I will talk all things Knicks, Kareem Rahma, Subway Takes, Keep the Meter Running, Packie Jim McGrath, the Tribeca Festival, and the recent fundraiser for The Fortune Society.
In the second half of the show, Ricky O'Rawe will join us live from Belfast to discuss history, memory, and the ongoing programs in Belfast Programs. Ricky is an Irish author and former republican activist, best known for his memoir Blanketmen: An Untold Story of the H-Block Hunger Strike. A former Provisional IRA volunteer, he served as press officer for the prisoners in Long Kesh during the hunger strikes and was among the original Blanket Men.
