Episode #1033: Bag of Potato Chips
First Broadcast: 10/6/25
On September 28, 2025, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams officially announced that he was suspending his re-election campaign for Mayor (even though, like independent candidate Jim Walden, his name will still be on the ballot), effectively ending his chances for winning another term in office, and he did not endorse any of the remaining candidates in the process (although who would want his endorsement at this point is still an open question). Are we going to miss him and all his scandals, not the least of which was the time one of his campaign workers handed a reporter an envelope full of cash that was hidden inside a bag of sour cream and onion potato chips? Probably not. Will Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa stay in the race like he's promised, or will he eventually drop out too in order to make this a two-man race between Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and ex-Governor Mario Cuomo? Probably not either, but who knows? Will House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer--both New York City residents--ever get around to endorsing the candidate whom voters of their own party chose to nominate for mayor of their own city? Tick, tick! How much more money will President Trump extort from companies to build his unnecessary ballroom at the White House? Is Trump really going to tax all films made outside the United States, and how would he even do that? Don't ask me, I just live here...
So, what is Free New York anyway? The simple answer is that it's a
this neat little
public access TV show on
Manhattan Neighborhood Network which I co-produce with the
tremendous help of my camerawoman/editor/everything else,
Kim. The complicated answer
is that it's a project of mine to broadcast opinions and events which
don't always appear within "the mainstream media" (like The New York Times,
the major networks, local radio, etc.), and so far I think it's been working.
If you think I'm doing a good job--or not--and you feel
like sending me snail mail, the address is:
Free New York
P.O. Box 20945
Tompkins Square Station
New York, NY 10009
You can also email me at fny@freenewyork.net, which should get to me a lot faster than the snail mail.
