Rhode Island PBS Weekly

Pamela Watts explores one of the most improbable episodes ever to come out of Rhode Island, and interviews a local artist who found a “hole-in-the-mall”, the Providence Place Mall, that made history and now, Hollywood.

Then, we take a second look at Michelle San Miguel’s profile of a local educator who has found a way to make learning fun by putting students in the driver’s seat. And his lessons go well beyond academics. He’s on a mission to spark a joyful rebellion – one that he says became increasingly necessary during the pandemic.

Finally, on this episode of Weekly Insight, Michelle San Miguel and our contributor WPRI 12’s politics editor Ted Nesi discuss the return of Rhode Island’s senate president to the state house, the proposed ban on assault weapons ban and why a top lawmaker is cautioning Governor Dan Mckee against giving out raises to his cabinet.
