How do you stay sane working as a chef? And what makes it all worth it? We ask award-winning chef and restaurateur Ben Sukle of Providence’s Oberlin and Gift Horse restaurants those questions and more in our first episode of Career Confidential. Career Confidential is a new series where we interview successful Rhode Islanders about the struggles of making it in their industry—and why they pursue their profession anyway. Give it a watch and let us know in the comments: who should we interview next?

Federal funding for public media is on the chopping block — for Rhode Island PBS & The Public's Radio, that means a potential loss of $1 million dollars. The loss would be devastating, impacting our capacity to deliver trusted local journalism, educational programming, and community events across Rhode Island. I joined Luis Hernandez on The Public’s Radio to talk about what’s at risk and how you can help. Now is the time to stand with us, speak out, and protect public media. You voice and support has never mattered more. https://lnkd.in/e72FXvz4

I had the best time working on this installation for Rhode Island PBS & The Public's Radio! They were looking for a moveable mural. I started thinking about some of the essential values that PBS and The Public’s Radio live and work by: community and communication. I imagined how I would tell someone about Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts, and immediately thought of postcards. One thing led to another, and voila: giant postage stamps. I hired a wonderful woodworker to cut plywood into postage stamp shapes. I painted the plywood at home and installed them at the Providence station.
