The Voice of the New York City subway becomes the face of the NYC Pride March

WNYC News | Jun 26

New York City's Pride March is almost here, and several LGBTQ New Yorkers will lead the crowds through the day's festivities. The grand marshals include Gays Against Guns, comedian Bowen Yang, actress Dominique Jackson, drag performer Peppermint, and Bernie Wagenblast — who many know as the voice of the New York City subway.  

Wagenblast joined WNYC's Michael Hill ahead of the big weekend.
