within these walls? History lingers here—and some say it never left.

An ambitious genre-crossing exploration of Black speculative imagination, The Dark Delight of Being Strange: Black Stories of Freedom (Columbia University Press 2024) combines fiction, historical accounts, and philosophical prose to unveil the extraordinary and the surreal in everyday Black life.In a series of stories and essays, James B. Haile, III, traces how Black speculative fiction responds to enslavement, racism, colonialism, and capitalism and how it reveals a life beyond social and political alienation. He re-envisions Black technologies of freedom through Henry Box Brown's famed escape from slavery in a wooden crate, fashions an anticolonial “hollow earth theory” from the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, and considers the octopus and its ability to camouflage itself as a model for Black survival strategies, among others. Looking at Black life through the lens of speculative fiction, this book transports readers to alternative worlds and spaces while remaining squarely rooted in present-day struggles. In so doing, it rethinks historical and contemporary Black experiences as well as figures such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Henry Dumas, and Toni Morrison.Offering new ways to grasp the meanings and implications of Black freedom, The Dark Delight of Being Strange invites us to reimagine history and memory, time and space, our identities and ourselves. Winner, 2025 Hugh J. Silverman Book Prize, Association for Philosophy and Literature Finalist, 2025 PEN America Open Book Award James B. Haile III is a Professor of English & Philosophy at the University of Rhode Island. You can find him at the University of Rhode Island Philosophy Department website. You can find the host, Sullivan Summer, online, on Instagram, and at Substack, where she and Dr. Haile continue their conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pawtucket got a recent lift when the city's newish soccer team, Rhode Island FC, played to a sold-out crowd during the home opener at the new stadium there. There are plans for new housing to be built near the Centerville Bank Stadium and boosters of the stadium hope it will catalyze more growth. But Pawtucket has also wrestled with challenges in recent years, including the loss of the PawSox and the closing of Memorial Hospital. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is causing uncertainty for the state budget outlook as lawmakers approach the end of the legislative session. And the state Senate is working to make up for lost time after a recent change in leadership. Big issues hang in the balance, including a proposed ban on new sales of assault style weapons and a potential tax hike on Rhode Island's richest one percent. So how's the outlook amid uncertainty in DC? And does the new soccer stadium signal brighter days for Pawtucket? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in depth with Pawtucket state Senator Meghan Kallman.

On this episode, we dig into a haunting from Woonsocket, Rhode Island—a city with a past steeped in the remnants of the American industrial age. A cramped family home becomes the epicenter of something deeply unsettling, divided between a playful spirit below and a sinister presence above. What begins with laughter in the basement slowly spirals into something far more disturbing, especially for the women who dare to stay the night.   As we unravel the first-hand account of a man still living in that very house, we explore the psychological fractures caused by repeated encounters, and a lingering question that chills the core: What happened between the girl in the basement... and the man who won't stop staring from the doorway?

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHave you ever witnessed something seemingly ordinary that suddenly strikes you as deeply strange? That's exactly how this episode begins—with a curious observation about a man spraying chemicals on a lawn without proper equipment, sparking questions about environmental safety and everyday awareness.The conversation quickly shifts to alarming territory as we explore a shocking case from Texas involving a mother who allegedly purchased weapons and military gear for her young son, encouraging his disturbing plan to commit violence at his middle school. With details about impromptu explosives and ammunition found by the grandmother, this story raises profound questions about parental responsibility and the early warning signs of potential violence.We also dive into the controversial decision by Providence, Rhode Island officials to fly the Palestinian flag at City Hall. This exploration of national symbols and government representation challenges our understanding of appropriate flag displays and what they communicate about our values and priorities as communities. Should government buildings display anything beyond American and state flags? The debate continues to divide opinions across the political spectrum.On a lighter but equally bizarre note, we share the story of a $640 Trump-themed watch that arrived with a manufacturing defect—missing the critical "T" to spell "RUMP" instead. This consumer complaint highlights the peculiar intersection of political merchandise, quality control, and customer service in our increasingly polarized marketplace.Throughout these seemingly disconnected stories runs a common thread about American identity, values, and the strange reality we navigate daily. What do these incidents reveal about our society? How should we respond to the bizarre and concerning events happening around us?

Also which couple is celebrating a nine year anniversary? And yes, they're high school sweethearts. Dre recounts saving a man's life (well not technically) from the largest centipede she's ever seen while at dinner. Andy Cohen is staying busy with all the housewives news coming out…New York is getting cancelled or recasted (?) and a brand new Rhode Island franchise is coming to a screen near you.

What's up Bros? We have a packed rundown as we give you ALL the news and info on the 4 new Bravo Shows coming soon. Up first we discuss Real Housewives of Rhode Island and some of the rumored cast members. Also what some of our concerns for a new franchise are. Then we discuss the Shahs of Sunset reboot which is slated as a 'spin off' of The Valley. Meaning it will follow the same show structure. Ladies of London is making a comeback as well. We heard about the Real Housewives of London that will be exlusive to HAYU, but the Ladies of London reboot is coming to the US later this year (or at least thats the rumor). The last new show is known as Housewife Swap. We're the least excited for this one and not really sure what to expect but we'll stay on it and keep you updated. With all of these new shows on the horizon we are hoping that at least 2 of them hit. We need some fresh blood in the network and we're stoked that Bravo is taking some chances!

An ambitious genre-crossing exploration of Black speculative imagination, The Dark Delight of Being Strange: Black Stories of Freedom (Columbia University Press 2024) combines fiction, historical accounts, and philosophical prose to unveil the extraordinary and the surreal in everyday Black life.In a series of stories and essays, James B. Haile, III, traces how Black speculative fiction responds to enslavement, racism, colonialism, and capitalism and how it reveals a life beyond social and political alienation. He re-envisions Black technologies of freedom through Henry Box Brown's famed escape from slavery in a wooden crate, fashions an anticolonial “hollow earth theory” from the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, and considers the octopus and its ability to camouflage itself as a model for Black survival strategies, among others. Looking at Black life through the lens of speculative fiction, this book transports readers to alternative worlds and spaces while remaining squarely rooted in present-day struggles. In so doing, it rethinks historical and contemporary Black experiences as well as figures such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Henry Dumas, and Toni Morrison.Offering new ways to grasp the meanings and implications of Black freedom, The Dark Delight of Being Strange invites us to reimagine history and memory, time and space, our identities and ourselves. Winner, 2025 Hugh J. Silverman Book Prize, Association for Philosophy and Literature Finalist, 2025 PEN America Open Book Award James B. Haile III is a Professor of English & Philosophy at the University of Rhode Island. You can find him at the University of Rhode Island Philosophy Department website.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When Roger and Carolyn Perron moved their five daughters onto a sprawling 200‑acre Rhode Island farm in 1970, the previous owner offered only one piece of advice: “Leave the lights on at night.”  What followed became one of the most chilling real‑life hauntings ever recorded—later inspiring the blockbuster film The Conjuring. For nearly ten years the Perrons shared their home with entities from every fold of time: mournful children, unseen hands, and the vengeful spirit the family came to call “Bathsheba.” Doors slammed, beds levitated, and history itself seemed to bleed through the walls. In this episode, Andrea Perron—eldest daughter and author of House of Darkness | House of Light—recounts the true events the movie only hinted at: the séances, the midnight battles for control of a mother's soul, and the moment they finally realized the dead were not leaving. Join us as we step inside the old Arnold Estate—lights on—and discover what it means to “live among the dead.” Become a Premium Supporter of The Grave Talks Through Apple Podcasts or Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) There, you will get: Access to every episode of our show, AD-FREE!

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, and brought to you by Topo Athletic, we're coming to you live from Austin, Texas with our guest, Paul Magnanti, aka Mags, aka Pmags. A longtime co-host of The Trail Show and a triple crowner, Pmags has spent decades exploring trails across the country, with a special love for the Southwest. We dive into the future of public lands, hear some of his hot takes on gear,  including his love for 100-weight fleece pullovers, his beef with sun hoodies, and where hikers tend to overspend, and get a look at his go-to "snivel gear." Pmags also shares stories from some of his lesser-known adventures, including the Ring the Peak Trail, A Walk Across Southern Utah, the Northern New Mexico Loop, the Grand Moab Route, and the Southeast Utah Group Circuit.  We wrap out the show with a rundown of the best sections of the Appalachian Trail (spoiler: #1 shocked our live audience), a "stupid thing of the week" (lost phone edition), a "gross or not gross" (chapstick edition), and the triple crown of trail towns.

Bravo announced four new shows which are being added to its line up. Glaringly absent from the full list of their returning shows, in addition to these new shows, was RHONY and RHONJ. Despite all the fake news, tabloid fodder, network chatter, blogger speculation and cast statements, we break down exactly what is going on with RHONY and RHONJ, the likelihood either will be back ever and which cast members will be most affected by this. Next, we discuss the new cast for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, why this franchise will effectively replace RHONJ and when we can expect this new franchise to actually appear on our Bravo screens. Finally, we discuss the remaining new shows - Shahs Valley Style, Ladies of London and Wife Swap and explain what these shows mean for Teresa Giudice's future on Bravo and why things are looking very good for Melissa and Joe Gorga and their new upcoming Bravo show. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CARAWAY HOME - ⁠Carawayhome.com/VELVET⁠ (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) STRAWBERRY - ⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn't Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford's Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo Gift Set For Free) RO - ⁠ro.co/velvet⁠ (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - ⁠rakuten.com⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

With many of the current Real Housewives franchises past their prime, it is uncertain if more franchises are actually needed. That said, more tea is spilled about the rumored upcoming Real Housewives of Chicago and Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Morgan and Kyle make moves to “come out” despite the possible longevity of this relationship as Kyle's role in Garcelle's exit is exposed. Jax Taylor is in trouble as he loses real world business due to his behavior on The Valley. Also, Morgan may not be as innocent as people originally thought. Finally, we break down our worst Housewife interviews of all time as well as current and past feuds with other Podcasts, Housewives and Ex-Housewives.
