- Yusef Salaam, New York City Councilmember (District 9, Morningside Heights, Manhattanville-West Harlem, Hamilton Heights-Sugar Hill, parts of Harlem and the Upper West Side-Manhattan Valley), talks about his district and his priorities as one of four new members of the City Council.
- Listeners try their hand at a ten-question quiz about subway stops.
- Amanda Mull, staff writer at The Atlantic, explains where the step count goal comes from and why, despite long-standing research calling into question the purported health benefits of getting 10,000 steps a day, we remain so committed to that particular number.
- In this membership-drive mini-series, we get to know about hobbies and building skills and finding communities for fun. Today, Richard Paz, teaching artist at GlassRoots in Newark, shares his passion for glass flameworking.
