The Melting Pot
05/19/21 • 55 min
Queens, New York, also known as the Melting Pot of New York, is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the entire world. And thanks to its residents, Queens has become a borough filled with highly sought after international dining destinations enjoyed by both visitors and locals. The food not only serves as a bridge to help people from different backgrounds find common ground, but it also bridges gaps in political movements.
In the first half of the show Cristina is joined by Mohamed Attia to discuss The Street Vendor Project and then we’ll talk to Queens native Tiffany Caban about why she’s running for City Council there. We’ll also hear from callers about why they think Queens is such a unique corner of the world.
Executive Producers: Cristina Gonzalez, Jackie Garofano, Adell Coleman
Senior Producer: Ryan Woodhall

Their Last Meal
Despite ongoing debate, Capital Punishment also known as the Death Penalty, is still practiced in 27 states in the United States. The act of giving last meals to those on death row has always been a particularly complicated fascination. Why do we choose to do something so humane for incarcerated folks in their last moments? What is that food tied to? In the first half of the show we’re joined by Henry Hargreaves, a professional photographer from New Zealand whose series, “No Seconds” explores the Last Meal tradition for people on death row.
Then, we talk to writer Maurice Chammah who studies and examines capital punishment as a journalist for The Marshall Project and authored a book about the subject. We’ll also hear from listeners who have called in to share their thoughts about last meals.
