Listen "The Indypendent News Hour on WBAI // 12 July '22"
Episode Synopsis
First Segment: We speak with Max Rivlin-Nadler of the Hell Gate news website about the dearth of lifeguards at city pools this summer and how that’s affecting ordinary New Yorkers who don’t have their own rooftop pools or private gym memberships.
Second Segment: How did we end up with the new city budget we have? And what will its impact be in the coming year, especially New York’s 1 million public school students? We speak with City Councilmember Shahana Hanif of District 39 in Brooklyn. She’s the co-chair of the City Council’s Progressive Caucus and was in the thick of this year’s drama around the budget.
Third Segment: We speak with John Teufel, who authors a monthly column called "This Month in Eric Adams." He also wrote the cover article for our July print edition, “Welcome to the Fear Factory: How The Mayor, The Cops and the Corporate Media Make It Impossible To Solve New York City’s Many Challenges.”
