- Hey Men! Let's get pregnant!!
Here's a Bar Crawl Radio’s "Park Bench Chat" episode – Rebecca and Alan set up our portable studio in Manhattan’s Riverside Park on the Promenade and we talk to our UWS neighbors about a topic of -- hopefully -- interest. Rebecca went into this question thinking it would be silly and fun. I was expecting vociferous pushback from our neighbors – neither happened. Rather – the idea of a man gestating a fetus within his body -- generated serious – thoughtful – affective responses from four UWS neighbors – out for an afternoon walk in the park: A 30-something man on a bike – a middle-aged, fit woman, also on a bike – and two married couples – one young with a baby – the other old and fit. These four conversations were serious – both personally and socially.

43 min - Martha and Carmen are free. Well ... sort of
Rebecca and Alan talk with two Catholic Workers who have been in prison for protesting U.S. Navy submarines armed with world-ending numbers of nuclear missiles. We first talked with Carmen Trotta and Martha Hennessy on the porch of Gebhard’s Beer Culture Bar in Manhattan in June 2019 – a bit over two years ago. At the time, Martha and Carmen and other members of the anti-war Plowshares movement were under house arrest for trespassing onto the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia, the previous year. They both wore ankle bracelets.
Since then -- they were found guilty and have spent many months in Federal Prisons – Martha in Danbury, Connecticut and Carmen in Otisville, NY.
Recently they were released with some very serious restrictions – which require that we speak with them separately – co-conspirators cannot communicate.

35 min - Meet the Upper West Side City Council CandidatesStreetopiaUWS and Bar Crawl Radio Podcast sponsored this “Meet your City Council Candidates” event - recorded at the Eleanor Roosevelt Monument on W. 72nd Street in Riverside Park. we spent an hour on a beautiful -- if hot -- summer day getting to know three of the City Council candidates vying to represent the most populated neighborhood in the country – Manhattan’s Upper West Side: Maria Danzilo, Sara Lind, and Jeffery Omura.

1 hr 8 min - No Talk Podcast: A minimalist conceptCan a podcast be more than people talking at each other? Co-hosts - guests - mics and recorder - an interesting topic. NOW -- remove the "jabber-jabber." Make room for wondrous silence. We thought we would experiment with form and style and establish a new podcasting precedent. Talking about the issues has not worked -- so let's NOT talk about the issues. I know -- it's crazy, but it might work. It's new -- it's revolutionary -- might I say, it's --

1 hr 7 min - Lincoln Mitchell & Corey Busch & SF Giants & SFIf you are a baseball fan -- a Giants fan -- a fan of San Francisco -- this BCR episode is for you. It opens with Ron Fairly of KNBR calling the back to back home runs of Candy Maldonado and Will Clark in the 1987 game between the Houston Astro and the San Francisco Giants. The Giants would give up the National League Pennant to St Louis – and not win the World Series until 2010 against the Texas Rangers – 56 years after their last series win. We talked with Lincoln Mitchell whose newest book looks back at the Giants baseball team of 1976 to 1992 -- “The Giants and their City” It was a period when the city of San Francisco was going through hard times – and their baseball team tended to lose. Joining us from California on Zoom was Corey Busch who worked in the office of George Moscone when the mayor was assassinated in 1978. Mr. Busch then joined the Giants front office back when the team was owned by Bob Lurie. The conversation ends with Corey's experience of the 1989 World Series earthquake at Candlestick Park. Baseball fans -- do not miss this one!
