On this week's Bravo recap episode, Dylan's cup runneth over with things to cover, starting with the news that the OG RHONY crew is hopping over to E! for a brand new show. Is this a middle finger to Bravo, and will anyone even care? Then, he discusses Real Housewives of Rhode Island's brand new trailer, and how this show could be the spiritual successor to RHONJ. From there, he gets into the bumpy season 10 premiere of Summer House, and why it's a blessing that Kyle and Amanda announced their split before the season. Next, Dylan dives into Karen Huger's special sitdown with Andy Cohen on RHOP, where she took (some) accountability for her mistakes, and revealed which color she WON'T be wearing after her time in jail. Later, Dylan unpacks his thoughts about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and is left reeling after the latest episode of Traitors.

Affordable Interior Design presents Big Design, Small Budget
In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I share how unexpectedly energized I've been by diving into TikTok for the first time, using it as a creative outlet for design inspiration, trend commentary, and playful content creation, before answering a listener's question about whether French bistro–style X-back dining chairs are a fad (they're not—I love them and consider them a timeless, practical choice, especially for families). I then pivot to pop culture and unpack my long-anticipated but ultimately disappointing experience watching Netflix's Secret Mall Apartment, a documentary about artists secretly building a hidden space inside a Rhode Island mall; while I was fascinated by the premise and the broader ideas around reclaiming unused space, I felt misled by the title, underwhelmed by the focus on artistic philosophy over logistics, and unconvinced by staged reenactments—making it a watch I don't regret, but definitely won't revisit. Timestamps: 00:00 – TikTok is unexpectedly fueling my design creativity 04:30 – Submit your design questions and room dilemmas 07:30 – Are French bistro X-back dining chairs classic or trendy? 14:30 – Comfort, kids, and when bistro chairs do (and don't) work 17:00 – My take on Netflix's Secret Mall Apartment 36:30 – Final thoughts, verdict, and what I wish the documentary had done differently Links: Uploft.com AffordableInteriorDesign.com Submit your design questions to be featured on the show Become a Premium Member and access the bonus episodes Click here to become an interior designer with Uploft's Interior Design Academy.

Send us a textLast week, a man died in the cold on the streets of Providence — a tragic reminder of the stakes in Rhode Island's ongoing unhoused crisis.On this episode, we're joined by Harrison Tuttle, a Rhode Island–based organizer and housing justice advocate, to talk about what's driving homelessness in the state, why existing systems continue to fail people in crisis, and what his organization is doing right now to get people housed.We discuss the realities of street homelessness, the shortage of shelter and permanent housing, the role of government at the state and municipal level, and why advocates argue that homelessness is not inevitable — but the result of policy choices.This conversation also examines how the public talks about homelessness, the human cost of inaction, and what meaningful solutions could look like if Rhode Island treated housing as a public good rather than a market commodity.Support the show

Fatal overdoses are rising among adults 45 and older and stigma often keeps this age group out of the conversation. In this episode, Dr. Philip Chan, Consultant Medical Director at the Rhode Island Department of Health and a practicing primary care physician, discusses Rhode Island's No Matter Why You Use campaign. Dr. Chan explains why middle-aged and older adults face elevated overdose risk, how isolation, medical prescribing, and a contaminated drug supply intersect, and why personal storytelling is key to reducing stigma about accessing care. The conversation also highlights Rhode Island's overdose prevention strategies—from widespread naloxone access to community partnerships—and shares lessons other states can apply to save lives and start conversations sooner.Webinar Registration - ZoomOverdose Prevention | ASTHO

Karly is worried that she is getting addicted to nose spray. She has been using decongestant nose spray for her sinuses for six days now. You aren’t supposed to use it more than 4 days in a row because it can make you addicted or dependent on it. Lots of people called and texted either in the same boat as Karly or telling her to stop and use an alternative.

In this solo episode of The Robyn Ivy Podcast, I reflect on a recent snowstorm in Rhode Island as a surprisingly rich metaphor for how we prepare—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—for life's unknowns. From overbuying at the grocery store to charging batteries just in case, I explore what our storm prep styles reveal about our inner lives. With my signature mix of story, honesty, and grounded wisdom, I offer you a deeper look at how we respond to change, uncertainty, and responsibility. Whether you're someone who stockpiles batteries, forgets the flashlights, or skips prep altogether, this episode will help you better understand your patterns and build more meaningful resilience. If you've ever felt like you were bracing for impact—or caught in a life storm you didn't see coming—this one's for you. 3 Takeaways for You: Your prep style is personal intel. How you handle physical storms mirrors how you approach uncertainty in general—notice your patterns.Presence matters more than perfection. When challenges hit, tuning in to your senses and practicing gratitude can shift stress into awe.Real preparedness includes your mindset. The balance between practical readiness and trust is where true resilience lives.

Cam Lyman vanished in the summer of 1987, leaving behind a forty-acre estate, dozens of prizewinning dogs, and a silence that would stretch on for more than a decade. Friends and family disagreed on whether Cam had walked away or been taken or worse. Meanwhile, millions of dollars in trusts and assets seemed to evaporate. When Cam was finally found, hidden beneath the very ground no one had searched, the mystery didn't end. It compounded. While police spoke in hints about suspects, the only charge ever filed had nothing to do with murder. In this case, every lead seems to circle back to the same question: if you follow the money, will it reveal what happened to Cam, or just uncover another carefully buried secret?If you have information relating to the unsolved case of Cam Lyman, please contact the Hopkinton Police Department at (401) 377-7750.View source material and photos for this episode at: darkdowneast.com/camlyman Dark Downeast is an Audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.Follow @darkdowneast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokTo suggest a case visit darkdowneast.com/submit-case Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For over forty years, the White House Historical Association has partnered with Beacon Design, a division of the ChemArt Company, to create the Official White House Christmas Ornament. The program was started in 1981 during the first term of the Reagan presidency when First Lady Nancy Reagan threw her support behind the idea. A new design has debuted annually with each ornament honoring a president's time in the White House, an anniversary, or historical event. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association visited ChemArt to get a first-hand look at how the ornaments are meticulously designed and hand-assembled. The veteran and family-founded company based in Lincoln, Rhode Island makes each ornament with precision and care. Stewart toured the facility with Hamilton Davison, CEO of Beacon Design, and Dave Marquis, former president of ChemArt, to get a behind-the-scenes look at how these treasured family heirlooms are created. They also discussed the recently unveiled Official Commemorative Ornament of America's 250th Anniversary, which serves as the Official 2026 White House Christmas Ornament. It features the Declaration of Independence framed in 24-karat gold and is officially licensed with America250, a nonpartisan movement dedicated to inspiring civic participation and education in the nation. The Official Commemorative Ornament of America's 250th Anniversary is available for sale at shop.whitehousehistory.org. All proceeds from the sale of these Ornaments go directly to funding the Association's nonprofit, nonpartisan educational mission to share White House history.

Send us a textonight at Providence City Hall, members of the City Council will formally introduce a rent stabilization ordinance aimed at limiting annual rent increases in the city.Supporters argue the proposal is a necessary response to rapidly rising rents, housing insecurity, and displacement in one of the tightest rental markets in the country. Critics warn rent stabilization could discourage new housing construction, reduce investment, and create unintended long-term consequences.In this episode, we're joined by Providence City Councilor Sue AnderBois, a leading proponent of the plan, to walk through what's being proposed, why she believes the policy is needed now, and how the ordinance is designed to balance tenant protections with concerns from landlords and developers.Support the show

The LAPD’s most famous cold case, the Black Dahlia, has haunted headlines for generations, and a renewed wave of speculation now argues she was killed by the same person who later called himself the Zodiac. In this episode of "Zone 7," Sheryl McCollum is joined by forensic pathologist Dr. Priya Banerjee and forensic psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston to put that theory to the test. They argue Elizabeth Short’s murder reads as intimate and rage-driven, marked by postmortem mutilation and staging, while the Zodiac attacks appear cold and more mission-oriented, closer to an execution than a personal assault. They also clarify the difference between modus operandi and psychological signature, explain why signatures do not just “cool off” over decades, and urge civilians and investigators alike to test assumptions, scrutinize claims, and bring in smarter minds when the facts demand it. Guest Bios: Dr. Priya Banerjee is a board-certified forensic pathologist with extensive experience in death investigation, clinical forensics, and courtroom testimony. A John’s Hopkins graduate, she served for over a decade as Rhode Island’s state medical examiner and now leads a private forensic pathology practice. Dr. Joni Johnston is a forensic psychologist, private investigator, and crime writer. Her work includes prison and parole settings, court-related forensic services, workplace misconduct investigations, parole evaluations for mentally disordered offenders, and expert testimony in criminal and civil cases. About the Host Sheryl “Mac” McCollum is an active crime scene investigator for a Metro Atlanta Police Department and the director of the Cold Case Investigative Research Institute, which partners with colleges and universities nationwide. With more than 4 decades of experience, she has worked on thousands of cold cases using her investigative system, The Last 24/361, which integrates evidence, media, and advanced forensic testing. Her work on high-profile cases, including the Boston Strangler, Natalie Holloway, Tupac Shakur and the Moore’s Ford Bridge lynching, led to her Emmy Award for "CSI: Atlanta" and induction into the National Law Enforcement Hall of Fame in 2023.

Weirdos!! On today's episode Alaina announced the third chapter in the Wren Muller series- The Butcher Legacy . Be sure to visit to PREORDER NOW by visiting butcherlegacy.com . Order NOW to get exclusive signed editions from BN.com AND the Special Edition from Target!In the winter of 1980, wealthy socialite Martha “Sunny” von Bulow was found unconscious in the bathroom of the mansion she shared with her husband, Claus, in Newport, Rhode Island. An ambulance was called and Sunny was rushed to the nearest emergency room, but paramedics and doctors were unable to revive her and Sunny would remain in a coma until her death in 2008. At first, Sunny's coma was a mystery to doctors, but soon suspicion fell on her husband, Claus, who appeared indifferent to her condition and was openly carrying on an affair with another woman. The family launched a private investigation and eventually turned up strong evidence they believed implicated Claus in the attempted murder of Sunny, but, as they soon learned, believing it and proving it were two very different things.ReferencesAssociated Press. 1985.
