Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 180 ratings
  • Intimate like radio, with a living library all wrapped up into one.

    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.

  • One-Sided Reporting

    I just listened to Errol’s interview with Peter Beinart. A good reporter doesn’t let his own personal views get in the way of accurate coverage. Beinart’s view of the Israel Hamas War is very most certainly one-sided. But, Errol has once again failed to interview a second pundit with a contrasting point of view. 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

  • Cuomo series a must listen

    A thoughtful and probing look at a giant of New York. The theme: the difference between politics and governing. For the first time I felt I heard Mario Cuomo, and thanks to the brilliant Errol Lewis, we understand why he was ultimately never interested in national politics. He did what he loved and cared about, making New York the best place in the world. Thank you for this holiday gift.
