Would you take a dip in the ocean in the middle of winter? This week, we’ll meet a group of Rhode Island women whose cold-water swims have become a ritual of sorts. And, we break down the week in politics with our own Ian Donnis. Also: three Rhode Island chefs are up for the title of the best chef in the Northeast. We spoke to one of three local semifinalists up for a regional James Beard award. Plus, UMass-Dartmouth is hosting a series of films that were made during Portugal’s long-running authoritarian Estado Novo regime. All of that on The Weekly Catch.
The Weekly Catch is a production of The Public’s Radio. This episode was edited by Mareva Lindo, produced by James Baumgartner, and hosted by Luis Hernandez. Our executive producer is Sally Eisele, and our CEO and General Manager is Torey Malatia.
