Audacy
With the 1010 WINS In Depth podcast series, 1010 WINS takes a closer look at stories that matter to New Yorkers. Our news team takes a story that we are covering and breaks it down even further for you.
In New York City, Black women are nine times more likely than their white counterparts to die during childbirth. This is why maternal health advocates are pushing the city to connect Black mothers-to-be with Black midwives and doulas for better pregnancy outcomes. In this episode, we hear from birth-givers, advocates, and lawmakers about how to give Black New Yorkers better birthing experiences.

New York will no longer prosecute or arrest children under age 12 in 2023 for pretty much all crimes except homicide. Advocates are hopeful this will interrupt the school to prison pipeline — especially for Black and Latinx kids. On the In Depth podcast, we hear how trauma-informed practices could provide better outcomes for at-risk kids.

New York City has a trash problem. But a lot of that garbage on the sidewalk is food waste. Experts say a lot of it is good to eat. Zero waste advocates are trying to lessen New York City’s waste footprint. Anna Sacks, known online as "Trash Walker" on social media, is showing her fellow residents exactly what’s being tossed everyday. Think Zero’s Ushma Pandya shares tips on how New Yorkers can decrease the city’s food waste footprint – especially during the holiday season when waste increases.

There’s a lack of women in top leadership positions at many universities across the country.
A study by the Women’s Power Gap found that only 22 percent of what’s considered R1 universities currently have a woman serving as president. American Association of University Women CEO Gloria Blackwell discusses some of the study’s highlights. New York University Professor Teboho Moja breaks down why this is a systemic issue. CUNY Graduate Center’s President Dr. Robin Garrell explains what’s different at a university with a history of women in its presidency.

The Bronx is home to 1.4 million people – a population bigger than most American cities – but only houses two full-time bookstores. This makes it a book desert. But Bronxites are working to close the literacy gap in their borough.
Saraciea Fennell, a book publicist raised in the Bronx, noticed authors rarely ever came to the Bronx for literacy events. She tells In Depth how she changed that by starting The Bronx is Reading Festival. Bronx native Gregory Hernandez shares his findings from his film “1.5 Million.” The documentary explores what led to the borough’s low literacy levels and how community members are working to boost literacy. Professor Susan Neuman, an early literacy expert at New York University, shares how better funding could bolster literacy rates.

The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), a decades-old law designed to give indigenous people adoption priority to indigenous children, is being challenged at the Supreme Court. The plaintiffs in Haaland vs. Brackeen say this system is racist due to non-Native families being at the bottom of the list. On this week’s In Depth, we’re asking: What does this mean for Indigenous communities in New York and across the nation?
We hear from Hilary Tompkins, a member of the Navajo Nation who was adopted by a white family before ICWA was enacted. We’re also joined by Joe Heath, general counsel for the Onondaga Nation, who explains the injustices leading up to ICWA and how challenging the act could affect tribal sovereignty. Frank Edwards, an assistant professor at Rutgers University, shares research on how ICWA has impacted the child welfare state over the last few decades.
On this week’s episode of In Depth we’re joined by comedian Phillip Markle. While he’s not a medical expert that can talk at length about the dangers of the drug, he is someone who undergoes ketamine therapy frequently. We also chat with Dr. John Mann, a professor of translational neuroscience in psychiatry and radiology at Columbia University.
Listen as we join Philip on one of his sessions and discuss the history of Ketamine in an effort to determine whether the drug has changed or our perception of it.

In 2021, more than a third of high schoolers reported experiencing poor mental health during the covid-19 pandemic, according to the CDC.
•Forty-four percent of high schoolers persistently felt sad or hopeless.
•One in five teens considered suicide during the pandemic.
Experts are saying there is a shortage on mental health resources that kids need, including guidance counselors.
On this episode of In Depth, we speak to recent graduates of New York's Staten Island Technical High School about the mental health challenges they faced during the pandemic. We also speak with Psychologist Dr. Allison Holman, a specialist in collective trauma, and Dawn Yuster, the director of the School Justice Project.
Produced by Jill Webb and Anddy Egan-Thorpe.
America has a ton of clothing waste. It’s part of the reason many eco-conscious shoppers prefer thrifting. There’s one problem: even when thrifting, many still buy a ton of clothes and toss barely used garments. Social media is fueling this via massive thrift hauls, a.k.a showing off your shopping sprees. Thrifting and environmental experts help us to explore whether or not shopping secondhand has lost its environmental focus. We’re also looking at how are low-income communities — who’ve historically relied on thrifting for its affordable prices — are affected.
Over the last century Hollywood may have become synonymous with stardom, but believe it or not the film and TV industry was born on the east coast.
After being forced to move westward in the early 1900s due to rising production costs and unsatisfactory weather, over the last few decades there’s been a renewed interest in expanding the industry on the east coast. This has resulted in a surge of productions throughout the tri-state area.
The primary reason for that renewed interest? Tax credits.
New York state has one of the most generous film and TV tax credit programs in the country. While it generates plenty of revenue, there are some who believe that New Yorkers are the ones actually paying the price.
On this episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, listen as we break down both the history of cinema in the tri-state area and New York's current film tax credit program in an effort.
To wrap up Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, In Depth takes a closer look at the Native Hawaiian diaspora in New York City.
The media often solely depicts Hawaii as a beautiful paradise, but the islands and their people have more dimensions than that. Issues within the local economy have led many Native Hawaiians to depart the islands in recent decades, oftentimes against their desires. Today, about half of all Native Hawaiians live outside of Hawaii. For born-and-raised Hawaiians who’ve relocated to to NYC, how do they keep their culture alive in the diaspora? And for indigenous Hawaiians who have never lived on the islands, how do they grapple with “not feeling Hawaiian enough”?
Guests: Barrie Kealoha, performer and voice-over artist, Kini Kahauolopua, Manhattan-based chef, and Dr. Jack Barile, Interim Director of the Social Science Research Institute at the University of Hawaii-Manoa.

On this special episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, we examine the barriers some Asian American businesses owners have broken and those that remain.
Listen as host Anddy Egan-Thorpe learns about the most common issues Asian Americans face as they try to earn honest day’s work in a conversation with New York City Councilwoman Julie Won. A Korean American whose mom has worked at a nail salon for 10 years, she’s witnessed some injustices firsthand
Are movies nowadays too long? Or are we just too distracted to stay invested? On this week’s In Depth, host Jill Webb talks with Gloria Mark, an informatics professor at the University of California Irvine, about what causes us to have shortened attention spans. We also hear from BoxOffice Pro’s Dan Loría about what’s coming out of the entertainment industry and if film studios plan to adapt to audiences’ lack of focus.
This week, Governor Kathy Hochul unveiled a $1.4 billion plan to build a brand new stadium for New York’s Buffalo Bills. However, nearly half of the cost - $600 million, to be exact - is expected to be covered by taxpayer dollars.
Despite the price tag, Governor Hochul believes that the stadium will ultimately stimulate the economy.
On this episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, we speak with people on both sides of the debate. First, we speak to sports economist Victor Matheson. In his own words, the plan, “it's the largest nominal amount of public subsidy ever for a stadium in the United States.”
With the stadium set to be built in Erie, New York, we speak to the public official representing the county, Mark Poloncarz. He explains why everyone, especially locals in the tri-state area, should be excited for what’s to come.
On this week’s episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, listen as host Femi Redwood explores the surprising spectacle the Senate confirmation hearings have become so far, as well as why race and politics are playing a much larger role in this nomination than anyone would have expected.
A $3 billion lawsuit has been filed by tenants in the Bronx building that caught on fire and left 17 people dead, including children. Tenants say the building located on 181st Street had a history of problems including non-working self-closing doors and no heat. In this week’s In Depth podcast, host Femi Redwood explores the building’s troubled history. She also digs into the tax breaks, abatements, and loans the buildings' owners received from the state. She is joined by Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and personal injury attorney Michael Lamonsoff.
From recreational marijuana to mobile sports betting, in this week’s episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, host Femi Redwood speaks with several experts to break down all the new leisurely activities New Yorkers can finally partake in legally. She’ll also delve into how the state stands to benefit.
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Earlier this month the National Weather Service confirmed that a record-breaking six tornadoes had touched down on Long Island. Now, this wasn’t the first time the area had seen weather like that. In 2007, a single tornado touched down in Brooklyn. However, this was the first time the weather had been so severe.
In addition to the damage done this time around there's a lot more confusion, especially since the weather hit the tri-state a little over a month away from winter.
New York is not entirely known for tornadoes. In films like "Twister" and even "The Wizard of Oz," strong winds usually ravage the Midwest. Are the change of both the timing and the scenery more tangible proof of climate change?
On this week’s episode of 1010 WINS In Depth that’s precisely what we aim to find out.
First, 1010 WINS spoke with Chimera Comstock. She’s been chasing storms since she was in high school.
“I grew up in Oklahoma - the severe weather capital of the world,” she tells host Femi Redwood. “I remember having close interactions with severe weather and just being fascinated by it.”
She explains why the storms are so fascinating, despite their unpredictability.
1010 WINS also spoke to Sean Sublette from the advocacy group Climate Central. He’ll help us figure out the correlation between climate change and the recent uptick in tornadoes.
Lastly, meteorologist Jon Porter sits down with us to weigh in on the issue. An expert on local weather, he’ll explain what the trend could mean for New York City’s future and weigh in on whether or not adequate infrastructure exists to deal with the problems today.
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Since 1993 reporter Al Jones has been a staple at New York’s very own 1010 WINS. This past October he hung up his mic for good and finally decided to retire.
A North Dakota native, Jones earned his honorary city stripes by helping tell some of its biggest stories. From ticker tape parades to tragedies, Jones has covered it all. Between the crime, weather, politics, and - most recently - COVID, he’s left a lasting legacy at both WINS and to the city he’s called a home for so long.
On this week’s episode of 1010 WINS’ In Depth Podcast, host Femi Redwood sits down, one on one with Jones to discuss his life, experiences, career highlights, and what’s next.
1010 WINS (NEW YORK) -- Friday afternoon Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all 5 charges he faced in connection to last year’s Kenosha shootings that left two men dead and a third injured.
Being acquitted means that he will not serve any jail time, he won’t be put on probation, and he won’t have to surrender his guns.
His was the latest case to divide the country; however, from the beginning, some had sided with Rittenhouse’s plea of self-defense. He claimed he shot at all three victims to protect himself.
Others were outraged by his actions because, living a state away in Illinois, it was unclear why he even appeared at the Wisconsin protests, let alone why he showed up armed.
While he walks away a free man, the jury’s decision has caused controversy and confusion all across the nation.
Was justice served? More importantly, does this case set a dangerous precedent for future events and similar circumstances? Those are only a handful of questions we aim to answer in this week’s episode of 1010 WINS In Depth: The criminal trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.
This week’s guests include Kim Belware, John Plaff, and Charles Coleman Jr.
Belware, a reporter who has been on the ground in Kenosha since day one, offers some interesting insight into what Rittenhouse’s supporters have been saying outside the courtroom.
Pfaff, an author and law professor at Fordham University, breaks down how self defense laws, open carry laws, and the burden of proof contributed to this case.
A former prosecutor himself, Coleman Jr. takes aim at the perceived double standard of justice that exists in modern America.
It’s official. Eric Adams has officially been elected as New York City’s 110th Mayor.
He comes at a time where the city is consumed by conflict: a city recovering economically and socially from a worldwide pandemic, local and national movements crying out for justice, peace, equality, and equity.
A former cop, many are hoping that he will bridge the gap between law enforcement and public office - a relationship that has clearly corroded during Mayor De Blasio’s administration.
On this week’s episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, in a candid discussion with Former Small Business Service Commissioner Rob Walsh and Political Analyst Hank Sheinkopf, we examine the arduous road that Adams has ahead of him.
The workforce is changing, but not in the way you might expect. After years - and in some cases, decades - of standing by, workers across various industries are now standing in solidarity with one another to demand better treatment and better pay.
For the last month, employees at numerous companies have decided to go on strike. John Deere, Kellogg's, and Kaiser Permanente are just a few of the ones that made headlines.
While the exact number of workers who have gone on strike this year is still unclear, it’s estimated that the number is more than 100,000 people.
On this week’s episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, we take a look at one of the largest labor disputes happening at the heart of New York City: the struggle to unionize at Amazon’s local warehouses.
On that topic, we speak with Christian Smalls, the former Amazon employee who is leading the charge against the trillion dollar company.
We also speak with labor sociologist Ruth Milkman to explore work stoppages in the past and whether or not they can help us determine if current protests will yield positive results.
info_outlinedeleteadd_circle_outlineaddLastly, we speak to David Madland, author of the novel "RE-UNION: How Bold Labor Reforms Can Repair, Revitalize, and Reunite the United States.' He’ll break down where politics fit into the equation.
When the first COVID-19 vaccine came out, people were crossing ethical lines to make sure they could get it. Wealthy residents from the Upper East Side pretended to live in the Bronx just to get a jab. There was even that one story of the Soul Cycle instructor who claimed that leading such an expensive course made her a teacher.
Fast forward to today, where New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has no choice but to force municipal workers to get vaccinated.
We’ve already seen this happen with teachers, but now the jobs of cops, firefighters, and every other person that works for a city agency has been given a similar ultimatum.
By October 29, every city worker must receive at least one dose of an approved vaccine. If they don’t, they’ll be placed on unpaid leave.
On this week’s episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, it’s the city workers versus vaccine mandates. In addition to exploring how the city got to this point, we speak with popular lawyer Michael Barasch, of "Barasch and McGarry", about whether or not unions have any legal ground to challenge this latest mandate.
We also speak to Geoff Danket, an editor at one of our sister stations in Chicago. After seeing similar events take place there, he provides insight as to what may happen here in New York.
On this week's In Depth Podcast, we take a look at the new space race - space tourism - and what it means for the future of space travel.
On Thursday, Pfizer submitted an emergency request to the FDA for the COVID-19 vaccine for children from 5 to 11. The company says the request is "an important step in our ongoing effort" to battle the coronavirus.
On this week's episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, we wanted to provide more information to parents who may still have questions about giving their children the vaccine.
First, we speak to Nisha Gandhi, a parent and a doctor who has her 10-year-old daughter participating in the Pfizer kids' clinical trial.
We also spoke to Sharon Nachman, Chief of Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases Stony Brook Medicine, who answered questions that we gathered from parents on social media.
Also, please welcome Rabia Gursoy to our podcast. Rabia is the Audacy New York news fellow and part of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University.
In this week's episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, we explore YouTube's decision to ban all anti-vax content on its platform, as well as the impact that misinformation has on society.
In this week's episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, we explore how social media has defined Gabby Petito's tragic disappearance, as well as the ongoing investigation into her death.
In this week's In Depth Podcast we speak to Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and NYS Assemblyman David Weprin about the pros and cons of congestion pricing.
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — New York City was unprepared for Ida's flash flooding, meteorologists predicted we would see record rainfall, and our phone buzzed with emergency alerts.
However, for many, the warnings came too late. Drivers got stuck on flooded roadways, cars weighing thousands of pounds floated down city streets. On Twitter, users joked the subway looked like a scene from the Titanic. Neighborhoods like Crown Heights that are nowhere near water were turned into lakes. The next day, we woke up to stories of people who had drowned in their apartments.
The flooding hurt the poorest the hardest, those living in cheaper yet often illegal basement apartments.
These scenes brought back memories of Superstorm Sandy, but it also gave us a harsh reminder that climate change cannot be ignored.
On this episode, we will break down how climate change will impact New York City if it gets worse. This week we spoke with Sean Sublett, a meteorologist at Climate Central, a nonprofit non-advocacy organization based in Princeton. We also interviewed Bernice Rosenzweig, Professor of Environmental Science at Sarah Lawrence College, to help us understand why so much of our infrastructure failed when our area was hit with remnants of Hurricane Ida. Finally, Dr. Klaus Hans Jacob is a geophysicist and rebuilder who works at Columbia University's Earth Observatory and is a renowned disaster and climate expert.

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- After months of mounting pressure and a drastic decline in popularity due to numerous scandals, this week, Andrew Cuomo formally resigned as the Governor of New York.
As he transitions out of office, all eyes have shifted to his successor: Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul.
Who is Kathy Hochul? Well, that’s the topic of our latest In Depth Podcast.
Although some local politicians and upstate citizens are familiar with her work, the whole country is interested in finding out who she really is and what she’s truly capable of.
In this episode, in addition to delving into the events that lead to Hochul’s rise, 1010 WINS reporter Al Jones speaks to two top women in New York’s political circle, NYS Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, and gauges their thoughts on her shattering the state’s glass ceiling and how they think she’ll do in office.
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — This week, New York Attorney General Letitia James released the results of an investigation that found Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women, in violation of federal and state laws.
The blistering report, which comes amid a pandemic and a looming election, has Cuomo's political career on thin ice. Will this be the end of the Cuomo era in New York? We asked long-time political consultant Hank Sheinkopf to join us for analysis.
We also spoke to "Bitten by the Tiger" author Jack O'Donnell about his book — which breaks down the political career of William Sulzer — to see what we can learn about the last impeachment of a governor in New York.
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — There's a new push to try and stop the spread of the delta variant -- mandating vaccines. This week we've seen local officials calling for state and city workers to either get the jab or submit to weekly testing. Can they do that? What about your employer?
While the numbers for hospitalizations and deaths are still relatively low, a spike in new COVID-19 cases, with a majority of them being caused by the delta variant, is causing a new string of reactions from government officials and local businesses. Some are requiring you to get the vaccine before you can go to work, with the city saying they would even withhold pay.
On this episode, we'll look at whether employees are required to get a vaccination to work. We'll speak with an employment attorney and jobs expert, Jonathan Bell, to find workers' rights. We'll also check in with Sarah Henry from the museum of the city of new york to see how this vaccination push compared to previous vaccine campaigns.

COVID-19 cases are on the rise in the city, and it's driven by the highly contagious delta variant. It was first found in India, but it's now so widespread that progress has been reversed in some countries that had to enact new lockdowns.
On this episode, we will learn what conditions are like in countries that were hit with the Delta variant sooner than the US. We'll find out why the Delta variant is more dangerous than the original strain. And if New York City's small businesses can withstand another lockdown if the case numbers continue to increase.
Joining us this week is Tom Allard, a correspondent for Reuters who is stationed in Indonesia. We will also speak to Dr. Irwin Redlener, the director of Columbia University's pandemic resource and response initiative. And lastly, we chat with Randy Peers, President and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
On a special In Depth we speak with Northwell Health CEO, Michael Dowling as he refects on the last 16 months of the pandemic.
It was one of the worst periods of the pandemic at Northwell Health’s 23 hospitals. Forty-nine COVID patients in early March had swelled to almost 3,500 by early April. Throughout the pandemic, Dowling set aside time every day to walk the hospital units so he could personally thank workers for their sacrifices and heroic efforts to save lives.
On April 5, Dowling stopped in at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. That’s where he met Chris Summers, a physician’s assistant. They spoke for a few minutes, wished each other well, and then Summers said something that shook Dowling: “He told me his mother had just died.”
Dowling told Summers to take a break and take some time off, but he said Summers' response was, “No.” “He said, I’m with my team. I’m here. I’m doing my job. I have to stay. This is where I’m needed. I’m with my team.”
Dowling called the experience one of the most impactful he has experienced. It has been 15 months since Dowling and Summers have seen each other, but that changed when the two were reunited during a 1010 WINS In Depth podcast.
Reporter Glenn Schuck sat down with Dowling to look back at the impact of the pandemic on the state’s largest private health care system. During the interview, the CEO discusses the personal impact of COVID-19 on his family, the impact on his faith, his opinion on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of nursing homes, and why Northwell Health was so prepared for the crisis while so many others were not.
Of the lessons of COVID-19, Dowling said, “We will all be better because we went through this. Every so often you need to get a kick in the butt to remind you of the fragility of all of us.”
Northwell lost 24 staff members to COVID, and at its height, 90 patients died of the disease every day.

It's called "The Great Resignation," and it could bring dramatic changes to New York City.
Employees are saying "I quit" more than ever. The pandemic has changed every aspect of our lives, especially the way we work and where we work or if we still work at all. Economists describe "The Great Resignation" as the boom of people resigning from their jobs post-pandemic. Surveys show up to 40 percent of workers plan on leaving within the next few months, and we're already seeing a sharp increase of workers sending in their resignation letters.
On this episode, we will explain why experts believe the great resignation is coming, how this could change the dynamics of neighborhoods, retail, and even tourism in new york city, and the conversations workers should have before leaving their jobs.
This week we speak to Axios business reporter Erica Pandey whose done extensive reporting on the great resignation. We also chat with our small business expert, Rob Walsh, to see how this impacts the city. And lastly, we catch up with TikToker @KatieYowYow, a tech recruiter who has been getting many career questions on social media centered around resignation.

A week after a tragic collapse in Surfside, rescue crews continue to search for bodies under a mountain of rubble and debris. With more than a dozen dead and hundreds missing, we are left wondering what exactly happened and is it a warning for NYC. This week we'll talk to Washington Post reporter Meryl Kornfield, who is in Surfside covering the tragedy. We also speak to structural engineer Allyn Kilsheimer who has been hired by Surfside to figure out what went wrong. Kilsheimer has done this before when he investigated 9/11. We will also hear from Cameraon Lory, from ARC PC in New York City, a company that does forensic work determining structural problems in New York. And lastly, we chat with attorney Steve Wagner, managing partner at Wagner, Berkof, and Brandt to learn what information owners and renters have access to, in regards to the safety of the buildings they live in.
As pride month comes to an end and the city celebrates everything queer in bright colors, we take a moment to look at how we got here and the future of pride in NYC.
Pride from the early days looked very different from what it does today, from police brutality and the Stonewall Inn riots to, now, police officers walking in parades and corporations selling rainbow-colored everything. Some activists say that pride has become a corporate branded party, ignoring the struggles of the LGBTQ+ community. This week we will explore corporate involvement in pride and the frustration between LGBTQ NYPD officers and pride organizers.
Sue Doster is the co-chair for NYC pride, and she tells us corporate involvement was almost nonexistent in the early days of pride. We’ll also speak with Jay Walker, one of the founders of the reclaim pride Coalition. And lastly, we will hear from Brian Downey, the gay officers’ action league president.
As the country commemorates the Juneteenth holiday, we wanted to add some perspective to the significance of the day by looking back at the history of being black in America and the future.
This week we'll talk to a living connection to our country's troubled racial history. Daniel Smith is the son of a slave. He'll share with us the stories he heard from his father, his perspective on the social movements that impact our world today, and his hopes for the future.
We'll also be joined by Councilwoman Inez Barron, who, along with her husband, have been the leaders of a bill to conduct a study on how to determine reparations for black people in New York.
Last week, longtime morning reporter John Montone announced that he would be retiring from his daily morning radio duties on 1010 WINS.
We asked our morning anchor Lee Harris to record a conversation with John Montone, to talk about his almost forty years of working in the radio and news business. Glenn Schuck joined them to share his memories of listening to and working with John.
Please listen and enjoy this special edition of "In Depth" as we continue our tribute to John Montone.

This week, the city and the nation remembered and reflected on the death of George Floyd a year after he was killed. Amid the pandemic, a video sparked sadness, anger and highlighted a movement of change, Black Lives Matter.
On this episode, we want to break down why the BLM movement started, why it's been important in major cities, and how the murder of George Floyd has impacted the movement.
Joining us this week is Chivona Newsom, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter, to discuss how the group is trying to have their voice heard in New York City. We'll also speak to Detective Felicia Richards, the President of the NYPD Guardians Association, a group established to promote equality among black police officers.
Also, please welcome Femi Redwood to the podcast filling in for Al Jones.
If you are vaccinated and have no pre-existing conditions, the CDC says you do not need to wear a mask in most situations. After over a year of a pandemic and a push to make sure everyone was wearing face coverings and socially distancing, now some people can take off their masks.
This week we'll look at the science and the psychology of masks wearing. What allows vaccinated Americans to take off their masks and the messaging from government officials has changed.
For the science, we'll speak with two medical experts, Dr. Syra Madad, the senior director of system-wide special pathogens for NYC Health + Hospitals, and we'll also talk to Dr. Adam Jarrett, the Chief Medical Officer Of Holy Name Medical Center In Jersey City. We'll speak with Dr. Jeffery Gardere, also known as America's psychologist, about the mental impact of removing your mask.
Last weekend, a shooting in Times Square left two women and a four-year-old girl injured. This week, a shooting in Brooklyn left a Police Officer in the hospital with multiple gunshots being stopped by his bulletproof vest – just two of the most recent incidents of gun violence in New York City.
On this week's episode, we look at the increase in gun violence and what can be done to stop it.
Our first guest is Jeffrey Butts, the Director of the Research and Evaluation Center at John Jay College Of Criminal Justice, to discuss the causes of the increase.
We'll also speak with Queens Borough President Donavan Richards, a vocal advocate against gun violence. He recently held a rally demanding an end to shooting and calling for justice for the victims.
