Review Procedure.
Botanic Garden bigwigs’
staunch opposition
to the Continuum project
is a departure from the
neutral stance they took
against another controversial
development comprised
of two 16-story towers
near the growing patch,
which Council ultimately
approved a rezoning for
last December after Crown
Heights Councilman Laurie
Cumbo worked out a
deal to pack even more below
market-rate units into
the project.

They’re keeping safe and
sounds.
A trio of local audio afi -
cionados discussed their efforts
to preserve the voices
of Kings County during
the inaugural event of this
weekend’s On Air Fest at
the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg.
The panelists of “Saving
the Sounds of Brooklyn,”
who kicked off the threeday
festival on March 2,
hope that their projects will
help Brooklynites to understand
their neighbors, said
one oral historian.
“We like to say we are
not giving voice to the
voiceless, we’re giving ears
to the earless,” said Zaheer
Ali, of the Brooklyn Historical
Society.
Ali reviewed “ Muslims
in Brooklyn ,” the society’s
newest oral-history project
featuring 50 Muslims from
all 18 different Brooklyn
neighborhoods. That project
preserves the sounds
of local people who hail
from countries around the
world, Ali said.
“All of those accents are
there, we have different languages
represented … you
get a sense of the oral diversity
that exists,” he said.
He joined audio producer
Molly Schwartz of
“Preserve This Podcast,”
which focuses on helping
podcasters protect their
work for future generations,
and Virginia Marshall,
producer of the
Brooklyn Public Library’s
upcoming podcast “Borrowed,”
debuting March
12. The forthcoming audio
show will focus on local
stories, as told through
the lens of the library, said
Marshall.
“What we’re trying to
do is capture patrons’ stories,
librarians’ stories, tell
a little bit of the library’s
history, but also really center
the Brooklyn community,”
she said.
Ali said all of the participants
are passionate
about making their oral
histories available to as
many Brooklynites as possible.
“Part of our understanding
of the work of
collecting and preserving
sound is making it
accessible,” he said.
The panel was part of a
what organizers call an “audio
culture festival,” which
features talks and workshops
for podcast creators,
and behind-the-scenes talks
with popular podcasters.
Highlights include an
interview of author Roxanne
Gay, and a talk between
former Vanity Fair
editor Tina Brown and
actress Amber Tamblyn,
among others.
On Air Fest at the Wythe
Hotel (80 Wythe Ave. at N.
11th Street in Williamsburg,
www.onairfest.com).
Fest lasts through March 4.
$79 per day.
