Mason and Carberry Thursday at WNHH.
Thursday’s programs on WNHH radio looked at alternative schools for New Haven teens, the history of surf movies — and Spike Lee flicks — and the status of a possible custodians’ strike.
Belinda Carberry and Dorthy Mason of New Haven’s Polly McCabe school for pregnant and parenting teens appeared on Alisa Bowen’s “Culture Cocktail” to discuss their work. Later in the episode, Tara Murphy took on a big topic: self love. To listen to the full episode, click on or download the episode above.
Filmmaker Jeremy Rumas joined host Thomas Breen for “Deep Focus” to discuss Hangs Upon Nothing, a surf film that will be screened tonight at Lyric Hall. During the latter half of his episode, “Urban Talk Radio” host Shafiq Abdussabur and New Haven Independent reporters Lucy Gellman and Allan Appel came on to discuss Spike Lee’s new film Chi-Raq.

On “Dateline New Haven,” host Paul Bass interviewed unionized custodians about a potential strike. To listen to the full episode, click on or download the episode above. (Click here to read more about the interview and progress of contract talks.)
Hosts Allan Appel and Jason Bischoff-Wurstle are back in the news of 1942, and “This Day in New Haven History” is looking a little grim. While today’s front pages announced that the Nazis were being routed by the Red Army in Russia and the “Japs Menace British in Honking,” it was also M‑G-M week in New Haven. Life went on, with lots of great films playing around town, including “Hello Sucker,” with Hugh Herbert at the Dixwell Playhouse. For a movie more serious for the moment, you could also choose to see a documentary about the latest Soviet war news, followed by a speaker, and then the antidote to all that: W.C. Fields in “My Little Chickadee” over at the Lincoln on Trumbull Street. To listen to the full episode, click on or download the episode above.
