From New York, the greatest city in the world, and now with never before heard audio, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! We have a brief note about change this summer: every Friday starting next week, Brandon's taking The Update on the road to explore the different parts of New York City!
Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:
1. The New York Philharmonic is considering allowing female musicians to wear pants while playing Mozart and Tchaikovsky. The New York Times reports that the orchestra has been quietly talking about relaxing its requirement that women wear floor-length black skirts or gowns at formal evening concerts.
2. A suspect has pleaded not guilty in the killing of a Long Island teenager who police identified as a victim of the violent MS-13 gang.
3. There was more mudslinging in the second debate between U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan and challenger Michael Grimm, who held the seat before pleading guilty to tax fraud in 2014 and later resigning from office.
