On Saturday, June 9th, thousands gathered along 5th Avenue in Park Slope to celebrate Brooklyn Pride. According to the 2017 census, New York City has the largest number of self-identifying LGBTQ+ residents in the country. However, Brooklyn’s LGBTQ+ population is threatened by the same exclusionary forces that marginalize gay, lesbian and transgender folks in conservative, small towns across America. Sarah Grochowski went out onto the streets and into the crowd to meet some loud & proud Brooklynites… and a few of their detractors. ••• Brooklyn, USA is produced Sachar Mathias and Emily Boghossian.

We’re hitting the road for the summer– but before we do, we’re taking you on a ride. First, we go on an imaginary cab ride. Then, we get to the bottom of Brooklyn’s pothole problem. Next, we go deep underground to find out what’s happening with the New York City Subway. And finally, we head out west, and hit some turbulence on the way back. If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there. And getting there is half the fun in Brooklyn, USA. ••• Brooklyn, USA is produced by Sachar Mathias and Emily Boghossian. "Rideshare Ride Along" was produced by Josh Rollin, written and directed by Calvin Kasulke, and was performed by Utkarsh Rajawat, Connor Carson, Greg Schultz, Luz Ozuna, Romana Sow-tus, and Nell Muldoon. Thanks to Mark Pagan for giving us yet another reason to never ride the subway. Mark hosts a podcast called Other Men Need Help and runs our sister network, Brooklyn Free Speech Radio– check them out. Thanks to Brian Vines for hitting those potholes so we didn’t have to.

For four days in April, BRIC Arts Media hosted the second annual BRIC Open Festival: an exploration of the borders that exist in and around our world. Today, we're bringing you stories from the borders people cross to get into, out of, around and through Brooklyn. In the first, a mother makes an impossible decision in order to give her children a better life. Then, a group of high school students leave Brooklyn for the weekend, and wind up all over the world. Then, back at home, a community is divided by a seemingly invisible line. And finally, we go back to school and back in time with a group of kids who are tracing their family's roots around the globe to Brooklyn, USA. ••• Brooklyn, USA is produced by Sachar Mathias and Emily Boghossian. Thanks to Alexandra Brauni, Candi and Ana for carrying us across one of the world’s most treacherous borders.
