It’s so great to have somebody like Errol Louis in the city to report and dissect the politics and everything else that comes with it. He’s been exceptional over this mayoral election cycle and Inside City Hall is an essential watch. As is this podcast!!
There are few broadcasts where preoccupation with image and dynamic sets take a back seat to adult conversations. Errol Louis leads fascinating conversations, not only because he aims at the root of NY, but because he IS, NY. He knows the history, the characters and their stories. The narrative makes itself. You wanna really (really) know what’s going on in NYC, the world? Don’t just watch the news, hear what the people shaping that news are sharing with Errol Louis.

He openly supported Beinart’s claims instead. This leaves the listener with only one side of the story.
Errol did the same thing when he interviewed Henry Garrido of DC37 about New Yor... more
Please.
Great interviews and discussions led by Mr. Louis, who clearly has a great love for New York and a deep respect for his listeners.
Very sharp and insightful interview!
