RHORI, through a legal lens. 👀⚖️
The drama may be made for TV, but the legal questions are very real. Season 3 of the LAW 401 Podcast kicks off with a deep dive into The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, from no-siren ordinances and on-screen disputes to Rhode Island culture and how the franchise landed in the Ocean State.
Bekah Berger of 92 PRO-FM and Real Talk Rhody joins the conversation to help us determine what’s real, what’s not and what Rhode Island law actually says.
Watch “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island & the Law” now on the new Law 401 Podcast YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/
