"For every Jackie Robinson or Shirley Chisolm that New Yorkers can feel good about, there was a nefarious character like Richard Riker who dealt in infamy."
Funny story. We planned this to be a 20 minute chat but then we got talking . . . . I love it when a #podcast interview becomes a real conversation! Thank you Yeah-Uh-Huh for this great experience.

Episode · Yeah-Uh-Huh · YUH 185 is environtmental lawyer/professor/author Rebecca Bratspies and her book "Naming Gotham: The Villains, Rogues and Heroes Behind New York’s Place Names". Sitting in the exhasberating traffic of the Major Deegan Highway one day, our guest had plenty of time to ponder (and sometimes curse) the faceless figures that blessed the infrastracture in and around one of the greatest cities in the world. As she researched some of these historical figures, she discovered that manyof them might have been worthy of their distinction, while others were far less deserving of having their name committed to posterity. For every Jackie Robinson or Shirley Chisolm that New Yorkers can feel good about, there was a nefarious character like Richard Riker who dealt in infamy. #gothamcity #majordeegan #jackierobinson #shirlychisolm #williamshea #brooklynbridge #cuny #queens #williamcullenbryant #johnastor #annhutchinson YUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3 https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobriety-Blues-David-Mojo3/dp/B091N8BJNB Rebecca Bratspies Offical https://www.rebeccabratspies.com/ Naming Gotham: The Villains, Rogues and Heroes Behind New York’s Place Names on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Naming-Gotham-Villains-Rogues-Heroes/dp/1467151408 Yeah Uh Huh Social Stuff: Yeah Uh Huh on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpod Yeah Uh Huh on Facebook https://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPod Yeah Uh Huh on Twitter https://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPod Yeah Uh Huh on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aa Yeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611 Yeah Uh Huh Website: https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpod
In this episode of our special series, "Life After Law," Victoria Collier sits down with Rebecca Bratspies, an esteemed law professor, author, and historian, to explore how lawyers can transition into fulfilling roles outside the traditional practice of law. Rebecca shares her experiences working on innovative projects that blend law, education, and community engagement. From using comic books to teach environmental justice in New York City schools to collaborating with artists on constitutional amendments, Rebecca offers a wealth of insight into how legal skills can be applied to make a significant impact in various fields. Tune in to discover how you can leverage your legal background to find renewed purpose and passion in life after law. Key Takeaways: 1. Lawyers possess transferable skills that are highly valuable in non-legal roles, particularly in community-focused projects. 2. Understanding and teaching history through creative methods can make complex legal concepts accessible and engaging for diverse audiences. 3. Involvement in community groups as a participant, rather than as a legal advisor, allows lawyers to contribute meaningfully while pursuing personal interests.

Such fun talking with Apollo Papyrus about #NamingGotham & the #EnvironmentalJustice Chronicles. Learned a new word- Toponym (a place name, especially derived from a natural feature.)
