"Hot Media with Bob Mann" looks at the media's take on gentrification. Bob talks with playwright Joseph Gallo about his work entitled "Yuppies Invade My House at Dinner." The story of this production starts forty years ago with letters to a newspaper editor from upset citizens. Those letters become a book and Gallo is now crafting a play. The primary focus is Hoboken NJ, but the conversation deals with the controversies surrounding gentrification across the nation.
