Greetings from The Bronx,
Amira is a dancer who practices Raqs Sharqi, an Egyptian dancing style popularized during the Golden Age of Egyptian cinema. The dance is done at haflas (parties), weddings, restaurants, and there is even a version performed as a form of resistance.
We spoke about Amira's entry into the world of Raqs Sharqi, the history of the dance, her experiences performing in Egypt, and much more.

Episode 307 Brooklyn's Ghost Streams with Eymund Diegel
Eymund Diegel is an urban planner specialized in the mapping and analysis of changing urban, rural, and natural habitat systems. Over the past several years he has been mapping Brooklyn's "ghost streams" - sites where streams and waterways existed in Brooklyn's original ecological zones and now live under asphalt and development. His work is centered around making the city's future more sustainable.
We met in Sunset Park, Brooklyn for an ecological walk around the neighborhood, and then we recorded at Eymund's apartment. We discussed the breadth of his work as well as the city's past, present, and future.
