Hope Pod Live, Communities of Hope Civic Media's weekly radio show on WQRI 88.3 FM, returned for the spring 2026 semester with comprehensive coverage of pressing social justice issues. The broadcast featured in-depth reporting on Fred Korematsu Day commemorations at Roger Williams University, an investigation into Rhode Island's juvenile hearing boards as alternatives to traditional justice systems, and a year-in-review of the Trump administration's immigration policies and their local impact. The show also covered RWU's club hockey senior night, Rhode Island housing market data revealing affordability challenges, and local news including Providence's ICE-free zones and proposed rent control measures. Hosts Kali and Alex opened with a tribute to Dr. Anjali Ram, a beloved intercultural communications professor who passed away in January 2025.
