The Indypendent News Hour on WBAI-99.5 FM // 18 March '25

In the first half of the show, we look at the continually exploding crisis at Columbia University which is on the cutting edge of the Trump administration’s plans for higher education in this country to no longer be a bastion of free speech and political protest. Then we speak with historian Robert W. Snyder about his new book on the essential workers who kept New York running when the Covid-19 pandemic exploded five years ago this month.
