Coming up on today's show:
- At least 23 people were arrested Saturday night after officers enforced the new 10 p.m. curfew in Washington Square Park. Gothamist/WNYC reporter Jake Offenhartz talks about what's happening in the village, the police response and how it relates to citywide issues of quality of life, crime and policing.
- As a former NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate, New York Senator John Liu (D 11, Queens), chair of the NYC Education Committee, weighs in on the role of the City Comptroller, and the state of the mayoral campaign.
- Lindsay Crouse, an opinion writer and producer for the The New York Times, talks about why Naomi Osaka's exit from the French Open was a power move, and takes your calls on times you quit something in service of self-preservation, and why you don't regret it.
- Emma Goldberg, editorial assistant at The New York Times and the author of Life on the Line: Young Doctors Come of Age in a Pandemic (Harper, 2021), talks about the doctors who graduated last spring and began working with COVID-19 patients during the height of the pandemic in New York City.
