Great journalism comes from asking questions about the world around us, and going out in search of the answers. So, The Public’s Radio is launching a new people-powered initiative, The Bubbler. We want your questions about our region to shape the stories we tell!

You can ask us anything, big or small, about Rhode Island or Southeastern Mass. You might wonder: What happened to the millions of dollars Rhode Island got from the Race to the Top grant? Who built that beautiful abandoned amphitheater in Woonsocket? Why do some streets change names every few blocks?

Here’s how it works. You ask us anything about your city, town or neighborhood. We’ll run regular voting rounds where you can choose what you most want answered. If your question is chosen, we may reach out to you to be a part of the reporting process.

So ask away: What have you always wondered about Rhode Island or Southeastern Massachusetts that The Public’s Radio can investigate for you?
