Remembering Judge Frank Caprio: America’s Nicest Judge Judge Frank Caprio, the beloved Providence Municipal Court chief judge and star of Caught in Providence, has passed away at 88 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Known worldwide for his compassion, empathy, and sense of justice, Caprio touched millions with his humanity from the bench. A few months ago, I had the privilege of traveling to Miami to interview him in person at his home, surrounded by his family. We shared a heartfelt, candid conversation about his life, his values, and the lessons he wanted to leave behind. Afterward, we joined our mutual friend Joseph Paolino Jr. for lunch on his boat — a memory I’ll never forget. In this replay from our Summer Series, you’ll hear Judge Caprio in his own words — thoughtful, funny, and wise. This is one of his final recorded conversations, and it captures exactly why he was known as America’s Nicest Judge. --- --- --- PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!: ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitel Shop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/ Follow Rachel on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=en Follow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitel Executive Producer: George Carmona Do you have show ideas, media requests or sponsorship opportunities?
