I love WNYC - New York's Public Radio Station. It doesn't make
This American Life or
Wait Wait...Dont' Tell Me, but it still has some amazing programs. My favorite show is
Radio Lab (I'm a nerd, I know) but I recently discovered the Brian Lehrer show because of some very interesting topics they've had on recently.The first is sex education in New York City. AIDS education is required here but Sex Education is not. A lot of advocates and teenagers are trying to change this and there's a great piece on this process and why sex education should be mandatory in New York City. You can
listen to the whole show on
WNYC's website.Second, more than 25% of all homeless youth in New York City are gay. The show explores the reasons behind this and looks at the special challenges that gay homeless youth are facing.
