  • Drop the vocal fry

    Great journalism, but the vocal fry is excruciating. Get some vocal training. I would listen more often but can’t with the growling.

  • Audio Quality

    I want to really like this show but the audio quality is so poor it’s hard to listen to. It sounds like you all are whispering into a tin can.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

An Interview With Zohran Mamdani, Democratic Candidate for Mayor of New York City
Q: What will be your strategy for addressing disrepair and rent-stabilised units if landlords are not allowed to raise the rent on stabilised tenants?
There are about 1,100 or so rent-stabilised buildings, almost all of which are in the Bronx, that are in a real state of disrepair, and there is the ability for the city to actually address that without putting a blanket rent hike on more than 2 million tenants.
Who's Gonna Run This Town Tonight?
Q: What led Zeran Mamdani to consider apologizing to the NYPD for past remarks?
The discussion suggests Mamdani is adapting his messaging in light of his campaign and the current political climate, especially as a tight election year approaches.
Who's Gonna Run This Town Tonight?
Q: How was Eric Adams received on the street during his interaction?
People appeared quite annoyed and were just trying to go about their day, with mixed reactions to the mayor's presence.
Does NYC Need a Lonely Mayor?
Q: So, yeah, the CCRB, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, is the civilian-led independent agency of New York City government, where if you're a civilian and you believe that a police officer mistreated you or engaged in misconduct in a way that affected you, you can lodge a complaint.
The CCRB staff investigators will run your accusation down, collect evidence, and interview relevant parties.
Eric Aaaaaadams, Come Out to Playyyyy
Q: What is the status of the federal investigations?
The mayor faces charges on bribery and receiving campaign donations from foreign nationals, with additional probes into the NYPD and city contracts.
