Speaker 4: neighborhood gossip.
Speaker 3: This isn't neighborhood gossip. It's literally what's going on in
Speaker 3: our community. I was about to get to my greater
Speaker 3: point about how it's a larger narrative about Look.
Speaker 4: When I started off in public radio, I thought that
Speaker 4: I could change the world through empathy. But shit is
Speaker 4: different now. These structure Productions has been and always is,
Speaker 4: looking for podcasts that can be flipped into movies. You
Speaker 4: can't sell a story about one of the activists to streaming.
Speaker 4: This is a business, not a bulletin board. Now, Ruby,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be real, not as your editor, but as
Speaker 4: a peer. The board is seriously thinking about layoffs, and
Speaker 4: the first line item to cut is the editorial team.
Speaker 4: You haven't had a pitch that was adapted in the
Speaker 4: last six months, and we're running out of cash. I
Speaker 4: really need you to step it up and come up
Speaker 4: with a story that we can sell, because in the
Speaker 4: editorial pecking order, especially producers have the first to go.

Speaker 4: to a good session. Well, we could take up social media,
Speaker 4: soccer or else we're all out of oolves.

Speaker 7: I think they bump me.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: One PM.
Speaker 3: One of the protesters is standing on a bench. Everyone
Speaker 3: keeps looking at her. It looks like she's some kind
Speaker 3: of leader.
Speaker 7: When I gathered everyone to make a statement that you
Speaker 7: are closing down our parks, our libraries, our public spaces
Speaker 7: and We deserve the right to access where we pay
Speaker 7: our hard earned taxes on Yeah, Yeah, you tear list.
Speaker 7: When I started my page, left this Liz was just

Speaker 3: the followers of leftist Liz, a white woman who apparently
Speaker 3: loves Malcolm X.
Speaker 7: We can't enter our libraries, but big box retailers keep expanding.
Speaker 7: We can't afford to live here, but empty high rises
Speaker 7: like dormant across Manhattan and now here in Brooklyn. We
Speaker 7: want to demonstrate to you, our leader of this city,
Speaker 7: that our blood is on your hands. The Gowana's Canal
