Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Real Talk CNY, Ep. 1 - Prime Time Boxing

Check It Out: Voice Actor Jamie Sara Lewis
Q: Is The Sneetches a movie, a TV special, or a series?
Jamie confirms it is a movie, specifically a 45-minute TV special, and notes she plays the mom Sally Sneadley as well as several other characters.
It’s Happening Here Ep. 12 - A Look at Immigration Enforcement in Central New York
Q: What kinds of surveillance technology does the city currently use and how might MELT affect them?
The city uses cameras, body-worn cameras, license plate readers, and drones; MELT would influence contracting and oversight decisions, potentially delaying or altering agreements with vendors that have ties to federal immigration enforcement.
CNY Heroes, Episode 40 - How Tops Friendly Markets Supports Veterans
Q: Tell me a little bit about Kathy Allen, how you got started in the grocery business and stuck with it for decades.
Kathy explains she started at age 16 after a chance call from an assistant manager at a local store, worked her way up from cashier to store manager, and stayed because of her love for people and the variety of roles in a grocery environment.
Repeating History, Episode 18 - Dr. Angela Murphy, Professor of History at Texas State University
Q: What parallels do you see between Loguen's era and current debates over immigration and federal law?
The core conflict—what to do when the law conflicts with moral imperatives—remains. Loguen's persistence, community organizing, and strategic use of legal and political tools offer a template for principled resistance without abandoning uplift through education.
