Listener supported, WNYC Studios.

It's the Brian Laira Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone.

We have Manhattan, DA, Alvin Bragg on today's show.

Bragg is even more in the news than usual right now between the Mangione case, the penny case,

There was last week's indictment of Mayor Adams' top aide, and now over the weekend,

have you even heard the story yet?

The post says Madri, who is married, by the way, would have been the one to approve the lieutenant's overtime.

And beyond that, the new police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, removed the head of the Internal Affairs Division

on Saturday. The post says Commissioner Tisch has spent much of December breaking up the so-called

boys club within the NYPD and forcing out the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau for his

shoddy handling, as the post calls it, of the Madri case. So the allegations against

Madri, too, are now being investigated by the DA, Alvin Bragg. We'll see how many of those

things we can get to when the DA joins us later this hour. Also today are 100 years of 100 things.

WNYC Centennial series continues with thing number 51,
