Season 1, Ep.7 : Sam Janis, Billion Oyster Project

Sam Janis is a kayaker, a teacher, and now manages the programs for the Billion Oyster Project’s Schools Program. CB Radio hosts first met Janis commuting to work at the Harbor School in his kayak in 2014. He has worked as a social studies teacher at the Harbor School, and now helps many more schools learn about oysters and their importance to the city’s ecology. CB Radio was inspired by the research, design, and development of Citizen Bridge, a temporary floating bridge to reconnect New Yorkers to their waterways. In order to learn about New York City’s waterways, Nancy Nowacek artist and project founder, engaged the expertise and advice of writers, architects, artists, industrial designers, bridge engineers, as well as the experts and enthusiasts that comprise New York City’s maritime community. From the Harbor School to the Waterfront Museum and Showboat Barge, CB Radio—in collaboration with Jake Nussbaum, artist and Clocktower Radio Station Manager— will introduce listeners to the people and ideas that define New York City’s harbor.
