Hey friends, it's Janay. I wanted to let you know about two upcoming events that are happening at WNYC in New York, where you can join other fans of the station in person. First off, this week, my colleagues from On the Media are hosting an event following their recent series that delves deep into the history of FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. If you didn't get a chance to listen to the series, come join us in person. You'll hear about why there is both so much conspiracy and distrust connected to the agency, but also so many long-serving federal workers who have devoted their lives to making sure the agency survives.

And bonus, you get to meet Micah and Brooke there. And next week, I'll be interviewing two-time Latin Grammy winner Ella Brick as part of an evening that's celebrating a new podcast that's just come out from Futurail Media. It's a show that goes deep into the history of salsa. in art form born in New York City. Rosie Perez will be there. She hosts the podcast, and we'll be talking and listening to music. I cannot wait. Get tickets for both these events at WNYC.org slash events.

I hope to see you there.
