    #100 - Barbara Allen
    Sep 7 2025
    Imagine waking up one day to find your whole world turned upside down — your partner behind bars, your family in crisis, and no roadmap for what comes next. That was Barbara Allan’s reality. But instead of breaking under the weight, she built a movement. From founding Prison Families Anonymous to co-founding Prison Families Alliance, Barbara has become a voice for the millions of families serving ‘hidden sentences’ on the outside. Her story isn’t just about surviving — it’s about transforming pain into power, and isolation into community. And today, she’s here to share that journey with us.

    #95 - Veterans Talk with Legislator Chad Lennon
    Jul 8 2025
    On this episode of Legal Aid Radio, we invite you into a deeply personal, profoundly important, and hopeful conversation. We’re honored to welcome back Suffolk County Legislator Chad Lennon, a dedicated advocate for veterans in Suffolk County and across the nation.

    Chad joins us to discuss Suffolk’s landmark steps toward veteran suicide awareness and prevention, including legislation, a flag that stands for remembrance and healing, and a powerful 66-mile journey he’ll be making this fall in honor of those we've lost—and those still fighting silent battles.

    This is not just a conversation about policy—it's about people, purpose, and the courage to break the silence around mental health in the veteran community. We ask our listeners to listen with open hearts as we explore how Suffolk County is taking action, how each of us can make a difference, and how no one—especially our veterans—should ever have to walk alone. You don’t want to miss this moving conversation about hope, remembrance, and what it really means to stand for our veterans.

    Today, we are pleased to welcome back Dion Johnson, a returning guest whose journey of reintegration after incarceration sparked a powerful response from our listeners. When we last spoke, Dion opened up about the real-life challenges of starting over—and the critical role that meaningful employment plays for someone just coming home.

    Dion, you are back by popular demand! So many people have reached out wanting to know: What’s next? What’s new? And today, he’s here to give us the full rundown—from testifying for reform, to bailing out Black mothers from Rikers, to now working on the front lines of healthcare for justice-impacted individuals.

    Get ready for an update that’s not just personal—it’s part of a movement. This is about systems, second chances, and the power of purpose.

    #93 - Greg Grizopoulos
    Jun 15 2025
    Who is Greg Grizopoulos, and why is he running for Huntington Town Council?

    He’s more than a name on a ballot—he’s a former prosecutor, a respected trial attorney, a father of three, and a proud resident of Melville. Greg built his career on standing up for justice and defending the people of Long Island—both in the courtroom and in the community. From prosecuting violent crimes as an Assistant District Attorney to helping injured clients and those accused of a crime as a private attorney, Greg knows what it means to fight for fairness and safety. Now, he’s looking forward to bringing that same commitment to the Town of Huntington.

    —Protecting a suburban quality of life
    —Promoting responsible development    , not overdevelopment
    —Ensuring public safety, transparency, and real representation

    This isn’t about politics—it’s about people. Your neighborhood. Your family. Your voice.
