It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone, and happy eclipse day.

We got through the earthquake day on Friday, and it's on to Solar Eclipse Day today. Someone

near where I live posted on a neighborhood website. Is anyone going out to watch the ellipse?

Oops. Grammarians everywhere will be thrilled that everyone is so excited about an ellipse.

Dot, dot, dot. At the end of the show today, in about an ellipse. Dot, dot, dot, dot.

At the end of the show today, in about an hour and a half, we will share solar eclipse science

and safety tips and stories.

Very important on the safety level.

You can go blind if you don't know what to do during this.

So it'll be solar eclipse science, safety tips,

and we'll take calls from anyone who has experienced

a total or near-total eclipse of the sun

to give us tips on how to get the most out of the experience.

I was in one myself once in my life,

and I'll share a little of that.

That'll be our last segment today starting in about

an hour and a half. But we begin this week with one of the top ranking leaders of the NYPD.

We'll talk to Chief of Patrol, John Schell, about crime in the city, especially crime in the

subway system. We'll talk about the murder of police officer Jonathan Diller two weeks ago today.

Also a controversial fatal shooting by the NYPD a few days later.

And we'll talk about Chief Shell's very public criticism on social media of a daily news columnist,

Harry Siegel, in the past week or so.
