“I could be walking in Central Park and come up on one of these horse and buggies. I don't think twice about it because I see it as part of the New York attraction. You know, you have the Statue of Liberty, you have Times Square, and you have these romantic horse and buggy things where people get married in the park and they ride these carriages. And tourists, they take these rides in Central Park. It's romantic, it's something beautiful to see. But I never thought for one second that these horses are abused.” – Tracy Winston, juror from Ryder’s trial New York City has a big, visible animal cruelty issue: horses forced to pull carriages, carrying heavy loads for long hours in all types of weather in the middle of chaotic traffic. Three years ago, a carriage horse named Ryder was a victim of this cruelty. He collapsed on a Manhattan street after being worked for hours in the summer heat. Two months later, he was euthanized. His story sparked global outrage. Ryder’s driver, Ian McKeever, was charged with animal cruelty The trial took place a few weeks ago, but McKeever was ultimately acquitted. This conversation is with Edita Birnkrant, the Executive Director of NYCLASS and Tracy Winston, one of the jurors from Ryder's trial. New York’s weak and outdated animal protection laws have not changed since Ryder died— and because of this, another avoidable death that occurred just a week after we recorded this interview. On August 5th, a horse named Lady died while pulling a carriage in Manhattan. This conversation is about accountability, about corruption and about what happens when justice fails the most vulnerable. It's too late for Ryder and Lady. But it is not too late to act. If you live in New York, please call your City Council members and tell them it’s time to bring Ryder’s Law, Intro 967, up for a vote and pass this vital bill to protect carriage horses from suffering and death on the city’s streets.

Journey Through Beethoven's Life: From Prodigy to Musical Legend - Audio Documentary 1:02:19

منذ 7 أيام1:02:19

1:02:19

Join us on an enlightening journey as we explore the remarkable early life of Ludwig van Beethoven. Born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770, Beethoven was baptized shortly after, a common practice of the time, hinting at his likely birth date. His family, with a musical lineage led by his father Johann, a court singer, and his grandfather, a former Kapelmeister, had high hopes for young Ludwig. Despite the harsh and demanding methods employed by his father to cultivate his talent, Beethoven's extraordinary musical abilities began to shine, leading to his first public performance at the tender age of seven. As we trace Beethoven's early years, the conversation takes us to Vienna, where he moved in 1792 to study under the esteemed Joseph Haydn. Vienna's vibrant musical scene provided both opportunities and challenges for the young composer, who initially struggled to find financial stability and suitable patrons. However, with support from influential figures like Baron Gottfried van Swieten and Prince Karl Lichnowsky, Beethoven's reputation as a pianist and composer began to grow. His early compositions and public debut at the Burgtheater marked significant milestones, even as the backdrop of political upheaval in Europe, including the French Revolutionary Wars, influenced his life and work. The episode also sheds light on Beethoven's later years, a period marked by personal and professional challenges yet defined by artistic triumph. We discuss his admiration for Napoleon Bonaparte, which inspired the "Eroica" Symphony, and the personal turmoil that accompanied his creative endeavors, including unrequited love and strained relationships with patrons. Despite these obstacles, Beethoven produced iconic works like the "Appassionata Sonata" and the Ninth Symphony, where he set Schiller's "Ode to Joy" to music. Through adversity, Beethoven's legacy endured, leaving an indelible mark on the world of music, which we explore in depth.…
