Argh. Inconsistent bulleting punctuation. FORGIVE ME, gods of writing! Oh, and WNYC put in a bit for the New Yorker Radio Hour, which is going to interview NEWT FUCKING GINGRICH, just to keep their "all scumbags, all the time" format going for the hour.
Listen to Prithi Kanakamedala tell the stories of four families from Free Black Brooklyn communities in the 19th century on WNYC.
Author Prithi Kanakamedala discusses her new book, 'Brooklynites: The Remarkable Story of the Free Black Communities that Shaped a Borough.'
I listen to a lot of WNYC, (I live in CA) NY can be so fucking quaint. It cracks me up.
I heard a segment on WNYC recently that cited the "Two Wolves" legend & was discussing human nature through Hobbes and Rousseau. By any chance did anyone else catch this and know what it was?? Help!
The WNYC Brian Lehrer segment with Chris Flavelle (NYT) on heat pumps was so subpar for Brian. A heat pump is an AC they can run in reverse. If it’s performing differently from the AC it replaces, it’s because of the specific product or install, not the technology.
The 'transit/transp' beat is generally the state's largest function (MTA subways on this side of the Hudson; NJT on the other) caked by whatever the news of the day is. The cutbacks are really really real. (Forgot Gothamist/WNYC, but it's a thinning list)
That’s really interesting (certainly more interesting than the underwriting slots!). Thank you. I’ve been listening to a lot of WNYC, lately and it’s puzzled me. Feels oddly anachronistic in tone. But helps make the bits of Parks & Rec poking fun at NPR make more sense.
I remember when WNYC allowed comments. That often went poorly.
WNYC had Lieber on the other day and posed this; he briefly tried to argue that he's not really interested in it b/c "the fare is already so low," seemingly unaware that it's still prohibitively expensive for many—as if people are evading the fare & risking a police confrontation for funsies.
