Anchored The Podcast

Anchored The Podcast artwork

Welcome to Anchored: a Rhody-themed, podcast-styled, low sodium option for the Ocean State’s sea-saltiest opinions. We’re your hosts, Shay and Elise, and we’re two former Rhode Island tour guides with a deep – and sometimes burdensome – love for the littlest state. Despite outgrowing the things that pulled us to Lil’ Rhody from our Pacific Northwest and Midwest roots, we’ve stayed the course and adopted The Lively Experiment as our home. Every other week we’ll throw our edutainer caps back on and walk you through the back story of what’s making news in Rhode Island today. This podcast is best enjoyed with a cold glass of coffee milk, three hot wieners, and/or an unbridled love for anything, and everything, anchored.
