NEW YORK WORKS



Audio Portraits of a Vanishing City



94-year old Selma Koch runs one of New York's last old-style bra fitting


shops. Walter Backerman still



delivers seltzer along the same route worked by his father and grandfather.


Frank Sabatino is one of two commercial fisherman



left in Jamaica Bay. John Klein runs the last family farm in New York


City.

New York Works takes listeners to jobs that are slowly disappearing;


and celebrates people who keep alive an older way of life.



 

Featuring:



Walter Backerman, seltzer man



Selma Koch, bra saleswoman



Frank Schubert, lighthouse keeper



John Klein, farmer



Charlie Zimmerman, water tower builder



Caly Rivera, cowbell and drum maker
