The Brian Lehrer show is being honored with a Peabody Award in Broadcast Excellence for “radio that builds community rather than divides.” Today, hear a few of the segments that were submitted to the Peabody judges: the results of the crowd-sourcing project on the price of milk and beer; a look at whether “Yes! The Bronx” is the borough’s best motto; and black-on-black gentrification.
Note: Today's show is not live, so we won't be taking any calls. Our comments page, however, is always open. The Brian Lehrer Show will return live tomorrow, Tuesday, from our brand new studios on Varick Street!
