The 195 District transformed what used to be a stretch of highway into one of Providence’s most vibrant gathering spots. Park Manager Jacob Nathan joins us to talk about its walkable design, packed event schedule, and what’s next — including the long-awaited pavilion with The Guild Beer Garden and Seven Stars Bakery. From yoga on the green to fireworks on the river, it’s all happening where the highway used to be.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
