First hour: Monroe County Public Defender Julie Cianca

Second hour: What you need to know as we look ahead to spring planting season

Monroe County Public Defender Julie Cianca joins us to discuss bail reform, criminal justice, and the work her office does. Cianca came into the job during a particularly rancorous time in county government. Her advocates say she has brought stability to the office. This hour, she talks about what she thinks the public defender's office needs next. Our guest:

  • Julie Cianca, Monroe County Public Defender

Then in our second hour, horticulture experts say it’s never too early to start thinking about spring. This hour, we discuss what you need to know about getting your space ready for planting season, and what the unseasonably warm weather might mean for your projects. Our guests also discuss ways to transition parts of a lawn into a more natural habitat. Our guests:

  • Michael Warren Thomas, founder of Naturally Green FLX, educator, and former radio host
  • Marci Muller, horticulture team leader at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County
