<p>Hey Anchored fans, Shay here.<br/><br/>You may have noticed a bit of an absence from your favorite low-sodium Rhode Island podcast in the past month. Truth is, life has been a bit hard behind the scenes lately. At the end of February my father passed away and while I was able to crank out the interviews with Two Thangs and Bill Bartholomew right after, I quickly realized my heart truly wasn&apos;t ready to dedicate the necessary amount of space to Anchored as it deserves. This is the first close death I&apos;ve experienced and I&apos;m learning that the healing process takes time. That&apos;s why I&apos;ve decided to take a break from Anchored for the next month or so to give myself time to heal and to remember why I love doing Anchored. It is my hope that we&apos;ll be back before the end of May and ready to tackle all the great stories Rhode Island&apos;s past and present has to offer. Until then, here are some Rhode Island-based podcasts and creators I highly recommend you give a listen to:</p><p><br/></p><p>Our studio-mates Sex Ed Debunked by Christine and Shannon Curley,</p><p>Bartholomewtown Podcast by Bill Bartholomew,</p><p>Ray-ality TV by Raymond Baccari, and</p><p>Let&apos;s Chat Podcast with Chris Revill</p><p><br/></p><p>And as always, don&apos;t forget to Stay Salty</p>
