This Day

The Unmarked Grave (2019) w/ Joe Richman


Listen Later

It’s November 2nd. This day in 2019, New York City began a process of opening up Hart Island to the public, after centuries of using the space to bury its unnamed dead.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Joe Richman of “Radio Diaries” to discuss the history of Hart Island and the ongoing tension between public space and private cemetery. Radio Diaries has a new series called “The Unmarked Grave: Stories from Hart Island.” Listen to it now!

Check out the Radio Diaries live event on November 9th in NYC - it’s also being livestreamed.
