The Database of Fentanyl Overdose; Call Senator Gillibrand; Crime in NYC; Your Favorite Movies in 2022

Coming up on today's show: 

• With news that the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl is responsible for a continued rise in overdose deaths in New York City and elsewhere, Sam Quinones, independent journalist and the author of Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic and (now in paperback), The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth (Bloomsbury, 2021), and Courtney McKnight, assistant professor of epidemiology at NYU's School of Global Public Health, talk about the drug and what makes it so life-threatening and resistant to efforts to stem its abuse.
• Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. Senator (D NY), talks about her work in Washington and more.
• 1993 saw the inauguration of a Democratic U.S. president and a Republican mayor of New York. In this series, we explore the elections and policies of Pres. Clinton and Mayor Giuliani and their impact on the world in 2023. Today, Bill Bratton, former New York City police commissioner and the author (with Peter Knobler) of The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America (Penguin Press, 2021), followed by Al Sharpton, civil rights leader, host of MSNBC’s PoliticsNation, founder and president of the National Action Network (NAN) and the author of Righteous Troublemakers: Untold Stories of the Social Justice Movement in America (Hanover Square Press, 2022), look back at the effect of the Clinton crime bill and the Giuliani administration's policies.
• In honor of the Oscar nominations announcement yesterday, we're asking listeners what their favorite movie moments of the last year were. What movies did you love and what movies brought you back to the theaters?
