Season 1 is where the story began — the first pour, the first mic, the first voices around the table inside a small tavern studio in Cumberland, Rhode Island. What started as a local effort to keep civic conversation alive became the proving ground for something bigger.
These early episodes capture the raw energy of creation. Straight talk. Honest stories. No scripts. No handlers. You can hear the evolution as the show moves from local politics to the people who shape the culture around us — builders, workers, veterans, creators, and citizens with something real to say.
Season 1 is the foundation of Cumberland Unfiltered™, filmed inside Cumberland Tavern Studio™, where the masks come off and the conversations are lived, not performed.
