The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 17, 2014
This fall, the Brian Lehrer Show is marking 25 years of Brian at WNYC with a year-by-year look at stories that mattered from 1989 to 2014. Find the full schedule and lots more here.
On August 13, 2003, more than 50 million people lost power in the U.S. and Canada. New Yorkers had no electricity for two days. Bryan Walsh, environment and energy reporter for Time and the man behind the Ecocentric blog, talks about what caused the Blackout and what it has meant for the power grid, and we take your calls with memories.
