We lighten the mood and after the political fix, we turn to music and my interview with James Felice of the Felice Brothers which I taped last week before their sold out December 29th show at The Brooklyn Bowl. James was ultra candid about his thoughts on our society and the interplay between the toxic political climate and the art that it is breeding including his bands own music. James revealed that the bands 6th full length release will be hitting the airwaves in May of this year and he also sheds light on the music industry and the ever evolving music landscape that he continues to traverse 12 years after the Catskill family band began busking in the New York city Subway.

With shocking last minute news coming from Governor Cuomo's hastily arranged Thursday afternoon press conference that the Manhattan/Brooklyn L Train will not be shut in its entirety for 15 months beginning in April, host Chilly Pete speaks with local Assemblyman Joe Lentol to better understand the news. What alternate travel accommodations will remain in place on nights and weekends, how much money will the new plan require, and is Assemblyman Lentol comfortable with Governor Cuomo's non-traditional approach to this issue? They also discuss pending legislation in Albany that is set to legalize cannabis for consumer use in this upcoming legislative session.

Chilly Pete is then joined with transit consultant Joe Anastasio of Access Queens who authored the organization's L train closure analysis plan. They discuss the logistical dilemmas that will still exist during the L trains night and weekend disruptions for the next few years as the work is slated to take at minimum 15 months to complete.

Western New York Defense Attorney Mario J. Fratto has always been a type of person to say what is on his mind. When candidate Donald Trump entered the political arena, Trumps disdain of traditional political norms attracted Fratto to then candidate Trump.

Two years into his Trump’s Presidential term, Fratto admits things are a bit dysfunctional, but he’s sticking by his guy. Fratto believes the system is so rotted from within, dysfunction is something that could be beneficial- it certainly has motivated citizens from all political persuasions to tune into political as was seen by November’s near historic voter participation.

Fratto chats with Chilly Pete about politics in 2018, jumping from one hot button issue to the next with some predictions for the new year. They keep it civil and they both hope for calm in 2019, but Fratto admits calm is an unlikely political reality once Democrats take the Congressional gavel on January 3rd.

In the last several weeks Chilly Pete has been in contact with an individual who has been brought both to the court of law and equally consequentially to the court of public opinion. Based on the social verdict, he has been forced to spend the last several years out of the public spotlight.

In a new social era, which some have dubbed the #MeToo era, what do those seeking to come back into the public realm need to do to try in gaining public acceptance- if they are going to even to attempt a comeback?

Chilly Pete is joined by Ariel PJ Stewart, MSW, and Rabbi Yisroel Nissim of Greenpoint Chabad House, to traverse this socially fraught topic.
