President Trump’s recent executive actions on import tariffs have caused a stir in global markets, sparking concerns about the potential impact on Rhode Island’s economy. In a recent episode of The Weekly Catch, URI economist Len Lardaro discusses how the state’s economy has already been affected by these tariffs. Meanwhile, reporter Lynn Arditi dives into the ongoing battle over the future of South County Hospital, shedding light on the driving forces behind the dispute and what is at stake.
In the realm of arts and culture, the podcast also highlights the work of local art history professor Erin L. McCutcheon, who is on a mission to change the narrative around women artists. McCutcheon challenges listeners to name five women artists, pointing out that most people are unable to do so, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating the contributions of women in the arts.
