  • Disappointed

    So disappointed to hear the LOUD ads for voting-in down-ballot Republicans. Have listed to Joan for years - sad to hear she’s sponsored by Republicans. The only thing worse were the obnoxious ads by Janine Pirro droning on about guns😟. I hope Joan has nothing to do with choosing sponsors. I’ve always had such respect for Joan - but these ads are enough to keep me from listening.

  • The Big Apple Lady

    My husband is from New York so when we would visit often during the 2000s, we would listen to Joan on the radio. I think she had a call in show where she would recommend different shops in the City for hard to find items. It was fascinating to learn about the City through all her knowledge and experience. Our trips now are few and far between but I like that I can still listen to her interesting stories and shared knowledge. She is New York’s greatest gem!
