We cover Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso, one of the most notorious figures in the Lucchese crime family. Born in South Brooklyn in 1942, Casso rose from a violent street gang member to a powerful underboss, orchestrating a reign of crime that included drug trafficking, extortion, and murder. This video explores his early life, criminal career, and personal betrayals, including his secret affair that shattered his marriage. From leading the infamous "Bypass Gang" to his role in the Gambino coup, Casso's story is a chilling look at the Mafia's inner workings.Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/outlaws-gunslingers--4737234/support.

In this episode, retired intelligence unit detective Gary Jenkins examines the life of Bobby Boriello, a key figure in the Gambino crime family and closely associated with John Gotti. I explore Boriello's beginnings in South Brooklyn and his ascent as an enforcer for the Gallo gang, detailing his numerous criminal activities and connections that allowed him to evade serious consequences. This show covers his involvement in significant events, such as the assassination of Paul Castellano and the tensions with the Genovese family. I reflect on the violent and tumultuous nature of his life, culminating in his murder in 1991, which highlights the inherent dangers of organized crime. As Borrello's story unfolds, I delve into the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and power dynamics within the Mafia, offering personal insights and humor. This will be the last episode until February. The next episode will host Mark Black, who tells about his life in the Federal prison hospital in Springfield and his care of John Gotti as he battled cancer and other mobster's plots.

[0:00] A little story about Bobby Boriello, who was a Gambino soldier and a big moneymaker [0:05] for the Gotti family and the Gambino family. You want to call it the Gotti family or the Gambino family? It never did become the Gotti family, did it? Much to John Gotti's chagrin, I'm sure. Anyhow, this is going to be the last one for the month of January. I'm going to take some time off. I'm going to take a little vacation. And I've been working pretty hard at doing my books. And I've done a couple of books, a New York book and the Chicago book. And I'm getting set for the next year, doing some other things this next year. So I'll get back to putting one out at least every week at the last of January. I know the one I've already got it set that we're going to come back into like, I think the last Monday or Sunday in January is going to be a guy named Mark Black, who was in the penitentiary in Springfield, the hospital, federal hospital down there. With John Gotti and some other guys. And he got all embroiled in some. [1:02] Some mafia drama, carrying messages from one person to the other. And, and so anyhow, it's a really interesting story. It'll be a great one to come back to. So I hope you guys all had a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I'm not very good at wishing people all that kind of stuff before I forget about it. I just put out podcasts. That's all I do. You know, me, I'm just a plain guys. Guys, come on back in February. Hey, all you wiretappers out there. Glad to be back here in the studio.

You'll learn who I am [1:43] and what I'm about. I have a lot of fun doing this. Going back to New York today, guys, going to Bobby Borrello. [1:50] Bobby Boriello was a gaudy guy, if you remember right. He probably is one of the trigger men on the Castellano hit. Now, going way on back, he grew up in South Brooklyn, and he grew up in a neighborhood that was dominated by several mob families, Gambino, Genovese, and the Columbo crime families. He was surrounded by mobsters from, you know, from the time he was a little kid.

This week, two incumbent city councilmembers squared off on NY1 for a spirited debate to represent the newly-drawn District 47 in South Brooklyn, which links Bay Ridge and parts of Dyker Heights to Bath Beach and Coney Island. Democrat Justin Brannan and Republican Ari Kagan are both currently representing adjoining districts, and are now vying for the seat. While Brannan is more moderate than many of his Democratic City Council colleagues, Kagan clearly staked out more conservative turf at the debate. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza, Bernadette Hogan and Ayana Harry weigh in on the matchup and look at who may have fared better in the showdown and why. After that, Donald Trump briefly took the stand in his civil fraud trial and was fined $10,000 for violating the gag order that was imposed on him by the judge. The “Off Topic" team discusses the trial with detailed insight from Ayana Harry, who has been covering it from inside the courtroom.

Dion Costelloe @dion_costelloe is an actor featured most recently in God's Time, which we showed in January before its IFC theatrical release. May 2 at Alamo Drafthouse, we'll show his first short as director, Waking Up, as well as a rough cut of his latest, Haters. Dion's a Bensonhurst guy, where my family's from, so I'm especially invested in his voice. We talk about these characters that are going to disappear if we don't continue to make art of their lives. I recently rewatched Once Upon a Time in America and read Tough Jews (it doesn't let me underline), so I've been thinking a lot about Bensonhurst lately. We really need a modern Brooklyn movie. A real Brooklyn movie, by real Brooklyn people. Not east Brooklyn. That's Whole Foods. South Brooklyn. Legit Brooklyn. We talk a lot about the dynamics of being a working actor, collaborating, when one gets to be creative, how much control to expect. Hope to see y'all next week at Alamo Drafthouse. https://reunion5223.splashthat.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/teawithsg/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/teawithsg/support

The pigment has been used in Europe since the 18th Century, and in Japan since around 1820, having been imported by Europeans into Japan.    Evolution of Pigments in Mokuhanga - the evolution of pigments in mokuhanga began with hand painting in the later 17th Century, to the multi coloured prints of ukiyo-e, shin hanga, and sōsaku hanga. More info regarding the pigment evolution can be found, here, at the Library of Congress.    The Japan Foundation - is a not for profit organization established in 1972, with many offices located around the world.

His work, while seemingly abstract, moved people with its vibrant colour and powerful composition. He was a teacher and invented the “Disc Baren,” which is a great baren to begin your mokuhanga journey with. At the 2021 Mokuhanga Conference in Nara, Japan there was a tribute exhibit of his life works. Azusa Gallery has a nice selection of his work, here. Taurus (1973)   Barbara Wybou - is a Canadian mokuhanga artists who lived, worked, and studied in Japan for twenty years. Her home these days is Toronto where she continues to work on her mokuhanga. Notably she studied with the late Tōshi Yoshida (1911-1995). Her work can be found, here.  Rats 3   Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900) -  was a Japanese woodblock designer of the Utagawa School of artists. His work flourished in the Meiji Period (1868-1912) of Japanese history, a period of immense change politically, economically, and industrially. Some of Kunichika's works can be found, here.    Onoe Kikugorō V as The British Spencer (1894)   War prints & Japanese Imperialism - as Japan entered the Pacific Theatre of war (1941-1945) with the United States, the fascist military government had complete power in Japan at the time, and used woodblock prints, as well as other mediums such as lithography and photography, to propagandize their war effort. Printmakers such as Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) even got involved in producing prints that helped the war effort. He designed several war prints during this time period. Prints such as The Red Setting Sun, is a prime example of how the times and aesthetic show a relatively innocuous scene of figures (Japanese soldiers) riding on horses with a setting sun back drop. For more detailed information regarding war time prints I suggest, Conflicts of Interest: Art and War in Modern Japan, ed. Philip K. Hu w/ Rhiannon Paget, and The Politics of Painting by Asato Ikeda. My interview with Rhiannon Paget PhD can be found, here.    Russo-Japanese War (February 8, 1904 - September 5, 1905) - was a war between two colonial powers, the Imperial Russian and Imperial Japanese military, taking place in China. Information about its background can be found here at history.com, and here.    bijin-ga - (美人画) is the Japanese term for beautiful women in mokuhanga.  Itō Shinsui (1898-1972) After Washing Her Hair (1936)   yakusha-e - (役者絵) is the Japanese term for actor prints in mokuhanga.  Utagawa Yoshiiku (1833-1904) Oyama Doll - Ichikawa Udanji (1893)   Taishō Period  (1912-1926) - a short lived period of Japanese modern history but an important one in world history. This is where the militarism of fascist Japan began to take seed, leading to The Pacific War (1931-1945). More info can be found, here.   hanmoto system - is the Edo Period (1603-1868) collaboration system of making woodblock prints in Japan. The system was about using, carvers, printers, and craftsmen by various print publishers in order to produce woodblock prints. The system consisted of the following professions; publisher, artist, carver, and printer.   Yamato Take no Mikoto with His Sword Kusanagi - is the print by Ogata Gekkō which Carol mentions as one of her favourite prints.     Oliver Statler (1915-2002) -  was an American author and scholar and collector of mokuhanga. He had been a soldier in world war 2, having been stationed in Japan. After his time in the war Statler moved back to Japan, where he wrote about Japanese prints. His interests were of many facets of Japanese culture such as acoomodation, and the 88 Temple Pilgrammage of Shikoku. Oliver Statler, in my opinion, wrote one of the most important books on the sōsaku-hanga movement, “Modern Japanese Prints: An Art Reborn.”   John Stevenson -  is an American author who has written extenisvely on Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892).    Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (月岡 芳年) was a mokuhanga designer who is famous for his prints depicting violence and gore. His work is powerful, colourful, and one of the last vibrant moments of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock prints. More information about Yoshitoshi's life and his copious amount of work can be found, here.    The Flower of Edo (1858) Utagawa Kuniyoshi (歌川 國芳) - was a print designer and painter known for his triptychs, yoko-e (horizontal landscape prints), Yokohama-e (prints with Yokohama as its subject), and yakusha-e (actor prints). Considered as one of the last of the "golden age" print designers of the ukiyo-e genre.  Ichikawa Kodanji IV as the ghost of Asakura Togo (possibly 1851) Kunisada/Kuniyoshi Exhibit - was an art exhibition held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston from August 11 - December 10, 2017. There was also an excellent catalogue printed for this show and would add to any woodblock print fan's library. more info, here. The book I reference about Toyohara Kunichika is "Time Present and Time Past of a Forgotten Master: Toyohara Kunichika 1835-1900"  There are various online print collections that the aspiring mokuhanga scholar can seek out to help in their studies. The Library of Congress has their collection online, as does ukiyo-e.org, who have various impressions af their prints throughout their website.  Scholten Japanese Art - is a mokuhanga focused art gallery located in midtown Manhattan. It was founded by René Scholten, an avid collector of the Japanese print. More info can be found, here. Acadia Books - is a vintage and unique used bookstore located at Sherbourne and Queent St. East in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In my opinion it is one of the best bookstores I have had the priviledge to visit.

This may be our most delightful lookback of the season. Mia's been a Little Rascals fan since waaaaay back in the day, and even though this was Caitlin's first time seeing the 1994 reboot, she took it upon herself to go Full Film Nerd on its ass and do a deep dive into the history of this group of lil' characters–which dates all the way back to the silent era!   The cameos of it all, the nightmarish set of it all, and the Bill Cosby urban legend of it all… this is The Little Rascals. And we are the Blake McIver Ewing Fan Club. FALAFEL!  We also do a completely unnecessarily deep dive into the question: what does it mean to have a big nose? And we have a borderline pornographic conversation about a pork roast Mia made in the slow cooker. As some South Brooklyn dude said to us on the Sheepshead Bay pier one summer night, Two beautiful girls! Happy holidays!

Second Segment: In our second segment, we talk about the life and legacy of Dr. Jeffrey Perry, who died over the weekend. Perry was an independent, working-class scholar whose work focused on the role of white supremacy as a retardant to progressive social change and on the centrality of struggle against white supremacy to progressive social change efforts. Perry wrote and spoke in particular on two of the most important thinkers on race and class in the twentieth century: Hubert Harrison and Theodore W. Allen, both of whom we will hear more about shortly. Perry's friend of 50 years, Sean Ahern, joins us to commemorate Perry. Ahern is a retired public-school teacher and member of the NYC Coalition to Finally End Mayoral Control. Third Segment: Labor and culture. The 11th annual Worker Unite Film Festival begins on Friday, Oct. 7 at Cinema Village Theater. It will be WUFF's first in-person festival since the pandemic.

We are joined by WUFF Executive Director Andrew Tilson and two special guests, avant-garde jazz luminary William Hooker, whose 2021 film The Lost Generation: Outside the Mainstream will be a part of the festival and Sean Claffy, who directed Americonned, a film that examines "the long overdue uprising of American workers.”

No mayor is an island unto themself. They have to work with City Council. They also have to work with the governor and state legislators in Albany which wields tremendous power over the city. In our election night special, City Councilmember-elect Alexa Aviles and State Senator Jabari Brisport join us to talk about how they see things going with the new city government under a Mayor Adams. Alexa Aviles won the Democratic primary in June in District 38 in South Brooklyn and had no opponent on today's ballot. Jabari Brisport won a Central Brooklyn State Senate seat in 2020 and has had a very busy first year in the legislature. They are both democratic socialists who ran for office as champions of the working class.

IAN Hi folks, this is Ian W. Hill, the co-creator and sound designer of the science-fiction sitcom for your ears, LIFE WITH ALTHAAR, currently in the middle of its third and final season, and I'm here with co-creator and showrunner, Berit Johnson— BERIT Hello! IAN We also both write, act, and do almost all the other jobs on the show— BERIT Along with the other 23 members of the Gemini CollisionWorks theater company. IAN And we're coming to you, as always, from the Gemini CollisionWorks Radiophonic Workshop deep below South Brooklyn, an audio wonderland where anything can happen! BERIT Platypus parkour! (sound of platypus parkour) IAN What?! Oh, wow, look at 'em go. (ahem) So what we'll be sharing with you here in this year's Nominee Showcase is “Dial ‘O' for Bigelow,” episode 20, from October of 2020, midway through our second season. As for what you might need to know about the characters, well, LIFE WITH ALTHAAR is the story of John B. BERIT A spectacularly unlucky Human who was forced to leave Earth after an incident that cost him his job, his girlfriend, his family, and his legal right to call himself Human in the first place. IAN And his friend and roommate, Althaar. BERIT Who is an Iltorian, a species considered throughout the Galaxy to be kindest, sweetest, most delightfully considerate beings you'd ever want to meet. IAN But who look, to Humans, like unspeakable eldritch horrors that we absolutely can't catch so much as a glimpse of without vomiting in abject terror. BERIT And that's if you're lucky. IAN Right. And all this is happening on the Human Exchange Concourse, better known as the Fairgrounds, a space station that was built to host the First Annual Galactic Fair, an event intended to show off Humanity's greatness to the rest of the Galaxy. BERIT And which turned out to be a really good example of why you never call something the “First Annual” until you're sure there's going to be a second one. So, the Fairgrounds ended up as a decrepit rest stop for sapients on their way out of Human space to somewhere better, or a permanent residence for folks with nowhere better to go. IAN We should note that a lot of the staff on The Fairgrounds are robots who were originally built to portray famous figures from Human history and fiction. They were reprogrammed to do new jobs, but it wasn't cost-effective to update their appearances or voices, so some of them may sound familiar. BERIT As for the other non-Human characters: Mrs. Frondrinax is a plant being of the Fugulnari species, who looks exactly like a common parlor palm from Earth, and by this point in the series, we know that she is up to some kind of possibly-sinister spy activity for her people, but we don't know why. IAN And Lt. Frall, the station's second-in-command, is an energy being of unknown origins, who perceives reality in 27 dimensions, is probably omniscient, and quite possibly omnipotent. BERIT In other words, just your standard, run-of-the-mill sitcom. IAN With aliens, robots, sentient plants and energy clouds, secrets, murders, a giant cast, and a really long running time. BERIT So we hope you enjoy “Dial ‘O' for Bigelow.” IAN And we hope that if this is your introduction to LIFE WITH ALTHAAR, that you'll go back and start the story from the beginning, and spend some more time getting to know our friends on The Fairgrounds. So on behalf of Berit, myself, and all of us at Gemini CollisionWorks... BERIT Thank you for your attention... IAN And it's a pleasure working for you.

Hi folks, this is Ian W. Hill, the co-creator and sound designer of the science-fiction sitcom for your ears, Life With Althaar, and I'm here with co-creator and showrunner, Berit Johnson — Hello! — We also both write, act, and do almost all the other jobs on the show — Along with the other 22 members of the Gemini CollisionWorks theater company — And we're coming to you, as always, from the Gemini CollisionWorks Radiophonic Workshop deep below South Brooklyn, an audio wonderland where anything can happen — Duckling stampede! — (sound of duckling stampede) — Aaah! (ahem) Life With Althaar is our first audio-only production, and what we'll be sharing with you here in the Nominee Showcase is episode 12, our Holiday episode from this past December, which we think pretty well showcases the actors, writing, sound, and directing on the show. As for what you might need to know about the characters, well, it's the story of John B — A spectacularly unlucky Human who was forced to leave Earth after an incident that cost him his job, his girlfriend, his family, and his legal right to call himself Human in the first place — And his friend and roommate, Althaar — Who is an Iltorian, a species considered throughout the Galaxy to be kindest, sweetest, most delightfully considerate beings you'd ever want to meet — but who look, to Humans, like unspeakable eldritch horrors that we absolutely can't catch so much as a glimpse of without vomiting in abject terror — And that's if you're lucky — Right.

Frall, the station's second-in-command, is an energy being of unknown origins, who perceives reality in 27 dimensions, is probably omniscient, and quite possibly omnipotent — But other than that, this is just your regular Holiday episode of a sitcom — with a really long running time — so we hope you enjoy “A Very Althaar Christmas” — and we hope that if this is your introduction to Life With Althaar, that you'll go back and start the story from the beginning, and spend some more time getting to know our friends on The Fairgrounds.

EPISODE 318 Moonstruck, the 1987 comedy starring Cher and Nicolas Cage, not only celebrates that crazy little thing called love, but also pays tribute to the Italian working class residents of the old "South Brooklyn" neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens. Listen in as Greg and Tom recap the story and explore the many real New York City settings of the film -- from the glamorous Lincoln Center to the still-gritty streets of 1980s Little Italy. While the film's most recognizable location (the townhouse on Cranberry Street) is still with us, other places like the Cammareri Bros. Bakery are no longer with in business.  This podcast can be enjoyed both by those who have seen the film and those who’ve never even heard of it.   We think our take on Moonstruck might inspire you to look for the film’s many fascinating (but easy to overlook) historical details, so if you don’t mind being spoiled on the plot, give it a listen first, then watch the movie! Otherwise, come back to the show after you’ve watched it. Also: Announcing the Bowery Boys "Safe At Home" Listener Challenge Take part in a future Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast!

I’ve got to tell you, everything about this whole episode made me quite emotional. As I walked back into the welcoming foyer of the Chicken Shed Theatre—for the first time in many year –  my mind was instantly taken back to the wonderful memories my wife and I had dropping our then 9 year old son off for rehearsals, at this magical venue that “celebrates inclusion to enrich lives and transform our world.” That’s a hell of mantra to live up to. But believe me Chicken Shed Theatre does all that and more. I met up with the wonderful & deeply passionate Artistic Director, Lou Stein, who took over the reins of this magnificent theatre some 3 years ago. I thought Chicken Shed was a magical place before, but Lou is taking it to a whole new level of professionalism whilst following their mission to make Chicken Shed a pioneering and inclusive company that makes beautiful and inspirational theatre—bringing together people of all ages and from all backgrounds to produce outstanding theatre that entertains, inspires, challenges, and informs both audiences and participants alike. Step inside and share in the magic. “I realized I didn’t want to write about facts—I wanted to write about fiction. Things that somehow illuminate the world around us in a very different way.” [3:50] Lou is a New Yorker through and through. He can trace the beginning of his story to where he is now with a common thread of diversity—something he was raised around in South Brooklyn. It wasn’t until he attended Northwestern University in Chicago that he fell in love with theatre and began to see its power to bring together people from different social background and ethnicities. Fiction was a revelation for Lou in the way he saw it as a conduit for illuminating the differences and similarities between us all. [12:55] Lou made the move the London and started his international career at the Gate Theatre, which no one had really heard of at the time. Timing was key in his success, as he came at a time when it was a little easier to get by in the city with the income he made at the theatre through profit share—something indicative of how much of a collective the theatre was at the time. A huge move came for Lou as he transitioned to Watford Palace Theatre, succeeding Michael Attenborough. Then only a couple of years later Lou started his own company: Lou Stein Associates, a company he set up as he was figuring out where the trajectory of his career was taking him. In the end, his entrepreneurial spirit won over as he set out to do his own work. “Every communication that you have—whether you work in property or insurance or wherever, has to tell a story. Even if you’re on the phone’‘ [28:05] The direct connection between Lou and Chicken Shed came about through his son Ethan who was born with Down Syndrome. As the father of a child with a disability, Lou saw how  isolation can happen for both the parents and the child. A friend of Lou’s gave him the number for Mary Ward at Chicken Shed, and before he knew it, Ethan was at the programme and going through a tremendous transformation. Ethan gained a confidence Lou hadn’t seen before, and he saw how once you walk through the doors at Chicken Shed no one is any different from anyone else. Lou took over as Artistic Director after seeing an ad in the Guardian, and he has set out to give people a foundation at Chicken Shed to change their lives. I can’t recommend enough getting out to see a performance at Chicken Shed (https://www.chickenshed.org.uk/) , which now has locations and outreach programs internationally.   Links Chickenshed Theatre (https://www.chickenshed.org.uk/) Lou Stein Twitter (https://twitter.com/steinlou?lang=en)       Support this podcast

Ocasio-Cortez HYPOCRISY Over Green New Deal Exposed. Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore slammed Ocasio-Cortez and her far left policies as unrealistic and called out her hypocrisy.AOC was recently dragged by the NYPost over her massive ride sharing bill of over 29,000$ which was massive compared to another freshman representative from South Brooklyn.Ocasio-Cortez and other far leftists want to demand others be restricted in terms of environmental protections but don't take actions themselves. On top of that, the Green new Deal seems to be more about socialism, social justice, and far left policy than the environment anyway.Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate)

Radio RAMPA’s guest is Daniel Donovan, US Representative for New York’s 11th Congressional district, including Staten Island and South Brooklyn. As a Republican, Dan Donovan was endorsed by President Donald Trump before the primaries. Now, he will be facing a democratic candidate Max Rose on November 6, 2018.In our conversation we start off with talking about Congressman’s Polish roots and his Polish upbringing. But then we switch the topic to the upcoming midterm elections: will the Republicans keep the majority? How have the last weeks, and especially the confirmation process of Brett Kavanaugh, affected the politics and what is to come? Radio RAMPA asks about Donovan’s stance on immigration issues, including the solution to the undocumented immigrants already in New York City, as well as the case of lessening the penalties for the use of marihuana in public.Additionally, we discuss Staten Island’s position in seceding from New York City, and how do the borough fight to get their demands fulfilled. Radio RAMPA asks Congressman’s opinion on the proposed US military base to be build in Poland.

In the past, the taxidermic animals, bones, and other natural materials employed in much of Joseph Grazi's art work have put him at odds with various animal rights activists, casting him in the role of a sort of curmudgeon of this corner of the art world. Verily, the artist would claim, his often controversial selection of materials might draw out negative reactions in some; however, it is precisely this moral panic that Joseph Grazi seems to want to beget in his audience -- demanding the answers to questions such as: What is it that we value about human and animal life? Why the uproar about poaching, but not about human trafficking in the same parts of the world? How do we place the living, the dead, and the animal, in our collectively constructed mental landscape? This installment of Art Grind has Joseph expounding on his upbringing in South Brooklyn, his intellectual clashes with animal rights essentialists, and the precise location of the absolute best pizza in all of New York (and therefore the world).Support the show (https://paypal.me/TMARTNY?locale.x=en_US)

As some of you know, my husband and I are huge fans of ballroom dancing, so it’s only natural that we’re huge fans of Dancing with the Stars’ Val Chmerkovskiy. After spending time with him earlier this year in Guatemala with Pencils of Promise, I just knew I needed to have him on the show to share more about his story and why making an impact is so important.   Born in Ukraine, at age 8, he and his family immigrated to Brooklyn, NY. As you can imagine it was a challenging transition but his parents inspired him to meet challenges by never backing away from theirs. To help occupy him and his brother’s time, they were enrolled in both violin and later on ballroom dancing. This soon became a passion for the whole family. In addition to Val and his brother Maks’ successful dance careers, they have since opened 14 other dance studios.   I cannot wait for you to hear Val’s inspiring story. Not only is he so passionate about his own life and what he does, he also hopes to inspire others to do the same. Tune in to hear how’s he connecting with others to do just that and how he’s making an impact in the world today.    --      Question Highlights: What did your life look like growing up and where did your passion for what you do now come from? What is most exciting in your life right now? Was not giving up or quitting a mindset that you were taught growing up? What do you think it takes to be a good leader/mentor? What have you learned from being on your 50-city tour? Do you still get nervous before you perform?   In This Episode We Talk about: Why Val is so inspired by his parents How Val and his brother got into dance (and violin) Val’s (and his parents’) entrepreneurial spirit Why it’s essential to have pride without the ego Why mentorship is important to Val Forming connections and making an impact with others Val’s 50-city tour Why Val loves seeing others who are passionate about what they do And much more…   Quotes How can I possibly dwell in my own success without having the energy of wanting to pass it forward and reciprocate?”   “A blessing isn’t realized until it’s passed forward.”   “I feel most fulfilled when I have a purpose.”   “Trust your track record.”   “Be nervous because you care, but don’t sell yourself short.” --   Valentin “Val” Chmerkovskiy was born in Odessa, Ukraine to an engineer mother and marine merchant father. At 8 years old, Val’s family immigrated to Brooklyn, NY as refugees seeking asylum from the corrupt ex-communist nation. It was in a small Eastern European community in South Brooklyn where Val first picked up ballroom dancing as an after school activity that his parents hoped would keep him out of trouble. Soon after, Val found another passion in playing the violin, further easing the nerves of his parents as the arts kept their curious son off the South Brooklyn streets. Although he resisted the temptation of Hollywood for a few years, in 2011 Val eventually joined his brother Maks as a member of the cast of professional dancers on Dancing with the Stars for its 13th installment. The 14-time US National Champion and two-time World Dance Champion quickly rose to stardom, becoming a fan-favorite for his impeccable performances and unique demeanor. Val won his first Dancing with the Stars Mirrorball Trophy with partner Rumer Willis during the ten-year anniversary season of the show. He later took home his second title in 2016 while partnered with Olympic Gold Medalist Laurie Hernandez. Most recently, Val was partnered with Paralympic swimmer Victoria Arlen, making it all the way to the semi-finals for which he choreographed a dance that brought a wheelchair into the world famous DWTS Ballroom for the first time. Val is the first and only American to ever win the IDSF Junior and Youth World Championship, along with the prestigious British “Blackpool” Open, the German Open and the Asian Championships in Shenzhen, China. After overseeing the biggest youth ballroom dance program in the US, the Rising Stars Dance Academy, Val co-founded Dance With Me, one of the nation’s leading social dance studios, where he also lends his expertise as Art Director. Longing to continue his work with kids, Val implemented the Dance With Me Juniors program with the mission of keeping kids active, healthy, and creative. Val supports numerous educational organizations and children’s charities, including the Children’s Hospital of LA and Pencils of Promise, for which he helped build two schools in Ghana using the funds he raised for the organization. He also spent the last two years mentoring kids at the KIPP Scholar Academy in South Los Angeles and brought his most improved mentees along to live tapings of Dancing with the Stars to inspire them to continue working hard. As a classically trained violinist, Val has performed at Carnegie Hall and at Lincoln Center as a concertmaster for the ISO Youth Orchestra. He is fluent in English and Russian. Val recently finished writing his first memoir titled “I’ll Never Change my Name,” set to be released in March 2018.

In part two of our Congressional Contenders series, we sit down and chat with Michael DeVito Jr., a Non-Profit Director, mediator, and former Marine Staff Sergeant.

We also touch on the role of federal infrastructure development in Staten Island and South Brooklyn, and what it's like dealing with out-of-control pharmaceutical and healthcare costs in the district.

Claudia Moreno Parsons is a professor of English at LaGuardia Community College, and also the wife of your humble host. Since I've spoken to so many guests about the different people that made an impact on their lives, I thought that, for the podcast's 30th episode, it would be appropriate to speak with someone who's had a profound impact on my life. Claudia talks with me about her childhood in South Brooklyn, how books came to be so important to her, and how working with Ammiel Alcalay at the CUNY Graduate Center helped give shape to her work while fueling her intellectual imagination. 

Sarah Zorn is highlighting the breadth of Brooklyn restaurant recipes in her new book, Brooklyn Chef’s Table. This week on Eat Your Words, Cathy Erway sits down with Sarah to discuss her Brooklyn roots and the explosion of food interest in the borough. Hear about Sarah’s childhood in Park Slope, and how her upbringing exposed to her many different cuisines at a young age. Find out about the cultural and culinary divides between North and South Brooklyn, and why Sarah felt the need to represent both “old” and “new” Brooklyn food ways in her book. What restaurants’ recipes were difficult to obtain? How are new Brooklyn food outposts paying homage to Kings County traditions? Find out all of this and more on this week’s edition of Eat Your Words. Thanks to our sponsor, Regional Access.

You ate what your mama told you to eat… we went out, and I grew up on this local, ethnic food.” [4:00] “You can’t tell the story of Brooklyn food if you don’t have an even spread of restaurants from different neighborhoods.” [21:10] — Sarah Zorn on Eat Your Words
