Episode description

Who’s to blame for the NYC Blackout of 1977?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes comedian Janet Varney, host of The JV Club podcast, to discuss the epic NYC Blackout of 1977. If you’re in the dark about this one, allow us to shine a much needed light on all the events that occurred during this prolonged power outage. Did a freak lightning strike put a strain on the NYC power grid or was the strain already brewing due to economic, institutional and government failures. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
