    In The Papers has been my go to on and off for 20+ years (depending on my relationship with Spectrum). Now I feel like I can get the real talk behind the headlines. It’s been added to my morning podcast coffee rotation.

  • So happy to get a little of my fav NY1ers!

    A former NYer here... very sad I cannot access my beloved NY1 now that I live in CT. BUT at least with Morning People I can have a little dose of NY1 that gives me a dose of NYC life.

  • Awesome

    Super excited to see a new podcast with Pat coming on. Always loved listening to Pat’s Crosstown podcast and eagerly waited for new episodes until it was no more. Now, two for one special hits the podcast world with Jaime included. Already subscribed. Two down to earth people I can relate to in this crazy, crazy, crazy world.
