Getting Real - Cliff Ponte

Getting Real, hosted by Cliff Ponte, is a Fall River podcast about the people, stories, struggles, and moments that shape a city.

Across this first season, Cliff sits down with guests who have lived Fall River from the inside — public figures, business owners, community voices, friends, critics, and people who have found themselves in the headlines. The conversations are personal, direct, and sometimes controversial, but always rooted in understanding the real person behind the reputation.

For Cliff, this season is also a chance to show a different side of himself: not just the city councilor, business owner, or public figure moving a hundred miles an hour, but the person behind it all. Through honest conversations about ambition, setbacks, perseverance, politics, community, and second chances, Getting Real invites listeners to see Fall River — and the people who help define it — with more depth, more honesty, and a little more humanity.
