Brooklyn Property Development

By Administrator | Published: May 4, 2006
Last night was my last ever Earshot. The others gave me a hard time for not being more emotional about it, but I am sad that I won’t be doing it anymore. I’ve really, really enjoyed producing the show for the past year and a bit and I’m proud of most of the work we’ve [...]

A few weeks ago on Earshot we did an episode about student housing at NYU and the change in the priority traditionally given to seniors in the choice of housing. Janet Yu hosted with me. She’ll be taking over as co-host with Mike Arroyo next year. Listen to Earshot

Last week on Earshot we did a show about Telecommunciations Networks and the ways new technology is disrupting the current order and regulatory system. This is stuff I’m really interested in.

Stern Business Plan

By Administrator | Published: April 5, 2006
Last week on Earshot we did a show about the Stern Business Plan and entrepreneurship. Janet and Annie put together a great package on some of the student semi-finalists. The levels are not great unfortunately, and the sound files seem to have been slightly corrupted in places, but it’s still a good listen if you [...]

Solomon Revisited

By Administrator | Published: March 29, 2006
Last week on Earshot we did a show about the Solomon Amendment and the recent Supreme Court judgement ruling it to be Constitutional. Our very first Earshot last year (and pilot!) was about this issue, so it was great to be able to do a follow up. Listen to Earshot

Poverty in America

By Administrator | Published: March 8, 2006
A couple of weeks ago on Earshot we spoke to Larry Mead, who has been described as “NYU’s token conservative” (which is a backhanded compliment really if you consider the reactionary liberalism NYU is known for). He is also the guy who invented workfare. I disagree with almost everything he says, but his is certainly [...]

Delicious Booze

By Administrator | Published: March 1, 2006
A few weeks ago on Earshot we did an episode about how a college in Ohio has decided to start informing the parents of students if their offspring were caught drinking. We spoke to Randy Havesham, who thinks this is a fine idea. He likens people’s children to investments and reasons that as investors parents [...]
