The incomparable Katie Mingle is back on 99pi. I couldn’t be more thrilled!
The world’s largest housing co-op— built to save New York City’s middle class— became the unlikely site of a resident revolt.

@romanmars.bsky.social and the 99pi crew are taking promotion for their new “Service Request” miniseries to the extreme
Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.
311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.
So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

@jeyca97.bsky.social's first ep on 99PI!
A dusty surveillance file uncovers the story of love, betrayal, and the fight for Puerto Rico’s freedom.
Foreign in a Domestic Sense
On a recent trip to Puerto Rico, producer Jeyca Medina-Gleason discovered a piece of her family history: a manila folder with her grandfather Tomás Velez Lopez's photo attached to the front. Across the top in bold letters, it read "Division of Special Investigations" followed by a case number. This folder—known in Puerto Rico as a "carpeta"—contained over 60 pages detailing her grandfather's life, including mundane information like his height, weight, and license plate number.

Yup. Just to say, I did report and produce a whole ep of 99PI about how bathroom segregation itself historically and today remains just about control and policing whichever less-powerful groups ...
Remember when cis people rose up to protest a trans bathroom ban in North Carolina? Memories! Hard to believe that was only ten years ago. Now nearly half the states in the country have bans like that one and none of the cissies give a shit.

Of all the podcasts I rushed to subscribe to in the 2010s, 99pi, The Adam Buxton Podcast and Backlisted are the only ones I’m still listening to.
Terrific @99pi.org episode on 0800 numbers and (even better) old 0800 lawyer adverts. The real-life Lionel Hutz are here. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/9...
