Coming up on today's show:
- Angie Schmitt, writer, planning consultant and author of Right of Way: Race, Class and the Silent Epidemic of Pedestrian Deaths in America (Island Press, 2020), explains how Hoboken and Jersey City prevent traffic deaths so effectively, and what the rest of the country can learn from their policies. And Jimmy Lee, board president at Safe Streets JC, tells us what he hopes Jersey City will continue to achieve.
- Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. senator (D NY), talks about her work in Washington, including support for Ukraine and her priorities for the lame duck session in the Senate.
- Michael Kimmelman, architecture critic for The New York Times and the author of The Intimate City: Walking New York (Penguin Press, 2022) talks about his new book that grew from a series of walks around NYC he took during the COVID lockdown, exploring the history, architecture, and challenges facing the many neighborhoods he visited.
- Listeners call-in to share what charities they're giving to this year, how they decide what causes to give to, and any other considerations taken into account when 'Giving Tuesday' rolls around each year.
