Episode Synopsis


On this episode, Weekly investigates the issue of food waste and meets Rhode Islanders fighting to prevent food from ending up in landfills. Then, go back in time to 1937, with a look at how a bitter rivalry between the governor of Rhode Island and a racetrack owner culminated in what became known as the Racetrack War. Finally, we return to the Providence Athenaeum, a library with unique stories to tell.
