On this episode we interview three Parkies with connections to The Bronx and what drew them to public service. Why did they want to work for the NYC Parks Department? And in the pandemic, did the fact that they were public servants play a role in how they worked in the COVID-19 era?
Our interviews on episode #3:
- Stephanie Ehrlich, Van Cortlandt Park Administrator
- Shawn James, Deputy Chief of Recreation for The Bronx
- Jamaal Jones, Recreation Specialist
We record our shows in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at McCarren Park Play Center in the Media Education Lab. Our team is using the Media Lab and Parks volunteers to share our history with listeners, presenting some of the more than 100 oral history interviews conducted with Parkies.
