Episode description

Who’s to blame for the Sinking of General Slocum?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with old friend Ptolemy Slocum about who’s to blame for the tragic sinking of General Slocum. Ptolemy may know plenty about this event given his namesake. But the question remains: given the magnitude of this horrible accident, why don’t more people know about it? Especially New Yorkers! Could the media’s coverage of immigrant communities be to blame? Or is this the result of old fashioned capitalism? They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early.
