A Hudson River Shanty
When Albany activist Kat Sullivan heard a satirical sea shanty about the ship that recently clogged the Suez Canal, she was inspired to try her hand at the trending musical genre. On a rainy Sunday morning, she set to work composing and filming her own shanty detailing the fallout from a whistleblower's complaint of potential safety hazards in the construction of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, as first reported by the Times Union. On this episode of The Eagle, Editor Casey Seiler speaks with Sullivan to find out more about how the shanty came together. Also on this episode, we'll talk to the first Black valedictorian in Albany High School's 152-year history, and we'll get a sneak peek at local comedienne Erin Harkes' new stand-up album, "Zoloft and Probation."* *Please be aware that this episode contains some explicit language
