In The Stacks

Never stop learning! Go strike up a conversation with your neighbor—or even the person at the deli counter—as we sit down with our F.I.G. (Friend in Government), Assemblyman Kwani B. O’Pharrow. From movies and the “EPCOT of Long Island” to first‑year highlights in office and Capital Grille’s Chilean Sea Bass, we put the Assemblyman to the test. It takes a village—and teamwork—In The Stacks!

Get curious—because what you think the thing is… isn’t always the thing! We’re Makin’ It Healthy today with wellness coach and cookbook author Geetu Makin. Tune in to learn what really happens when you grab that Snickers bar, why “organic” doesn’t automatically mean “healthy” and the essential pantry staples every household should have on hand. We may not all get the same things, but eventually we all get what we need… In The Stacks!

Every day is different, and today we’re thrilled to sit down with New York State Senator Monica Martinez! She shares insights on the importance of Shannon’s Law, the future of veteran healthcare, and the professor who changed her life’s direction. Join us as we look for the light at the end of the tunnel—because it’s all happening In the Stacks!

Joe chats with Legislator Rebecca Sanin.

It’s time to show up! We are as pleased as punch to have Madeline Quintyne-McConney, President of the Suffolk County Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women! We talk about the importance of advocacy, mentoring today’s young women, equity in the workforce and grandkids! All we need is love because it’s all In The Stacks!

Do you want to be in the room where it happens? Grab the ramen noodles, today’s episode is with Suffolk County Legislature Minority Leader Jason Richberg! Parenting, work ethics, the path to happiness, his Youth Leadership Caucus, the 12-hour playlist and newsflash, your doctor got an F in school …it's all In The Stacks!
