    Welcome back to Activist NYC: The Podcast!

    It's been a couple years since the last episode of this podcast. The Covid-19 pandemic shut down everything in a haste and the studio where I recorded, Canal Street Radio, was closed for an indefinite amount of time. Thus, the podcast went on hiatus. I decided to bring back the podcast, now that life has opened up post-pandemic. Canal Street Radio re-opened their doors and have graciously allowed me to come back to record this podcast. Stay tuned for new episodes coming soon!
