I love this podcast ! My youngest should be moving to nyc and we travel there often from Texas - love listening to all the great stories and I tell all my
NYC friends on events that are happening in this fab city
I miss old format. I loved getting the news first thing in the morning. I understand budget cuts are why we’re stuck with the new format but almost all the “news” is fluff pieces and way too pro-Mamdani.
I'm sad about the funding crisis but does that mean the podcast had to devolve into a juvenile gossip fest?
Bring back the daily 10 min format!
The short, three times daily episodes were really what set this program apart and the way the episodes punctuated my workday is what kept me listening. With the new format, which feels less focused on the daily headlines, I find myself skipping most days. I’m really sad to lose what was one of the parts of my daily routine I most looked forward to and had recommended to others. The reporting quality is still great, but I don’t think I’ll be a frequent listener now.
