Rep. Ritchie Torres; How Mayor Adams Handles Crises; NPR's Manoush Zomorodi; The Mash-Up Americans

Coming up on today’s show:

Ritchie Torres, U.S. Representative (D-NY15), talks about the deal that avoided a government shutdown and the fallout for Speaker McCarthy.
Elizabeth Kim, Gothamist and WNYC reporter, talks about how Mayor Adams handles both ongoing challenges, like the surge in migrants, and crises like last week’s storm and flooding.
Manoush Zomorodi, host of NPR’s TED Radio Hour and a new limited run podcast series “Body Electric,” and Keith Diaz, a certified exercise physiologist and the director of the Exercise Testing Laboratory and the Wearable Device Reading Center at the Center for Behavioral Cardiovascular Health at Columbia University Medical Center, talk about the new podcast series, which explores the ways our technologies—from the chair to the PC—have changed our bodies. Plus, they’ll tell listeners how to participate in a study to determine how much movement is needed to offset the effects of too much sitting.
What does the future of America look like? With multiple generations of people descending from immigrants living together in this country, one might say the future looks like a mash-up! As the next artists in residence at The Greene Space, Rebecca Lehrer, co-founder and CEO of The Mash-Up Americans, and Amy Choi, co-founder and editorial director of The Mash-Up Americans, introduce their company and preview their upcoming events.
