A recent panel featuring Sarah Koenig of Serial, Alex Blumberg of StartUp, Alix Spiegel of Invisibilia, and Benjamin Walker Theory of Everything explores podcasts as an emerging media and whether they are going to be the death of public radio as we know it...

Hosted by the late David Carr, and though, due to technical difficulties, he is only heard once in the piece, his insight and knowledge sparked an engaging and humorous discussion that only he could have. This is dedicated to him.

This panel discussion was presented by the Journalism & Design department, of Eugene Lang College at The New School.

The L.E.S. has been a colorful and staple entity in New York City's night life scene. A collision of people of multiple social classes, vodka tonic-scented taxi cabs, greasy 4 am "eat it anyway" pizza, crowded bro bars, intimate apothecaries, multiple personality disorders, Chinese bodegas, paper-bagged beer cans, and clanking heels. This audio collage by producers Ally Fisher and Chloe Murray celebrates a special aspect of the Lower East Side.

Dating back to the 1850’s, Dead Horse Bay’s obscure history is both a little gruesome, and mysterious . In the era of horse-drawn buggies and streets absent of skyscrapers, this marshland functioned as an industrial land mass in which horse carcasses were manufactured into glue and soap products. By the 1920s, when cars replaced horses as the primary mode of transport, the bay was converted to use as a landfill. Thirty years later, the landfill cap exploded, leaving decades worth of trash scattered about the beach. Today, that trash is still dispersed throughout the shoreline, leaving what Dead Horse Bay enthusiasts consider something of vintage treasure. Anything from soda bottles and mason jars to shoe soles and tires can be found buried within the sand.

This piece, by Elle Brosh, Paley Martin, and Sean Steele, explores this topographic oddity and investigates what treasures lie beneath its surface.

The occult is fascinating, and psychics are a visible manifestation of this hidden side of New York City . We see them offering readings when we walk down streets, and glance at ads for them in storefront windows, but we don't really know much about the psychics themselves, their community, and their relationship to their practice. Where is the line between entertainment and occult power? This New School Radio feature explores this highly visible, but mysterious profession.
