Rhody Radio is a podcast that brings you voices from your neighbors around the state. Discover local writers, artists, experts, scholars, musicians, and performers from across the Ocean State, and enjoy lectures, stories, and conversations selected for you by Rhode Island librarians.
Rhody Radio: Rhode Island Library Radio Online began in order to fill the gap in continued learning and social connection that libraries provide during a time when library doors are closed. Now and in the future we seek to provide wider access to library programs, lectures, reader's advisory and library staff insights to our patrons near and far.
Subscribe to Rhody Radio on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Rhody Radio is made possible by a grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities and support from the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services.
Below is a selection of Rhody Radio episodes created and/or produced by Barrington Public Library staff.
