What does Martha have in common with Madonna, DeNiro, and Lil Nas X? Answer: Allen Grubman. In 1987 Martha was a caterer, new author, and just starting to branch out into retail. Grubman was a New York City lawyer, handling contracts for musical artists, who recognized the business potential. He helped negotiate Martha’s contract with Kmart, which they then leveraged to buy her magazine from Time-Warner ­­-- the most important deal of her career. Thirty-six years later, they are still working together, and Grubman is still creating power deals for the most influential stars in music, movies, and beyond. Listen here as they catch up.

The Transformation of the Hudson River Park

Just 30 years ago, Manhattan’s west side shoreline was marked by decaying piers and dilapidated buildings left when the shipping industry moved out of the city. Today, the Hudson River Park stretches four miles along New York City and the piers have become playgrounds, paths, concert venues, and places to bike, walk, kayak and play volleyball. Listen to the story of this unique park, and how a partnership between the city and state of New York, along with residents and donors, transformed the prized waterfront space. Martha interviews Connie Fishman, Executive Director of Hudson River Park Friends and Carrie Roble, Vice President Estuary and Education for the Hudson River Park Trust, in this enlightening conversation about preserving our public spaces.
