  • Great show. Young ppl do know the Godfather, though.

    Been listening for months now. Early career journalist. This is where I get my nyc politics analysis. I will have to fact check one thing Dr. Greer said. Mid-20s Young people DO in fact know the Godfather so her reference in a recent epi did not fall on deaf ears. ;) Loved the show over the summer where they interviewed the guy from the tenement museum/who spoke about Muslim and immigrant politics in NY.

  • Hosts Think So Much of Themselves

    As others have said, these full of themselves hosts are constantly making excuses for Eric Adams, Cuomo, etc. Quite conservative, actually.

  • Zionist Talking Points

    I used to rely on this show for local NYC political coverage, but can no longer because host Harry Siegel has gone out of his way to parrot AIPAC zionist talking points when referring to protests against the Gaza Genocide, insisting on framing them as “anti-Israel” or other misleading descriptions. Shame on him, and shame on this podcast for allowing him to spread this right-wing garbage.

  • Easy Street

    How dare you flaunt your easy street status of not worrying about ICE arrests and joblessness. Do you not care about your community? What happened to taking care of the least of ourselves? Have a heart. These actions by ICE are against your sanctuary city laws. Grow a spine.

    Meanwhile you defend Adam’s looking like a bought toy on Fox News. Have you no dignity?!

  • Always a fan

    Listen every week and appreciate the pod. I enjoyed your most recent episode with Mr. Blake. I’m not sure how I will rank Mr. Blake, but his visit did underscore something I have felt for some time, that the show would benefit from a stronger presence/more representation from people of color from the Bronx, or even uptown Manhattan. Thanks for all you do!
