In this episode, we hear from one of New York’s fastest triathletes, who just happens to be blind. Then we visit a Queens exhibit where visitors are encouraged to touch the art and talk to dancers who say the city’s biggest borough deserves a larger share of arts funding.

Our host sits down with journalist Nicholas Morgan, who has been following the Sam Bankman-Fried cryptocurrency fraud trial. Then, we take a tour with members of the Lubavitch Hasidic community in Crown Heights. Later in the show, we take a look at prison reform and hear from Darren Mack, a formerly incarcerated activist who co-founded the Freedom Agenda.
