The BQE Debacle, What's Next at NYFF, Cheerleaders Fight for Fair Pay

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 4, 2018

A 1.5 mile span of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway is falling apart. Now, the city is proposing a repair plan that would shut down the much beloved Brooklyn Promenade for six years. WNYC transportation reporter Stephen Nessen breaks it all down. Then, local City Councilmember Stephen Levin joins to offer up his assessment and take your calls.

New York Film Festival programmers Dennis Lim and Florence Almozini join us with a preview what's coming up next at the festival.

For the next installment of our Petition Series, Diane Todd, creator of the change.org petition, "NFL Teams: Pay Your Cheerleaders A Living Wage," joins us to discuss her activism and what it mean to be a cheerleader for cheerleaders. She is joined by New York Times reporter, Juliet Macur, to unpack the workplace issues professional cheerleaders face.
