His film tells the story of McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn - one of New York's most dangerous streets, expanded under city planner Robert Moses in the 1950s into a highway-like, four-lane route cutting straight through a residential neighborhood. Over 70 years, an estimated 200 people died there. The turning point came in 2021 with the death of elementary school teacher Matthew Jensen, struck by a car on his own birthday - the spark for a three-year community movement that Ben followed with his camera. He shot almost the entire film alone, with gear that fits on a bike. He told me: "I wanted to test whether it's really possible to make a documentary without using a car at all." https://player.vimeo.com/video/1115240983? Kurze Werbung in eigener Sache: Vom 26. bis 29. September nehme ich wieder eine kleine Gruppe mit auf eine Learn&Travel-Delegation, diesmal nach Graubünden. Wir schauen uns dort live an, wie Verkehrswende in der Praxis funktioniert - vom Fahrrad bis zur Bahn, von Entsiegelung bis autonomem Fahren, von Co-Working auf dem Land bis zu erfolgreichen, weil datenbasierten Infrastrukturprojekten und Frauen als vernachlässigter Kunden*innengruppe in der Mobilität. Wenn du davon etwas mitnehmen willst in deine Kommune, deine Stadt oder an deine Hochschule: Bis zum 15. August gibt es 10 Prozent Frühbucher*innenrabatt auf die Unterkunft im Story und die Fahrkarten für Montag "for free". Alle Infos inklusive Prospekt zum Download und Anmeldung: hier. We talked about the political dysfunction behind the street redesign - Ben draws parallels to Robert Caro's book "The Power Broker" about Moses and says: " Corruption is almost a defining feature of politics in New York." He described to me how opponents of the redesign worked with false claims, for instance that narrower lanes would block emergency vehicles, and we put that in historical context: the transformative era of transportation planner Janette Sadik-Khan under Mayor Bloomberg, followed by years of purely reactive "band-aid politics" - up to today, where Ben sees new hope in New York's mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Again and again we came back to the core of his conviction: "Cars are anti-urban. They make public space unpleasant and destroy social interaction - they isolate you instead of bringing you together with others." And: only about 20 percent of residents along McGuinness Boulevard even own a car - reserving the street for them, he says, is "not a democratic solution." Despite all the accounts of political dysfunction, I ended the conversation feeling hopeful. Ben's central message, the one that stuck with me: if you can actually make a difference on a small, local problem, do exactly that "find something where you can actually make a real difference." His film "Changing Lanes" is currently available via Amazon and Canopy in the US, with European distribution in preparation. If you like this episode: Spread it and charge me a coffee

Watch This Episode On YouTubeThere's something especially New York about the sentiment of my guest, Anthony Argento, saying, "we're only going to give you what you give us" about film promotion.And in the best possible sense, that kind of New Yorker attitude is at the heart of the Greenpoint Film Festival, now celebrating its 15th year and 7th under the leadership of Mr. Argento, who started officially in 2020 but worked with the festival for a few years beforehand.The Greenpoint Film Festival first came on my radar last year when they accepted the literal second guest of the pod's film, SUNSET SOMEWHERE (2026), directed by Christopher Jarvis, and my interest only grew when I looked at their international, diverse lineup.With the organizing principle "unbound", Greenpoint is making its name as a festival for filmmakers by filmmakers, and I'm excited for it continuing under Anthony's leadership.Make your way to Greenpoint August 5th through the 9th; after listening to this episode, I think you'll realize why it's worth it.Anthony and I talk about:why should audience members and filmmakers attend the Greenpoint Film Festival;the theme of "unbound" and the lineup for the festival;what he's learned directing the festival for six (plus) years;how filmmakers should approach the film festival experience;the festival's place in NYC and nationally;social media's role in accepting films (do you check follower counts?) and what do you ask of filmmakers after accepting their film;what he's learned as a filmmaker running the festival and why he thinks it's important as a way to stay current;the future plans for the festival and what's next for him.Memorable Quotes:About running the festival during the pandemic: " I came up with the drive-in because we were able to be consolidated in their own cars, in their own bubbles, and everyone was safe and enjoying the the artworks, and we really made it happen, and I feel like that was a revolutionary step for us."" If you check on our socials, we're, posting individually for every project.""We're only going to give you what you give us."" I see this a lot...people...hold on to their film and always taking advice and always changing things up and trying to re-edit and that's the hole that you don't want to fall into."Links:Buy Tickets For the Greenpoint Film FestivalFollow Anthony On Instagram

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for ArtistsMy guest today is artist and writer Matthew Weinstein. Over the course of his career, Matthew has exhibited extensively in museums and galleries throughout the United States and internationally. His solo museum exhibitions include the Johnson Museum at Cornell University, the Orlando Museum of Art, the Mint Museum, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, and the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna. In addition to painting, his practice has also included writing, animation, film, and interactive media. His work has been featured in The New York Times, T Magazine, Artforum, Art in America, and The New Yorker, and is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Denver Art Museum, and numerous other public and private collections.I sat down with Matthew in his Greenpoint studio, where he told me why he believes every painting has a beauty mandate and why he distrusts art whose primary goal is to mean something, saying that meaning can feel like litter in a painting.  We discuss beauty versus prettiness, humor, queerness, and the way doubt and impatience are ever-present in his studio practice.Matthew also reflects on obsession, arguing that for some artists it isn't a choice, and that it is neither good nor bad, but simply the thing that fuels the work. We discuss the creative crisis that led him to explore animation and why painting and writing remain the bedrock of everything he does. Matthew also discusses his airbrush collaboration paintings,  the influence the artist Hiroshege has had on his current work and why it has taken Matthew years to figure out how to paint a straight line.

Georgia G is a 25-year-old singer/songwriter from Malahide, Dublin, now based in New York City. Writing songs for as long as she can remember, Georgia draws inspiration from artists including Sheryl Crow, Fleetwood Mac and Adele, blending elements of pop, indie rock with hints of country into her own vibrant sound. Georgia has been selected as Track of the Week multiple times, earning recognition for her infectious songwriting and distinctive sound. She has since sold out headline shows in both The Workman's Cellar and Whelan's, establishing herself as one of Dublin's exciting emerging live acts. Georgia was also chosen to perform as part of Hot Press' “Young & Emerging” series, where the magazine described her as a “hotly tipped” artist, while the Fingal Independent wrote that Georgia G is “about to take the music scene by storm.” Since then, Georgia has continued performing extensively across Ireland and the United States. In 2024, she performed on the Coca-Cola Stage at Electric Picnic, one of Ireland's biggest music festivals. In October, she also supported Aaron Rowe at a show connected with the Guinness Storehouse in Chicago. Now living in New York City, Georgia is currently playing a year-long residency in a Broadway bar while recording her debut EP before returning to Ireland for its release. Currently, she is working on music with producer Ollie Deacon-Lowpines (CMAT, Ailbhe Reddy) in a studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The upcoming project captures the experience of moving to New York in your twenties — balancing ambition, heartbreak, nightlife and homesickness — while continuing to shape the explosive and emotionally honest sound Georgia G has become known for.

This is a Vintage episode from 2005.The Restaurant Guys welcome chef-owner Liza Queen of Queen's Hideaway, a tiny Greenpoint restaurant where the menu changed with the market, the farmers, the smoker, and whatever was left in the kitchen by the end of the week.Why This Episode MattersLiza Queen explains how Queen's Hideaway built its menu around farmers, Greenmarket shopping, small quantities of meat, and improvisation.The episode captures a very specific moment in Brooklyn dining, before “market-driven neighborhood restaurant” became a polished concept.Liza talks honestly about the chaos of running a small restaurant: tiny kitchen, no air conditioning, long hours, broken equipment, landlord issues, and sudden press attention.The Guys connect Queen's Hideaway to a larger idea: great food does not need pretense, luxury, or a white-tablecloth.The conversation is a snapshot of a restaurant that became a cult favorite by cooking personally, affordably, and very much in the moment.BanterMark and Francis begin with a conversation about fine dining, New Jersey, and the complicated blessing of being so close to New York. They talk about what separates true hospitality from restaurant theater: a warm welcome, good service, and the feeling that the experience is being created for the guest.The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys welcome Liza Queen, chef-owner of Queen's Hideaway in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Liza explains that the restaurant does not really have a set menu because the cooking depends on what she can get from farmers, what meats are available, and what shows up at the Greenmarket. What sounds like a concept is, in her telling, mostly survival: if the restaurant runs out of one thing, she cooks the next best thing.Liza talks about moving back east after cooking in Portland, where she felt limited by diners who were less adventurous than she wanted to be. In Brooklyn, she opened what she imagined as a neighborhood place, only to find people coming from Manhattan, upstate, and even New Jersey after early press and word of mouth spread. The restaurant is tiny, informal, and very personal, with a front-of-house and kitchen team made up largely of friends she describes as imported family.The conversation moves through smoked meats, Wonderbread, broken ice cream makers, root vegetables, and the daily anxiety of building a menu from what the market provides. Liza is funny, humble, and matter-of-fact about the work: 8 a.m. to after midnight, six days a week, in a small kitchen with a very big personality.After the interview, Mark and Francis reflect on why Queen's Hideaway resonated. For them, the point is not trendiness or thrift alone; it is food cooked thoughtfully, with excellent ingredients, without snobbery. The episode becomes a defense of the finer things in life at every price point, from a serious restaurant meal to a great hot dog, a real waffle with ice cream, or a neighborhood place that simply cooks what it has and does it well.Timestamps0:00 Fine dining, New Jersey, and what makes hospitality feel gracious6:15  Liza Queen joins the show and explains the no-set-menu approach8:00 Liza's experience and desire to open a place on the East Coast15:00 Smoking meat, winter cooking, Wonderbread, pies, and the tiny kitchen reality21:30 Why great food does not have to be expensive or pretentious29:00 Why great food does not have to be expensive or pretentiousBioLiza Queen was the chef-owner of Queen's Hideaway in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, a small, market-driven restaurant known for its changing menu, smoked meats, pies, and fiercely personal cooking.

What does it take to make a street safer for everyone? In the US, it typically requires a combination of tragedy, grassroots organizing, and political leadership. Even when these ingredients come together, success is never guaranteed, as so many projects become battles about more than just bike lanes. Changing Lanes, a new documentary from director Ben Wolf, covers the fight to make McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, safer following the tragic death of a beloved teacher at the hands of a hit-and-run driver. Featuring interviews with such notable figures as Janette Sadik-Khan and former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, Changing Lanes moves beyond bike lanes to tell a story that's very much made for this political and cultural moment. Wolf joins us along with advocates Bronwyn Breitner and Kevin LaCherra, as well as New York State Assemblymember Emily Gallagher, to talk about how they fought to make McGuinness safe and the broader lessons they learned along the way. ***Join The War on Cars on Patreon and listen to ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content,  invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers!*** SHOW NOTES: Stream Changing Lanes on Amazon or Kanopy.

This is about Cape Town, South Africa, Part 2 of 2 Welcome to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. A few weeks ago, I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences.  The FAQ is: Should I rent a car in Cape Town? Answer: That depends on your desire to see the town and explore outside of the city. I rented for a week and drove 1,062 kilometers to the Garden Route (listen to the previous episode). On the first day of a long drive, I drove 6 hours to George on the left. A week later, as I returned the car, I still did not know how to turn on the headlights, and I was making my final trip to the airport in the rain.  I used Chat GPT at 6 am to ask, "How do the lights on the car turn on? Suzuki economy car. " When I turned in the car, the Budget Rent-A-Car attendant was impressed. His Comment was "you drove far," and he did not know it was my first time driving on the left side of the road. Listen to the Garde Route episode if you plan to drive. I could not have made arrangements to visit there without a car, as the bus schedule was up in the air.  Got a traffic ticket, not sure why The agent at Avis car rental commented, " You drove 1500 KM. That's a lot in a week. After a day of driving in town and solo driving, it got easier for me. So yes is my answer, but be willing to train your mind. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge is the Confidence Challenge in Africa and deciding where to go. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series, Book B, delves deeper into destinations such as the Seychelles, off the coast of Africa, and moves through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign-language communication tips. See Book B for addressing this concern of which destination is right for you based on your experience of solo travel. Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Cape Town, South Africa, Part 2       You'll hear two extremes: "Cape Town is dangerous." "Cape Town is totally fine." Neither is fully true. Here's what actually works: ●      Use Uber consistently ●      Do not walk alone at night ●      Avoid isolated hikes ●      Keep your phone out of sight ●      Stay in Sea Point, Green Point, or near the Waterfront And yes—security gates and alarms are normal here. That doesn't mean panic. It means awareness is built into daily life. You also need a special adapter for your electronics, as a "universal adapter" does not work in South Africa. Be warned about getting plugged in with your phone. What Most Travelers Get Wrong, because they try to treat Cape Town like ●      Paris ●      San Diego ●      Sydney It's not. If you expect ease, you'll feel tension. If you expect structure, you'll feel confident. Cape Town is layered. You'll see: ●      Natural beauty ●      Cultural depth ●      Economic contrast And if you approach it thoughtfully, you'll leave not just with photos, but with perspective. I was there in June, and it was winter. So dress for the cold. The homes are not heated, so wear lots of clothes to sleep.   Confidence doesn't come from avoiding complexity; it comes from learning to move through it and practicing.   Shout-out to my producers, Rowan and Rose, from South Africa.  My missteps: Travel Mistakes to Avoid in Cape Town   It was so cold, I should have had the right clothes.

Jeremy Pinsly on Comedy & Greenpoint Comedy Club and Nashville Comedy | The Brett Allan Show This episode of The Brett Allan Show welcomes stand-up comedian, producer, and comedy entrepreneur Jeremy Pinsly. With over 15 years in the New York City comedy scene, Jeremy has built a reputation for creating unique, grassroots comedy experiences—from intimate apartment shows to full-scale club productions. Jeremy shares stories from his early days performing across NYC, producing shows everywhere from classic comedy clubs to underground speakeasies. He also reflects on his one-of-a-kind podcast with 89-year-old comedian and actress Dev Rogers, recorded in her rent-stabilized Upper West Side apartment—a project that blended generations of comedy and life wisdom. We also dive into Bubbe's Comedy Hour, the wildly successful apartment comedy show Jeremy co-created with his wife Kayla, which ran for over two years and became a cult favorite among comedy fans. Now based in Nashville, Jeremy is continuing to build the comedy scene in a major way—producing shows at iconic venues like Friends in Low Places on Broadway and launching new spaces for stand-up across the city. Most recently, he founded the Greenpoint Comedy Club, marking an exciting new chapter in his career. If you're a fan of stand-up, comedy culture, or the hustle behind building something from the ground up, this episode delivers insight, laughs, and inspiration.

How can we effectively reduce traffic and reclaim streets for public use? Interview with Ben Wolf, producer and director of Changing Lanes. We will talk about his vision for the future of cities, people-centred cities, reclaiming public space for the public, micromobility, electric bikes, and many more. Ben Wolf is a producer, director, and cinematographer known for his work on acclaimed documentaries including Note by Note, Obit, and contributions to Gary Hustwit's Helvetica, Objectified, Urbanized, and Rams. Splitting time between Brooklyn and Sicily, he is an avid cyclist.

Jeremy Pinsly! Comedian! New comedy club owner! Friend! Delight! More! Jeremy and I have a great chat! You can have a great listen! And here's some information from the press release about his new club: ANNOUNCING OPENING WEEKEND OF THE GREENPOINT COMEDY CLUB  APRIL 10-11, 2026 NYC'S NEWEST VENUE FOR COMEDY AND MORE LOCATION: 66 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222 OPENING WEEKEND: Friday April 10th and Saturday April 11th ​Tickets: https://www.greenpointcomedyclub.com/   February 25, 2026 - New York, NY -  NYC comedy favorite and veteran show producer Jeremy Pinsly and his wife and business partner Kayla Pinsly will open The Greenpoint Comedy Club this spring. Greenpoint Comedy Club will feature the best comics in NYC and beyond and boasts a thoughtfully designed bar room where you can find expertly crafted cocktails (and more!) from afternoons through 2AM. The venue is over 2,000 square feet in a prime location in Greenpoint. The bar will open in late March, with a grand opening weekend on Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11. Live comedy will kick off on April 10 with an 8PM show, followed by an opening party with music, food and some of the coolest comics in NYC. The weekend will continue on April 11 with two shows at 7:30PM and 10:15PM.  Greenpoint Comedy Club is a venue for comics, by a comic. From top of the line lighting and A/V systems to the design of the space, every detail of this club has been considered to maximize the experience for both the comics and the audience. This will be a place for comics to work regular spots, headliner nights and record their specials. Jeremy aims to create a place for comedians at all stages of their career to have an opportunity to reach new audiences.  Jeremy has performed and produced stand-up in NYC and on the road for more than 15 years, He's produced shows in comedy clubs, speakeasies, a boxing gym, and a brownstone in Cobble Hill, where monthly shows sold out consistently for two years. Armed with a unique sense of what works and what is missing from most comedy venues, Jeremy and Kayla aim to make the Greenpoint Comedy Club a destination for the best comedy in NYC. As Jeremy describes, GCC's mission is "to run the highest quality show possible while also giving younger comics a chance to get their start." Greenpoint Comedy Club will serve as an incubator for the comedy scene. With a mission to bring "the hang" back, guests and performers are welcome to mingle and network before and after performances. Jeremy says: "We want to create a club where you can spend an evening, not just see a show and go. We've intentionally designed this space so you can grab a drink and meet new friends all night long." With a cozy atmosphere, ample seating and a top tier alcohol program curated by industry veteran and skilled mixologist Dory Greenberg, GCC aims to be a spot where you can grab a great drink and stay a while. While comedy is at the heart of everything Greenpoint Comedy Club does, the club will also feature live music, writing workshops and even after school programs with the intention of offering a space for creatives of all types to gather. ABOUT THE GREENPOINT COMEDY CLUB: The Greenpoint Comedy Club is NYC's newest comedy club located in the nightlife center of Greenpoint. By offering regular standup shows, unique produced shows and live music in a cozy, speakeasy environment, Greenpoint Comedy Club aims to be a flagship destination for NYC nightlife. ABOUT JEREMY PINSLY: Jeremy Pinsly, born in Nashville, has performed standup comedy in NYC for the past 15 years. He has produced standup shows at comedy clubs, bars, restaurants, and speakeasies all over NYC.

In 2022 Jeremy and his now wife Kayla started a comedy show in their apartment, Bubbe's Comedy Hour, that ran successfully for over 2 years. Most recently Jeremy started a comedy production business in Nashville, TN where he ran shows at Friends in Low Places on Broadway, Music City Boxing Gym and other venues all over the city.

Hafiz Mangalji is the founder of Hyunah Coffee Club, a reservations-only members' space tucked into a Greenpoint, Brooklyn, studio where serious home brewers and industry obsessives come to use equipment many can't afford to own themselves, drink coffees from roasters they've been following for years, and hang out with other people who care about water chemistry. In other words, this is completely our shit. For $30 a month, you get access to Weber Workshops grinders, Decent Espresso machines, a rotating global roaster marketplace, and a hi-fi sound system. It's not a café. It's not a class. It's a club—and Hafiz talks about why that distinction matters.

We all move through the same world, but we don’t all notice the same things. In this episode, Danielle speaks with visual artist Daniel Arsham about what it actually means to pay attention, and how refining that skill can shape not just your worldview, but your creativity and success. From choosing to live inside a 90-square-foot space in his own studio to building a global career spanning art, fashion, and design, Arsham’s life is a case study in the art of perception. Today, his work sits at the intersection of culture and luxury, collaborating with brands like Dior, Porsche, Tiffany & Co., and Pokémon, with sculptures that sell for millions and exhibitions that draw thousands across multiple continents. This conversation goes beyond aesthetics and into something deeper: how we train ourselves to notice, what we filter out, and how those choices quietly shape what we create, a philosophy he explores further in his new memoir, Future Relic. In this episode, you’ll learn: Daniel’s take on the art of noticing, and how photography first taught him that a camera is not just for documenting the world, but for framing a personal way of seeing it. The idea behind failure as a creative necessity. Why Daniel says success often comes down to being willing to fail longer than most people are comfortable with. How his humble beginnings at his Greenpoint studio became a key lesson in his career. Why Daniel wanted his memoir Future Relic to focus so heavily on process, detours, and setbacks What Daniel considers his clearest public failure, and why most creative disappointments matter far less than they feel like they do in the moment. The story of Daniel building a full-scale cardboard replica of Emmanuel Perrotin’s gallery inside his studio as a way of pitching himself. The changing value of handmade work in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world Daniel’s take on taste, which he says is developed through exposure, travel, and experience, not something you are simply born with.

In this episode of A Table in the Corner, Russel sits down with Philippa and Graham Oldfield, the partners behind Bao Down, one of Cape Town's most beloved independent restaurants. The conversation traces their parallel routes through chef school, hotels, yachts and serious kitchens, before converging in a small, hard working room in Vredehoek Avenue that would quietly build a cult following.Philippa and Graham talk about learning discipline under pressure, the influence of Liam Tomlin's kitchens, and why Bao Down was never conceived as a trend-driven project but as a tightly run, repeatable place built on flavour, consistency and trust. They unpack the thinking behind bao as a format, ingredient sourcing, cost control and portioning, and how a simple menu can still demand precision night after night.The discussion also moves into growth, parenthood and sustainability, from scaling up to the Green Point space to building a long standing team and stepping back from the floor without losing standards. This is a grounded, honest conversation about running a restaurant for the long haul, balancing ambition with family life, and why some rooms earn loyalty by doing a few things properly rather than everything at once.You can view the Bao Down menu hereGet a fair price with HeadsUpEvery booking is a first impression.

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists.My guest today is Sarah D'Ambrosio. Sarah is a Brooklyn-based artist who earned her BFA from Brooklyn College and her MFA at University of New Hampshire. She also studied at the Mount Gretna School of Art in Pennsylvania. Most recently Sarah has exhibited at the New York Studio School Projects at DUMBO and NADA Miami and her first solo exhibition was at MARCH Gallery in 2025.Swimmingly convenient as it turned out, Sarah is my neighbor. So after convincing her to join me for this episode, I packed up my microphones and took a brisk 10 minute walk to her live work space in Greenpoint. It's nice to be back in New York!This conversation was a blast. Sarah discusses her love of Yellow Medium, and how color historically comes later in her work - Sarah is a drawer first. She talks about scale, observational painting, painting as a physical act, sincerity, why formula's are boring, drawing from Titian, the search for quality and the importance of criticism. We also discuss why painting needs life not just more painting, color value and the “harmony of mud,” analysis paralysis, failing on higher and higher levels, when a painting stops buzzing, also Lucian Freud and Donald Duck. And that's just to get started.

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists.My guest today is Jameson Green. Jameson is an artist living and working in Hudson, NY. He holds an MFA from Hunter College. Green has exhibited extensively with Derek Eller Gallery and Almine Rech, including solo exhibitions in New York, Paris, London, Brussels, and Santa Monica. His work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Dallas Museum of Art, Museo Picasso Málaga, and ICA Miami. You can also find Green's work in the public collections of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the High Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Pérez Art Museum in Miami.A couple weeks ago, Jameson braved a wild rainstorm to visit my Greenpoint studio—a rare reversal for this show. What followed was one of the most fluid and wide-ranging conversations I've had on ARTMATTERS, so I've split it into two episodes. On today's show Jameson and I discuss the three elements of great painting, draftsmen vs. pure painters, drawing, sampling from art books and other paintings, rhythm, abstraction, narrative, and why great paintings are littered with hypocrisy. We also discuss Frances Bacon, John Singer Sargent, Guston, Picasso, Matisse, and Jenna Gribbon. Enjoy this conversation with Jameson Green.Special shoutout to my fluffy silent producer who finally made a sound mid-episode. Extra points if you hear her over the rain:)ARTMATTERS is listener-supported. If you want more conversations like this, take 30 seconds right now to leave a five-star review.

New York City voters will see several questions on their ballots that aim to make it easier to build housing. Alec Schierenbeck, executive director of the Charter Revision Commission argues in favor of the measures, and Lincoln Restler, New York City Council member (District 33, Greenpoint, Northside Williamsburg, South Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Boerum Hill, Vinegar Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Navy Yard), explains why much of the City Council is opposed to the changes. Then, Andrew Berman, executive director of Village Preservation, shares why his group is opposed to ballot questions 2 through 4.

As Eric Adams says, New York is the Zagreb of America. People from all over the world come to New York to make their dreams come true. And sometimes, those dreams are illegal. Today we talk about the second indictment for longtime Adams consigliere Ingrid Lewis-Martin for taking a TV series cameo in exchange for impeding a street safety redesign that would have complicated access to co-defendants Gina and Tony Argento's Broadway Stages in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Other aides are swept up in that case too. And then there's Winnie Greco, Adams's longtime liaison to the Chinese-American community, who apparently tried to give approximately $140 to reporter Katie Honan of THE CITY, a sum that was placed in a red envelope stuffed inside an empty bag of potato chips.Greatest city in the world.In non-Eric Adams news, John Bolton's home outside Washington D.C. was raided by the FBI early Friday morning, apparently searching for classified documents. Ken and I discuss what showings the DOJ must have made to get the search warrant. Plus: Kilmar Abrego Garcia's arguments that he is being subjected to selective and vindictive prosecution, an appeals court in New York threw out the nearly half-billion dollar disgorgement penalty against Trump and his businesses, Newsmax will pay $67 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle defamation litigation about the 2020 election, and a judge's decision that Alina Habba isn't the US Attorney for New Jersey, and we look at a favorable ruling for the beleaguered Media Matters for America.Visit serioustrouble.show for a transcript of this episode.

Discover the magic of community-driven cat rescue in our latest Friends Like Us episode. Join host Marina Franklin, Becky Wisdom from Green Point Cats, and comedian Subhah Agarwal as they chat about cat colonies, TNR, and the urgency to help communities in the over populations of cats.  Becky Wisdom is the founder of Greenpoint Cats, a leading Brooklyn-based animal rescue organization focused on TNR (trap, neuter, return). Her journey into rescue began in 2018 when she moved to Greenpoint and found herself living on a block with a crew of unforgettable feline neighbors—an encounter that inspired her to take action. What started as an effort to help a few street cats quickly became a full-time calling. By 2020, Becky had left her career in marketing to devote herself entirely to rescue work. Her grassroots efforts sparked a growing community of animal advocates in Greenpoint and beyond, building a network of support and care for some of the city's most vulnerable animals. Her passion for rescue is deeply rooted in her upbringing, which included daily chores like caring for opossums and rehabilitating birds. With media coverage from New York Magazine, the Hallmark Channel, and several local TV news outlets, Becky continues to save lives—and inspire others to do the same. Subhah Agarwal has brought an honesty to her comedy that will leave you saying "I didn't need to know that." Subhah has written for Netflix's “Arsenio Hall” limited series, the "Plan B" movie on Hulu," and The Jim Jefferies Show"on Comedy Central, amongst others. You can also catch her jokes live at stand up comedy clubs across the country. If you don't want to leave your couch, you can see her late night debut on NBC's "A Little Late With Lilly Singh." She's also appeared on season three of HBO's "Westworld", "General Hospital," TruTv's sketch comedy "Friends of the People", and as herself on MTV2, Comedy Central, and Gotham Comedy Live.
