• New York State Senator Pete Harckham (D, WF - 40TH, Westchester & the Hudson Valley), chair of the Environmental Conservation Committee, discusses the latest on New York's climate law and its fate in the state budget.
• The city has plans to fix a crumbling section of the BQE known as the "triple cantilever" in Brooklyn Heights, but many say the problems with the expressway are bigger than just that section. Allen Swerdlowe, architect and fellow at the American Institute of Architects, specialist at the Fulbright Foundation, and founding trustee of Brooklyn Bridge Park, Michael Kimmelman, architecture critic for The New York Times and the author of The Intimate City: Walking New York (Penguin Press, 2022), and Sam Schwartz, former longtime "Gridlock Sam" columnist at the Daily News, former NYC Traffic Commissioner, president and CEO of Sam Schwartz Engineering, a transportation planning and engineering firm, and author of No One at the Wheel: Driverless Cars and the Road of the Future (Public Affairs, 2018), talk about the BQE's history and what they think could be done to address the problems it presents to the neighborhoods it runs through.
• All three major Western religions are in holiday season at once. Today, a little more than a week into Ramadan, Muslims call in to talk about how simple or complicated their relationship with their religion is, and how it compares to that of their parents. Plus, they name one ritual of the season that has meaning for them.
