This Week on MNN: Goodbye, Washington; Hello, New York
Catch any of President Obama’s Washington victory lap at the White House Correspondents Dinner? As the President reflected on his last year in office this weekend, we’ve been busy looking ahead and planning another week of MNN programming that’s more jam-packed than a presidential itinerary. Among the highlights, watch “The Woman’s Connection” for an important conversation about women’s pelvic health, then tune into “The Facts” on Tuesday for a music-story about the dangerous intersection of personal and office politics (Washington, take note). “The Special without Brett Davis” gets you over the mid-week hump with his quartet of comedy. Plus, later in the week, “Royal Lady” hosts Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., and “GingerNewYork” features student musicians from Emanuel Ayvas’ Listener School of Music.
MNN, out.
