The Bowery Boys: New York City History
What's Up With Downtown Brooklyn? (Rewind)

The Bowery Boys: New York City History

Downtown Brooklyn has a history that is often overlooked by New Yorkers. You'd be forgiven if you thought Brooklyn's civic center — with a bustling shopping district and even an industrial tech campus — seemed to lack significant remnants of Brooklyn's past; many areas have been radically altered and hundreds of old structures have been cleared over the decades. But, in fact, Downtown Brooklyn is one of the few areas to still hold evidence of the borough's glorious past — its days as an independent city and one of the largest urban centers in 19th century America. Around Brooklyn City Hall (now Borough Hall) swirled all aspects of Brooklyn's Gilded Age society. With the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge and a network of elevated railroad lines, Downtown Brooklyn became a major destination with premier department stores on Fulton Street, entertainment venues like the Brooklyn Academy of Music and exclusive restaurants like Gage & Tollners. The 20th century brought a new designation for Brooklyn — a borough of Greater New York — and a series of major developments that attempted to modernize the district — from the creation of Cadman Plaza to New York's very own ‘tech hub'. In 2004 a major zoning change brought a new addition to the multi-purpose neighborhood — high-end residential towers. Today these streets are darkened with the shadows of the borough's tallest buildings -- including the very tallest Brooklyn Tower. What will the future hold for the original heart of the City of Brooklyn? How do vibrant New York City neighborhoods react to major changes to city life while retaining their historic character? For the next three weeks, we will present three neighborhood-history shows from the Bowery Boys podcast in a new light, exploring how these historic areas survive sudden changes in economic growth, housing needs and tourism. See last week's show on SoHo for the first part in this series. This episode was remastered by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A single radio station can explain an entire era if you listen closely enough. We rewind to WLIR 92.7 and the Screamer of the Week, when DJs pitched their favorite new songs and listeners called in to vote, turning early 1980s rock radio into a hands-on discovery engine. That lens lets us hear 1981 the way it actually felt: unpredictable, genre-blurring, and way ahead of the mainstream curve. We jump from The Tubes' “Talk To Ya Later” to the behind-the-scenes web that connects Vince Welnick, the Grateful Dead, and Steve Lukather's instantly recognizable guitar work. From there, we track the early MTV effect and why music video exposure changed record sales, then land on deep-cut details around PhD and Squeeze's “Tempted,” including the kind of production and guest-vocal surprises you'd never catch without liner notes and obsessive re-listening. We also dig into the UK approach to singles versus the American “greatest hits” mindset, which helps explain how some songs live outside the album cycle. Stevie Nicks' “Edge of Seventeen” brings in influence, misheard words, and that Police-inspired guitar feel, and Duran Duran's “Girls On Film” turns into a mini history of censorship, nightclub cuts, and what MTV could and couldn't show. Along the way we veer into peak real-life tangents: a legendary misheard-lyrics moment, a tabloid Brooklyn Bridge headline, a dog casually attending Rush at Madison Square Garden, plus a quick “Minute with Jimmy” review of the Strokes' new album Reality Awaits.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches from Philippians 2:12–13 that believers don't work for salvation but work out what God has given through grace, cooperating with the Holy Spirit who provides desire and strength without forcing obedience. Pastor Troy explains that fearing the Lord means taking God seriously, trusting Jesus as the only way, and living with eternity in view, including the reality of heaven, hell, and judgment. Using illustrations of sculpting, everyday selfishness, and the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, he urges Christians to let God “chisel away” what doesn't belong so they shine brighter in a darker world. He outlines results of the fear of the Lord—knowing who God is, humility, and joyful obedience—and ends with a call to surrender to Jesus in prayer for first-time or returning commitment.

Stephanie is joined by Sam Stiles for a chaotic, funny, and heartfelt recap of the Great New York 100, a grassroots 100-mile loop around New York City. After meeting during the Connecticut 123, where they shared roughly 40 miles together, Stephanie reached out to Sam with a huge ask: come pace her through the night in New York, help navigate the city, and make sure she did not accidentally turn the race into what her friends lovingly called “the Murder Race.” Sam answered the call, commuting from Connecticut by car, train, and subway before jumping in for a 36-mile overnight pacing adventure.  Together, Stephanie and Sam break down what makes this race so unique: the 5:00 AM start in Times Square, the route through parks, boardwalks, bridges, and city streets, the grassroots race logistics, the lack of bathrooms, the importance of headlamps, and the constant need to watch for course markings, traffic, bikes, and, yes, rats. From counting 11 oversized New York rats to flying down the Brooklyn Bridge with three miles to go, they share the details that made the race both ridiculous and unforgettable.  The episode also zooms out into the bigger picture of ultra-running community. Stephanie reflects on the way Sam showed up for her in New York, then how she turned around days later to course mark and volunteer at Copper Kings in Montana. Sam shares what is next for him, including running in Colombia and future race possibilities, while Stephanie talks through recovery, upcoming back-to-back 100-milers, and the logistics that still have her nervous. At the heart of the episode is the reminder that ultra-running is full of wild ideas, generous people, and the kind of stories that only happen when someone says yes to doing something stupid with you.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

Send us Fan MailA $5,000 lunch. A 30-year promise. A frozen walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to make the new year feel real. R. Scott Edwards sits down with comedian Mark Schiff for a warm, hilarious time-capsule of stand-up comedy history that starts in New York at The Comic Strip and stretches all the way to arena-sized shows with Jerry Seinfeld. If you love comedy stories that actually explain how this business works, you're going to get a ton out of Mark's memories and the hard-earned lessons underneath them.We talk about the crew Mark called “the funniest men in the universe” and the New Year's Day breakfast tradition that kept friendships alive through careers, travel, and chaos, including one year that turns into an international adventure. Then the tone shifts to something more personal: Mark shares how he quit drinking during a booked week at Laughs Unlimited in Old Sacramento, and we dig into that strange truth every working comic knows, the stage adrenaline that can carry you through sickness, stress, and doubt when the audience is waiting.From there it's pure “life on the road” gold: comedy condo disasters, long-distance phone scandals from the pre-cellphone era, and prank stories from touring. We also get a behind-the-scenes moment from the Seinfeld tour when Jerry gets food poisoning before a packed theater and Mark is told to go out and keep the show alive. Plus, you'll hear a full Mark Schiff stand-up set with sharp bits on 99 cent stores, Costco, parenting grown kids, and marriage.If you enjoy the show, subscribe, share it with a comedy fan, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Dan shares how the story began as an echo song, "I Got a Bicycle," on his kids' music podcast Noodle Loaf, and how his love of life on two wheels—and riding with his kids—pedaled its way onto the page. Jed and Dan swap stories about city biking in Boston and New York, the tensions between drivers and cyclists, and the pure joy of rolling through town on a perfect spring day. Dan describes memorable family rides across the Brooklyn Bridge for dumplings in Chinatown and how food destinations often become the playful motivation for longer rides with his kids. The conversation then turns to Dan's rich musical life: his work as a music therapist, his long history in bands, and the way nearly all his books are connected to songs. He explains how music therapy can reach people with memory loss or speech challenges in powerful ways, and Jed adds moving personal stories—from his mother's dementia to witnessing Stevie Wonder calm an angry crowd with a call for love and understanding. Later in the episode, Jed is joined by returning guests Dr. Sam and JL McCready to talk about their delightful new picture book Escapees, a playful interstellar adventure about runaway peas, creativity, collaboration, and the joy of making stories that truly connect with kids and families.

Emily Warren Roebling helped build one of America's most iconic landmarks while quietly redefining what women were capable of in the 19th century.  Long before women were recognized in engineering or leadership roles, Emily stepped into a world dominated by men after her husband, Washington Roebling, became severely ill during construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. With no formal engineering education, she taught herself advanced mathematics, bridge construction, materials science, and project management to serve as his eyes, ears, and voice on-site. Through intelligence, resilience, and determination, Emily became the critical link that kept the project alive and ultimately helped bring the bridge to completion in 1883.
