New Jersey Senator Corey Booker urges indicted Senator Robert Menendez to step down. Meanwhile, a NJ think-tank suggests that the state could address NJ Transit's $1 billion deficit by maintaining a corporate tax surcharge. Also, the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia are expected to dissipate by evening, as per the National Weather Service. Finally, with the rise in remote work, the dynamics of New York City neighborhoods like Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn are evolving. Gone are the days of consistently packed subway cars during rush hour. But how has this shift impacted communities, especially when many now work from home? Jeffrey Lefrancois, chair of a Manhattan Community Board covering Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, and Clinton, and Gib Veconi, chair of Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council, join us for a discussion on these changing neighborhood dynamics.
Happy Halloween, everyone! Kristy's trapped in a haunted mansion due to underfunded local infrastructure! Also, there's a lot of scrapbooking and a trip to a fabric shop, which makes Esther very happy. On today's agenda: making chaos work for you; reasonably sized haunted mansions; an important PSA about your old cassette tapes; we finally take an editorial position on Dan Quayle; the triumphant return of Kristy Noir; Jamie Newton confronts his own mortality; unrealistic expectations of archival research; Hurricane Ophelia or GTFO; pizza topping scapegoats; a criminal waste of Chekhovian servants' bells; primary sources for DAYS; kisses vs burgers; dying of spleen; turns out the real ghost was the patriarchy all along. Our theme song is "The Incredible Shrinking Larry" by Matt Oakley and "Big Band Jingle A" is by Lobo Loco, both on Free Music Archive.

The 2017 hurricane season was a record-setting year for hurricanes. Hurricane Harvey dumped more rain on Houston than ever recorded in any US city. Hurricane Irma was the longest-lasting powerful hurricane or typhoon ever recorded worldwide. Hurricane Maria is regarded as the worst natural disaster on record for Puerto Rico and was the second in a line of powerful hurricanes to hit the island in a span of just 2 weeks. Hurricane Ophelia was the strongest eastern Atlantic hurricane on record. Are hurricanes getting stronger and more frequent? Could this be attributed to climate change? Was the 2017 hurricane season evidence for a new normal of hurricane strength and frequency? What exactly do we mean by an extreme event? How should we rebuild our coastal cities to be resilient to more intense hurricanes? Listen in as UREx SRN graduate fellow Robert Hobbins interviews several researchers in the UREx SRN about their thoughts regarding each of these critical questions.

Googi The Liverpool Duck was a song I wrote for a local girl called Penny Page who had a ventriloquist act and it has a strange history....I wrote it in the 70's purely for her act and a few years later she recorded it as a single 45 on her husband's (David Alexander) record label....at the time it sold in droves and she performed it on the Palladium and other TV appearances....it went on to be used in a TV drama which became a film....this week it has made the local charts ; on radio Merseyside where people vote for the worst novelty records ever....in at number 6...rock on 40 years later. Wirral has also been in the charts...there has been a national survey as to the happiest place to live in Britain and Wirral came third !!!...which is close...it is actually the BEST place to live but it's best if we keep it to ourselves....we don't want to be invaded by strangers. There is a move afoot to increase the penalties for death by dangerous driving....it is suggested a life sentence be invoked...which I am all for as when you are driving like an idiot you KNOW what you are doing and you are in charge of a lethal weapon...HOWEVER as I see it the problem could be easily solved by putting speed cameras everywhere....a fortune would be made in fines until the boneheads finally got the message....and the cameras would pay for themselves....but apparently you can't set up a speed camera until there has been THREE fatalities in that area....SO CHANGE THE LAW.....also I believe the cameras are self contained and send out the fine notices without requiring staff....it's a no brainer....but obviously not to the powers that be. Harvey Weinstein has been headline news with all the ladies deciding to report their unwanted alleged sexual encounters with him...he aint the best looking bloke in the world is he?....the main point is if the ladies didn't go along with his advances they wouldn't get acting jobs....I....some of the victims; have said it was several times....wouldn't you walk away after once?...obviously at the time fame was more important than your honour....it won't be long before blokes will be accused of sexual harassment for watching women's football. We are getting the remains of Hurricane Ophelia which give the media the opportunity to dramatise and over-sensationalise the situation....and scare the daylights out of us....I've seen worse....when the worst storms in the history of Wirral struck in the 80's it was also a time on high tides and there was a ballroom attached to New Brighton Baths...which is right on the coast....which was totally washed out as the promenade was destroyed and the tide crashed through the walls.....and guess who was playing there that night...yep you got it in one....wasn't one of our better gigs.
It's Wednesday, and not even a hurricane could stop this week's episodes! Though, I mean, it did, like, delay recording by a day, but still. The lads are joined by the comedian and writer, Martin Angolo (He doesn't have Twitter, but check out his Facebook page HERE) for chats about Hurricane Ophelia, how they weathered the storm, and the new RuPaul show, Skin Wars! They also chat about Matt Berry, Chris Morris, Monkey Dust, and Martin discusses his new show, More Jokes About Buildings and Food, and gives us one of the jokes that didn't make it into the show!
