Gowanus Lounge Talks Red Hook on WNYC's Brian Lehrer

Well, after a one-hour Bush-related delay yesterday, Gowanus Lounge and writer Gabriel Cohen spent twenty minutes talking about the past, present and future of Red Hook yesterday on Brian Lehrer's WNYC program. It was fun, and Brian (above) was his always excellent, intelligent and engaging self. It was wonderful meeting Gabriel Cohen, who is a talented writer, has great knowledge about Brooklyn and is a nice person. Meanwhile, the highlight was sitting in the control room during the first 90 minutes of the show, watching Brian's superb production team--including Senior Producer Nuala McGovern, Jim Colgan, Priya George and Lisa Allison--in action. If you'd like to hear GL and Gabriel you can get the podcast or click over to the Brian Lehrer Show's audio archive page on WNYC's website or just click on this link to download the MP3 directly. GL's story on Red Hook for the Brooklyn Papers, by the way, should be out in this week's upcoming edition.
