In this AudioFiles episode, we report on environmental advocates’ pushback on a natural pipeline off the south shore of Staten Island that's been given the go-ahead from the NYS DEC. Then, a look at NYC's plan to bring relief to the chronically flood-prone neighborhood of Jewel Streets near the Brooklyn-Queens border. And we hear the story of one New Yorker's endeavor to rehabilitate and rehome red-eared sliders abandoned in NYC to their native habitat in the south.

AudioFiles Presents: What’s it like to vote without privacy?
The first time Kathy Collins voted in person, she had to tell someone else who she was voting for. We take privacy for granted when it comes to voting, but for many disabled Americans, that hasn’t been the case. Join us for the lead up to election day as we talk to Kathy and Dr. Sharon McLennon Wier about what it’s like to vote without privacy in New York – and what activists are doing about it.
This show was written and produced by Sasha Linden Cohen and Cullen Fagan. It was edited by Meg Cramer, with thanks to Curtis Fox and Chad Bernhard for help with sound engineering. Thank you to Kathy Collins and Dr. Sharon McLennon Wier for sharing their stories, as well as Anna Humphrey and CIDNY for letting us come to work with them. Some of our music was composed by Sasha Linden Cohen, and the rest was sourced from Blue Dot Sessions. The host was Cullen Fagan.
