  • Kashmir Hill, tech reporter at the New York Times discusses the digital privacy implications of the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade and heightened abortion restrictions across the country.
  • The City has until November to show its action plan can improve conditions at Rikers and avoid a federal takeover. Louis Molina, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction, explains the plan and where the DOC goes from here.
  • The lack of easily accessible and clean public bathrooms is a longstanding NYC problem. Listeners call in to trade tips on where to go, and Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine talks about a City Council bill that would eventually lead to more public restrooms in the city.
