October Fests

This month on the show, we feature two different ways of celebrating New York and honoring New Yorkers.  It’s the 50th anniversary of the iconic Village Halloween Parade, and Sarah Montague talked with director Jeanne Fleming about the beautiful, elegiac tone of this year’s event.  And the documentary production house Radio Diaries brings us stories from Hart Island, a little-known burial ground in the Bronx.  Managing Producer Nellie Gilles talks about the evolution of the series.
