Brian Lair on WNYC, tonight at 7. I'll be co-hosting a 90-minute special called Haiti on the Line with our

public radio colleagues Tim Padgett from WLRN in Miami and Saraya Wintersmith

from GBAH in Boston. They both join me now for a preview and to open up the phones for a few

minutes here for Haitian and Haitian American listeners, as we'll do in longer form tonight.

Tim Padgett is the America's editor for WLRN covering Latin America, the Caribbean,

and their key relationships with South Florida. Saraya Wintersmith covers Boston City Hall for

GBAH News and is the host of the What Is Ode podcast. Hi, Tim, hi, Syrea. Thanks for doing

some morning time with us before our evening show. Welcome to WNYC. Hi, Brian. hi, Saraya. Thanks for doing some morning time with us before our evening
