In office less than two months, President Donald Trump is sending economic shockwaves across the world — including New York City. From cutting the federal workforce to launching massive tariffs, Trump's fiscal moves are already having an impact on Wall Street and the rest of the five boroughs. Greg David, an economics reporter from the news outlet The City, has been detailing how Trump's measures could affect New York City residents. David joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the vulnerabilities of various federal aid programs like Medicaid and food stamps, the potential effects of the stock market's decline, what tariffs could mean for local businesses and the broader economic impact for the city's post-pandemic recovery. They also examined the lack of clarity on economic policies among New York mayoral candidates. ***Spectrum News NY1 and Roosevelt House will be co-hosting a special panel discussion on the political career and legacy of New York City Mayor John Lindsay.

The five months since Mayor Eric Adams was indicted have consisted of an extraordinary sequence of events that has found the mayor bruised but emboldened, still firmly in office, and about to launch a campaign for re-election. Katie Honan, a reporter for The CITY and co-host of the FAQ NYC podcast, has been closely following the mayor through these many twists and turns. Honan joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss several issues surrounding Adams, including his legal troubles, loss of security clearance, and the recent resignations of four deputy mayors on the same day. They also touched on the strategies of other mayoral candidates as they prepare for the June primary, including the “will he or won't he” role of Andrew Cuomo in the race. ***Spectrum News NY1 and Roosevelt House will be co-hosting a special panel discussion on the political career and legacy of New York City Mayor John Lindsay.

In 2003, an East Texas couple adopted three young Russian children. Over the years, there were countless red flags for child abuse, especially against the oldest child, Alexey, who began running away when he was 12. He ended up on the doorstep of the Roosevelt House, an emergency shelter, assessment center, and residential care facility for children removed from abusive situations, usually by CPS. The home's founder, Diane Black, had no idea that her battle to save Alexey and his sisters, Anastasia and Svetlana, would upend life as she knew it.Diane detailed the story of Alexey, his sisters, the Roosevelt House, and the egregious systemic failure of the Texas child protection system in a book called Dead Dog Road: A True Story Into the Dark World of an Abused Child. In this episode, you'll hear my recent conversation with Diane about the appalling ways CPS and law enforcement failed Alexey, Anastasia, and Svetlana, and much more.This is Episode 176: Dead Dog Road.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.

It's all too common that our high school graduates go on to college unprepared for the rigor of the college classroom. Or that they go into the workforce without the tools and knowledge they need to succeed. It's costing everyone dearly--from the cost to our industries to train new graduates to even those graduates' future incomes. Stanley Litow, today's guest, has a solution. And it's one that's been growing since its inception as a single school in Brooklyn, NY in 2011. Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) has since grown to 240 schools in 12 states and 28 countries and has helped to close the achievement gap among some of the most undereducated youth. On this episode, Stanley explains the philosophy behind P-TECH, how it supports schools, students and industry, why it saves us all money, and what we as educational leaders can do to help support models like this. About Stanley Litow: Stanley S. Litow is a Professor at both Columbia and Duke University. At Duke University, he also serves as Innovator in Residence. Stan is the author of The Challenge for Business and Society: From Risk to Reward and co-author of Breaking Barriers: How P-Tech Schools Create a Pathway from High School to College to Career. He previously served as President of the IBM International Foundation and as Deputy Chancellor of Schools for the City of New York. Before his service at IBM and the NYC public schools, he served as President and Founder of Interface and as Executive Director of the NYC Urban Corps, operated out of the Mayor's Office. He has served on multiple Presidential and Gubernatorial Commissions and in addition to his service on the SUNY Board of Trustees; he also serves on the board of Roosevelt House and the Citizens Budget Commission. Stan helped devise the innovative school to college to career program called P-TECH, as well as the IBM Corporate Service Corps, often referenced as the corporate version of the Peace Corps. He has received multiple awards for his community service, from organizations such as the Anne Frank Commission, the Martin Luther King Commission, and the Center for an Urban Future as well as the Corning Award from the New York State Business Council.

In this episode of The Gotham Center podcast “Sites and Sounds,” Blanche Wiesen Cook talks about Roosevelt House, the private home of Franklin and Eleanor, in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, now a progressive think tank affiliated with Hunter College. Cook is Distinguished Professor of History at John Jay College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York, as well as the definitive biographer of Eleanor -- a powerful force in the making of the New Deal, the founding of the UN, and post-war American liberalism. Here, Cook reminds us that it was in this home that Eleanor first came to her own, leaving behind the doubt and depression of her early years to become, as many knew her, the "First Lady of the World."

FDR was one of our great presidents. Eleanor was our greatest First Lady. In many ways, it all started when Franklin's mother built them a grand home in midtown Manhattan, a home that still stands today, not just as a museum, but as a beacon of education, freedom, and human rights.

The explosive growth of New York’s tech industry in the last decade has reshaped the city’s economy and its demographics — and has kept New York at the forefront in a rapidly changing digital landscape. Over the last decade, Bloomberg administration policies aimed to foster this growth in the tech and information sector. What new directions should the new de Blasio administration consider in order to ensure — and strengthen — New York’s role at the forefront of innovation? We were joined at Roosevelt House for the latest in our continuing series, “Changing New York,” as Manoush Zomorodi, host of WNYC’s “New Tech City,” led a distinguished panel of experts in a wide-ranging conversation exploring the new policies, priorities and strategies that the de Blasio administration ought to focus on in the years ahead. Each brings a business and personal perspective to the crucial questions of what the new digital New York might look like — and how the new administration can help make it possible. Speakers: Jessica Lawrence, Executive Director, NY Tech Meetup; Michael Mandel, Chief Economic Strategist at the Progressive Policy Institute and author of Building a Digital City: The Growth and Impact of New York City’s Tech/Information Sector; and Steve Schlafman, a principal at RRE Ventures, who also writes the blog “Schlaf Notes: The Chronicles of an Accidental VC,” about trends and his “adventures in startup land.” Introducing the panel was Stanley S. Litow, Vice President, Corporate Citizenship and Corporate Affairs of IBM, President of the IBM Foundation, and member of the Roosevelt House Advisory Board.
The “Changing New York” series, which explores the most pressing policy issues facing the new de Blasio administration continued at Roosevelt House. We kicked off the series in 2014 with a conversation on how to keep the city moving safely and efficiently — whether by bus, train, bicycle, on foot, or by car – and the policy debates most likely to shape the new mayor’s transportation agenda. Speakers: Jim O’Grady, transportation reporter of WNYC, hosted an evening featuring distinguished experts Nicole Gelinas, senior fellow of The Manhattan Institute; Owen Gutfreund, Hunter College associate professor of Urban Affairs and Planning; Paul Steely White, executive director, Transportation Alternatives; Jeff Zupan, senior fellow, Regional Planning Association. – all of whom are in the forefront of the search for an answer to one of the most basic and pressing questions of urban life: How do we get from here to there?
