That's Uptown Voices. That's Black & Blanco.In this wide-ranging episode, Led Black and Octavio Blanco cover everything happening uptown — from community arts opportunities and free childcare to the upcoming theatrical release of Mad Bills to Pay, the Sundance award-winning film set in the Bronx that Led has been championing since he first saw it at Lincoln Center last year.Then the conversation turns to the state of the world. Trump's $400 billion defense budget proposal. The war with Iran. The cost of living. The \"Great Impoverishment.\" And a genuinely intense debate between two friends who love each other — and don't always see eye to eye.This is what honest, unscripted community media looks like. No sugarcoating. Just Uptown.If this episode resonated with you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it. It costs you nothing and it means everything to us.
