ethagnawl<p>WNYC's New Sounds is on the chopping block. Please consider supporting this incredible show. </p><p>If you're not familiar with the program, I highly recommend checking it out.

David Ruffner<p>I called in to Ask Governor Murphy about congestion pricing on WNYC last night. I shared that I save 10-20 minutes on every ride with the NJTransit bus into NYC, and asked him why he is opposed to it. I asked if he can find a way to keep the faster commute and reduced pollution.</p><p>He said that he is not completely against congestion pricing but that he wants a fair deal. I'm not satisfied yet, but am grateful to have the opportunity to ask Governor Murphy a question.<br><a href="https://raphus.social/tags/wnyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wnyc</span></a> <br><a href="https://raphus.social/tags/congestionPricing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>congestionPricing</span></a> <br><a href="https://raphus.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <br><a href="https://raphus.social/tags/newJersey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newJersey</span></a></p>

Bongolian<p>"It Happened Here 2024" A new radio play starring Edie Falco and John Turturro</p><p>"And exclusive sneak peek of a brand new radio play starring Edie Falco, John Turturro and Tony Shalhoub. Inspired by Sinclair Lewis’ dystopian novel, It Can’t Happen Here, Richard Dresser’s novel, and now 6-part radio play called It Happened Here 2024, offers a glimpse of what could happen after the 2024 election if fascism creeps into the USA. </p><p>The story centers around the Weeks family as they brace for the election. Paul and Ruth’s family work to defeat the so-called Great Leader. Paul’s brother Garret and his family are on the other side. Family get-togethers are tense. When the Great Leader, with a giant boost from the Supreme Court, shockingly wins the quote, “most important election ever,” the family is thrown into chaos."</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NPR</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WNYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WNYC</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radio</span></a><br><a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/it-happened-here-2024-a-new-radio-play-starring-edie-falco-and-john-turturro" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/a</span><span class="invisible">rticles/it-happened-here-2024-a-new-radio-play-starring-edie-falco-and-john-turturro</span></a></p>
