  • The Best of Warwick Radio: Shaking the Bushes—Six Degrees of Seinfeld Separation
    Aug 12 2025

    A “trip” on the subway makes for a bizarro story!

    You never know who's going to turn up in the stories on Elly McGuire's podcast, Shaking The Bushes—Yoko Ono, Jonas Salk, Richard Hatch (Richard Hatch?), even a former President, to name a few—as she shares humorous and often unpredictable autobiographical anecdotes and social commentary about living parallel lives in her "cozy" apartment in Manhattan and her childhood home in Warwick, Rhode Island.

    What you think might be so different from residing in the biggest city in the world and in the smallest state in the union can actually turn out to be very much the same.

    Author and adventurist Elly McGuire has traveled the world, rubbed shoulders with celebrated people, and is now "shaking the bushes" of her colorful past.

  • The Best of Warwick Radio: The Crimes That Shaped Our City—Carl Rettich and His Crime Castle
    Aug 5 2025

    Join lawyer and true crime fanatic Kate Itacy for stories about crimes allegedly committed by Warwick citizens or within Warwick city limits.

    Today, hear the tale of reputed bootlegger and bank robber Carl Rettich and his Crime Castle, a Warwick Neck mansion owned by Rettich and alleged to be the hub for the Rettich gang’s criminal activities during the 1920s and 1930s. Underworld legend credits Carl Rettich with the invention of cement shoes, and he may have poured a pair for his associate Danny Walsh in a secret dungeon under the Crime Castle’s basement before throwing Walsh into Narragansett Bay.

    Katherine Itacy was born and raised in Warwick, worked as a criminal defense lawyer in the city, and remains a civil rights and criminal justice advocate.

  • The Best of Warwick Radio: Concerts at Rocky Point Park
    Jul 29 2025

    Warwick Life host Scott Nerney talks with editor George LaCross from the amusement park fan site Laff in the Dark.

    From Patti Page in 1952 to Weezer in 1994, concerts at the Palladium and Midway stage were an essential part of Rocky Point. Hear about shows by small acts that would become big, the night in 1978 when REO Speedwagon, AC/DC, Blue Öyster Cult, and Thin Lizzy all played, the group that caused the power to go out three times, and the 1984 concert that caused a traffic jam from Warwick to Cranston.

    Join the Rocky Point Park Remembered! ⁠Facebook⁠ group.
