(12) Chilly Underground- L Train Shutdown Breaking News with Assemblyman Joe Lentol and Analysis, Felice Brothers Talk Music and Society

With shocking last minute news coming from Governor Cuomo's hastily arranged Thursday afternoon press conference that the Manhattan/Brooklyn L Train will not be shut in its entirety for 15 months beginning in April, host Chilly Pete speaks with local Assemblyman Joe Lentol to better understand the news. What alternate travel accommodations will remain in place on nights and weekends, how much money will the new plan require, and is Assemblyman Lentol comfortable with Governor Cuomo's non-traditional approach to this issue? They also discuss pending legislation in Albany that is set to legalize cannabis for consumer use in this upcoming legislative session. Chilly Pete is then joined with transit consultant Joe Anastasio of Access Queens who authored the organization's L train closure analysis plan. They discuss the logistical dilemmas that will still exist during the L trains night and weekend disruptions for the next few years as the work is slated to take at minimum 15 months to complete. We then lighten the mood and after the political fix, we turn to music and my interview with James Felice of the Felice Brothers which I taped last week before their sold out December 29th show at The Brooklyn Bowl. James was ultra candid about his thoughts on our society and the interplay between the toxic political climate and the art that it is breeding including his bands own music. James revealed that the bands 6th full length release will be hitting the airwaves in May of this year and he also sheds light on the music industry and the ever evolving music landscape that he continues to traverse 12 years after the Catskill family band began busking in the New York city Subway.

(11) Chilly Underground- 2018 Political Year in Review from the Left and Right

This is the last program of the 2018 calendar year. One of my main passions is politics, so I thought I would speak to two individuals who also share a passion of the political gridiron- one from political left and one from the political right- to hear what they thought of the past year- a year that would never end. Due to the 24/7 wall to wall political coverage of the Trump Presidency, which typically goes from one scandal to to the next, sometimes scandals by Presidential Twitter design, it is harder and harder to keep track of time. Things just seem to be so blurry and keeping track of political data points continually is becoming tougher to do as our heads keep spinning. Congress doesn’t even convene until January 3rd, but the November election seems like it happened a year ago. The migrant children being taken into custody and put into change linked pens also seems like years ago, as does the Kim Jong Un/ Trump summit, but that too happened this past year. We speak to Patrick McGill- a Washington DC based Democratic political consultant who is currently very bullish after what he dubs Novembers election- a Blue Tsunami. We are then joined by a Western NY attorney and Trump supporter , Mario Fratto, who sees things very differently. He’s much more pessimistic about the months to come, especially with this new Democratically controlled Congress, and Fratto sadly believes the political tribalism the country witnessed this past fall during the Brett Kavanaugh Hearing will be more of what we come to expect as normal in 2019. For our countries sake, I hope that is not the case. So for this week it is two civil political conversations, from both sides of the aisles.

(10) Chilly Underground- Sunnyside Fire Update, Top Music of 2018, and a Conversation on Spirituality

Todays show comes to you in three segments, beginning with local New York news, 2018 Music Review, and as we approach Christmas we have a conversation regarding living a spiritually guided ethical life. First we begin with a conversation with the head of Sunnnyside Queens Chamber of Commerce and the co-founder of Access Queens, Melissa Orlando, who briefs us on last weeks tragic 5 alarm fire that decimated 6 stores in the Sunnyside’s commercial district. With the holiday quickly approaching, Melissa describes the amazing organic ways in which the Sunnyside community has come together and rallied for all parties involved and she outlines ways that you can help Sunnyside’s residents in overcoming this tragic event. We then turn to Axios Economics reporter, who generously took some time to moonlight as a music critique, but don’t worry- we also discussed the markets latest bout of volatility. Dion runs down his six top albums of 2018 and we discuss several other music highlights including the rapid rise of Cardi B and emergence of musical superstar Kasey Musgraves who takes Dion’s number position in 2018. Lastly, we air a formerly unaired portion of my conversation with Reverened Dr Katrina Foster of St John’s Lutheran Church here in Greenpoint, about what it means to live a life of faith and what that does for the community where we live. Reverened Foster discusses what goes into her daily decision making process and how it leads to a more fulfilling and uplifting life that also fosters community and personal growth.
