Nov 07, 2012
Hosted by Mary Shell.
Stories on adaptation, improvisation, and people learning to deal on the fly during tough times. We'll take you to communities dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in Brooklyn and New Jersey. We'll also take a look at the city's plan (or lack of one) as its numbers of homeless increase. On Long Island, we'll visit the abandoned laboratory where the 19th century inventor, Nikola Tesla, envisioned the modern world. We'll also travel to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to talk to Syrian-Americans on opposite sides of a growing political conflict. Plus performances from rappers Art and LeDoubleNY! (58 min.) Produced by Justin Mitchell. Stories by Willis Arnold, Sean Carlson, Tom DiChristopher, Ajai Raj, Daisy Rosario, and Christine Streich. www.audiofilespodcast.com
