COURIER 67
Launching Schneps
Broadcasting with
Judge Judy
of any professional radio/podcast
studio.
I was ready and I was blessed
that Tony Rotunno, the editor
in-chief of all our Brooklyn
papers, and his colleague Johnny
Kunen, were ready too. Actually,
they were recreating their broadcasts
with a new format and
state-of-the-art equipment.
I was delighted to launch
my part of the show, “Power
Women” interviews, and who
personifies that better than Judy
Sheindlin, better known to the
immediate world as Judge Judy.
She and I have been friends
since our growing up
in Brooklyn and going
to James Madison High
School in the Midwood
section, and we both
grew up with loving parents
who made us feel special
and were our best cheerleaders.
I always felt I
could do anything
������������������������
always my safety net. Judy felt
the same.
We talked on the broadcast
about getting to where we are
today, but let me say no more.
You can tune into the show yourself
BP Radio link on the left side of
the page or on our QNS.com.
Each week, tune in and hear
“Power Women” talking about
how they got to where they are.
Amazon challenge: my take
With shock and terrible
disappointment,
I see there are
political forces looking to stop
the best thing that happened
to our borough: the arrival of
Amazon in Long Island City. It
seems so clear — an opportunity
for our borough to become
the leaders of the tech revolution
and see the creation of
thousands of jobs.
Just a few weeks ago, I ventured
over a short bridge from Astoria
to Roosevelt Island to experience
a new world created at our
footstep: Cornell Tech, a collaboration
of Cornell University and
Israel’s Technion. With the massive
financial help of our former
Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s philanthropy
and former Cornell graduate
Jamsetji Tata, owner of Tata
Motors.
We are on our way to becoming
the East Coast’s Silicon
Valley — but better because
we are a great diverse borough
and one of the reasons why
Amazon wanted to be here.
Amazon’s presence will make
us all more successful on many
levels.
Over the next few years, the
impact of the “trickle-down
effect” from creating high-paying
jobs will lift everyone.
We must raise our voices to
support Amazon and welcome
them to our city. They will
make us greater, and we them!

When Josh and I signed
the papers on our
acquisition of the
CNG Media Group six months
ago, the former owners, Jen and
Les Goodstein, took me on a
tour of their offices at MetroTech
in Downtown Brooklyn. To my
surprise, as we toured the spacious
location, they opened the
door to a room that held a table
loaded with microphones and a
console.
“What is this?” I asked.
“Oh,” Jen Goodstein said.
“That’s our radio and podcast
center.”
“What?!”
I exclaimed.“ O yes, we’ve
been doing
Brook lyn
Paper radio
podcasts,”
she replied.
I was in
awe! It’s
just what wanted to
do for our
media company,
because my parents were
because it’s available on the
My next interview is Pat
DiMango, who was lifted
Supreme Court bench
where she had just
been appointed to be
