The Rotunda #488 04/01/26 - Although it's April Fools, doesn't mean we'll be fooling around. 

With the SAVE Act on the table, many questions have arisen. What does it mean for my access to a polling place, and if my rights are endangered, what can be done about it? Kelly Doran joins us tonight to talk about what Rhode Islanders are doing to make sure that no legal voters will have their accessibility restricted. This conversation in the third segment is a must-listen, so be sure to check ut out. 

Ryan and I are tackling local and national issues in the first half of the show, including URI's Tammi Reiss moving on, a local zoo being saved from the chopping block and even - this is so cool - a bunch of new species being discovered on Earth!

The Rotunda #487 03/18/26 - Another Scott-free episode this time around. But this time, it's the producers taking over the show. Yup, you have *Chief Producer Ryan Fox (*= He's not a chief, we just wanted to boost his ego) sliding into the host's chair and fellow producer Matt Carvalho as his co-host. 

Tonight, they talk a multitude of topics such as celebrity Alan Ritchson getting into with a neighbor that followed the script of an episode of The Reacher (guess who the producers picked in this scenario) as well as pay their respects to the Legendary Icon known as Chuck Norris (Chuck Norris listens to 990WBOB to make sure the producers stay in line or else).

But with the good/funny come the bad as Matt delves into a pretty big ponzi scheme within a Providence school and the two get a little heated talking about the Loyola murder and fallout from that. 

All that and a bag of chips on this latest episode. Be sure to give a listen!

The Rotunda #486 03/11/26 -  No Scott this time around but instead, a delightful treat as Pal and Producer Fox stepped into the host & co-host chair in this episode of the Rotunda. 

The two were joined on the phone by the Playbook's own Matt Carvalho as he was down in the Big Apple on assignment covering the PC Friars for the Big East Tournament over at Madison Square Garden. They were also joined in studio by The Compass' own Kevin DeJesus to talk about the Iran conflict, the US economy (especially gas prices), and more.
