In 1976, as part of America's bicentennial celebration, the New York Transit Museum was born, after a temporary exhibit was proposed by city transit employees. The museum was set up in a decommissioned 1936 subway station in Brooklyn, where it still stands today. As part of the 50th anniversary, the Museum has organized special programming, including a family fundraiser, a parade of trains, and anniversary shuttle rides. Museum director Regina Shepherd reflects on 50 years of the Transit Museum.

All Of It with Alison Stewart is a show about culture and its consumers.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture.
Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great.
ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London:
"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things."
...In other words, ALL OF IT.

Join us for ALL OF IT with Alison Stewart, weekdays from 12:00 - 2:00PM on WNYC.
