Description
The Weekly Catch is a half-hour show hosted by Morning Edition host Luis Hernandez, featuring the work of our local journalists and bringing you more depth on the most important stories of the week.
Every Friday at 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. you'll hear interviews, stories and essays that both capture the best of the week and advance stories that continue to evolve. You’ll hear regular conversations between Luis and our Political Reporter Ian Donnis, and feature reports from our talented newsroom journalists across Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. We'll expand on and provide context for investigative and enterprise reporting, regularly showcase our weekly arts segment, Artscape, and offer our tips on what to do each weekend. You can also find The Weekly Catch on Friday afternoons, wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or use this RSS feed for your podcatcher of choice.
