Brooklyn Paper
Radio highlights
BY MOSES JEFFERSON
It was something old, something
new, something “Borrowed” — and
something green!
That’s right, folks, this week’s
new Brooklyn Paper Radio episode
featured all of the above, as cohosts
Anthony Rotunno and Johnny
Kunen talked their way through another
news-packed show with guests
who discussed the latest calls to split
service on the beleaguered R train
between Brooklyn and Manhattan,
the fi rst formal appearance of LGBTQ
marchers in the Brooklyn St.
Patrick’s Day Parade, and the Brooklyn
Public Library’s forthcoming
podcast, “Borrowed,” which the book
lenders will debut this month.
Reporter Julianne McShane
joined the hosts to fi ll listeners in
on locals’ concerns about a quartet
of local politicians’ demand that offi
cials with the state-run Metropolitan
Transportation Authority again
bifurcate interborough R-train service.
The scheme — which would stop
Manhattan-bound R trains at Court
Street, allowing weekday riders to
freely transfer to 4 or 5 trains to continue
their journeys, and weekend
straphangers to ride to the distant
isle along the N line over the Manhattan
Bridge — drew heat from some
residents, one of whom called in to
question just how many local opinions
the electeds sought before putting
the request in writing to authority
bigwigs.
“I would want to know about this
feedback some of them claim they
are acting on, where it came from. It
seems like many of us didn’t know
this was being considered,” said Bay
Ridgite Nancy Ford, who said the last
time transit chiefs bifurcated R-train
service, in the wake of superstorm
Sandy, it added at least 15 minutes to
her regular commutes to Manhattan.
The show then turned from the
subways to the streets, welcoming
Irishman and LGBTQ advocate Brendan
Fay to discuss Brooklyn St. Patrick’s
Day Parade organizers’ historic
decision to formally open the
march to participants from those
communities for the fi rst time in its
44-year history.
Fay, whom police arrested with
seven others for “parading without
a permit” after they tried to join the
1999 march through Park Slope, said
it is about time that people who identify
as Irish, and as LGBTQ, can celebrate
those identities without fear of
retribution.
“Parades are so important. I
didn’t appreciate their meaning back
in Ireland, because we were Irish in
our own country, but when you come
to New York, every cultural community
has its moment on the streets,”
he said. “I am very moved to hear the
news. It’s going to be a great celebration.”
Finally, the hosts celebrated another
borough fi rst — the March 12
debut of the local library system’s
inaugural audio-streaming series
— with one of the brains behind the
“Borrowed” podcast, Krissa Corbett
Cavouras, and beloved Arts Editor
Bill Roundy.
But to hear more about what to
expect from the library’s podcast —
and Roundy’s expert picks on how to
fi ll your free time this week — you’ll
have to tune in to ours. And don’t forget
to listen to the latest installment
of Power Women, featuring a conversation
between Victoria Schneps-Yunis
and the president of the Queensbased
Long Island City Partnership,
Elizabeth Lusskin, when you’re
done!
