At the heart of New York's Gilded Age — the late 19th-century era of unprecedented American wealth and excess — were families with the names Astor, Waldorf, Schermerhorn, and Vanderbilt, alongside power players like A.T. Stewart, Jay Gould and William “Boss” Tweed.They would all make their homes — and in the case of the Vanderbilts, their great many homes — on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.The image of Fifth Avenue as a luxury retail destination today grew from the street's aristocratic reputation in the 1800s. The rich were inextricably drawn to the avenue as early as the 1830s when rich merchants, anxious to be near the exquisite row houses of Washington Square Park, began turning it into an artery of expensive abodes.In this podcast, Tom and Greg present a world that's somewhat hard to imagine — free-standing mansions in an exclusive corridor running right through the center of Manhattan. Why was Fifth Avenue fated to become the domain of the so-called “Upper Ten”? And what changed about the city in the 20th century to ensure the eventual destruction of most of them?The following is a re-edited, remastered version of two past Bowery Boys shows — the Rise and Fall of the Fifth Avenue Mansion. Combined, this tells the whole story of Fifth Avenue, from the initial development of streets in the 1820s to its Midtown transformation into a mecca of high-end shopping in the 1930s. This could also serve as a primer to the HBO series The Gilded Age, the official podcast co-hosted by Tom Meyers!

On June 5, 1975, on the seedy stage of CBGB on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a band named Talking Heads took the stage for the first time. Unlike the Ramones, for whom they were opening, they weren't sporting black leather jackets or edgy haircuts. David Byrne and Chris Frantz had met at art school a few years before, and the bassist, Tina Weymouth, had only learned to play her instrument six months prior. But within a few weeks, Talking Heads would be plastered on the cover of the Village Voice, well on their way to utterly transforming the downtown New York music scene. After Jerry Harrison joined Talking Heads in 1977, the band would go on to radically alter rock music's relationship to avant-garde art and performance. In his new book, Burning Down the House, Jonathan Gould tells the story of how Talking Heads experimented their way to a singular musical style over the course of eight studio albums and one incredible concert film, Stop Making Sense, and he discusses their enduring influence despite having disbanded more than 30 years ago.Go beyond the episode:Jonathan Gould's Burning Down the House: Talking Heads and the New York Scene That Transformed RockRead about the origin of Stop Making Sense—and then watch it, of courseCheck out the new “Psycho Killer” music video starring Saoirse Ronan, made in honor of the 40th anniversary of the first Talking Heads performanceTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Let me take you right to the heart of what's been shaking up the courts and the headlines—the ongoing saga of Donald Trump's legal battles just days before the end of June 2025. Only a year and a half after Donald Trump was convicted by a New York State jury on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to hide a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, the former president's legal team is still fighting tooth and nail to overturn that conviction. You might remember—Trump's sentencing came just ten days before his second presidential inauguration. The judge, addressing the unprecedented nature of the situation, issued an unconditional discharge. What that meant: Trump avoided any prison time or fines, but the conviction would stay with him. At his sentencing, Trump appeared via video, declaring he was treated, in his words, “very, very unfairly,” and vowing to appeal.Fast forward to just this month. Trump's lawyers found themselves back in a federal appeals court in Manhattan, arguing that not just Trump but any current or former federal official should be able to move state criminal prosecutions to federal court under an old law—one that legal experts say is rarely used and not likely to win the day. At stake, beyond Trump's own fate, is the question of how much leeway federal officers might have to shield themselves from state prosecution. The appeal is before a three-judge panel—two judges appointed by Barack Obama, one by Joe Biden—so politics, as always, looms large in the background, though the law is front and center.While that hush money conviction appeal is a major focus, it's just one item on Trump's packed legal calendar. His team has also filed a notice of appeal with New York's mid-level appeals court, but those proceedings haven't begun. In addition, the lingering aftershocks of his classified documents case in Florida continue, as does litigation from the sprawling civil fraud case in New York involving the Trump Organization and its financial practices. And even in Georgia, issues over state versus federal jurisdiction have made their way up to the Supreme Court.All this is happening while Trump, despite all legal headwinds, remains a dominant presence on the political landscape. His legal strategy appears to be one of exhausting every avenue of appeal, filing motion after motion—sometimes with little chance of ultimate success, but each move buys time and keeps his case in the public eye.To sum it up: as we close out June 2025, Donald Trump's courtroom drama is far from over, with appeals in motion and an ever-shifting legal landscape. Thanks for tuning in—make sure to check back next week for more on this unfolding legal and political saga!

In 2017 the Mecham family decided to live in Manhattan for three months to experience the city, soak up the food and culture, and just have fun doing something different. While they were there they chose to maximize their opportunity to eat out -- Jesse went back and counted over 140 different establishments during that 90 day stay!   After that experiment, Jesse and the family decided to try the complete opposite. No eating out for 90 days. The result? They didn't really care about it much, and now the family rarely eats out. What the experience in Manhattan taught them was that, for them, eating out is about the experience. They like big, "journal worthy" meals. Day to day eating out at average restaurants just doesn't hold much appeal.   They only know this because they have examined their priorities and tested things out. Jesse encourages you to do the same -- question why you do what you do, and try to live differently for a little while. You may find, like many, many YNAB'ers before you, that eating out is not as much of a priority as you were making it!     Watch The Jesse Mecham Show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jessemechamshow   Got a question for Jesse?

A bold, minimalist blend of bourbon, coffee liqueur, and orange bitters, The Revolver looks like a Manhattan, leans like an Old Fashioned, and tastes like neither. Created by Jon Santer in the early 2000's, it proved to be a slow burn at first but it's since gone on to become a heavyweight among modern classics, featured on menus around the world. Listen on to hear how it all unfolded from Jon Santer himself, including how a debate with jazz musicians would inspire the Revolver's name; how an act of resistance against the local cocktail movement of the time would influence its composition; and how a flaming orange coin tied everything together. Oh, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts! Jon Santer's Revolver Recipe - 2 ounces Bulleit bourbon or rye - ½ ounce Tia Maria coffee liqueur - 4 dashes "Feegan's" orange bitters (2:1 blend of Regan's to Fee Brothers) - Garnish: Orange coin Directions 1. Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice and stir until well chilled. 2. Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass pulled straight from the freezer. 3. Flame an orange coin over the top using a match then discard.

After spending two years in forced isolation on a remote island in the East River, Mary Mallon fought back, insisting that she posed no danger to the public and city officials had overstepped their authority in keeping her against her will. She finally managed to secure her freedom after pledging to leave the profession of cooking for good in order to keep the public safe.But over the next several years health officials struggled to keep track of Mary's whereabouts, along with hundreds of other “healthy carriers” of typhoid in New York just like her. She eventually slipped out of sight. Then a deadly outbreak of typhoid struck a maternity hospital in Manhattan, and Health officials were back on the hunt.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Giving up on perfection, for one thing, says Sarah Schulman, author of “Conflict is Not Abuse,” and so much more. Award-winning writer, teacher, playwright and activist, Schulman's latest book is “The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity”, in which she reflects on years of experiments and learning, from the 1980s to today.

With a commanding lead in the Democratic Primary, Zohran Mamdani says he's now focusing his attention on New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Also, a slate of recently announced developments will create more than 700 affordable units in Coney Island. Plus, the MTA is making a small tweak to two lines that could bring big changes to riders. Meanwhile, residents in a small Queens neighborhood are in a battle over air quality. And finally, a new book dives into the stories behind thirty monuments and statues commemorating Black Americans around New York City.

Zohran Mamdani is commanding a significant lead in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, as votes continue to be counted from yesterday's election. Meanwhile, state officials are warning that air quality will be compromised across New York on Wednesday due to elevated ozone Plus, in New Jersey, the State Fair Meadowlands will go dark for the next two summers. Organizers say the hiatus, prompted by World Cup events at MetLife Stadium, will allow them to “re-imagine” the fair before it returns in 2027.

It's been another whirlwind week in the courts when it comes to Donald Trump and his ongoing legal battles. The spotlight right now is on his criminal conviction out of New York, the so-called hush money case that's become a fixture in headlines for more than a year. Let's get right into it: Trump, who was found guilty last year on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide a payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, is now pressing hard to have that conviction erased. Just this month, his legal team was back before a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan. Their main argument is that the case should never have been handled by a state court in the first place. They're relying on an old, rarely used statute to try and move the whole thing to federal court—hoping that a federal bench might be more favorable, or at least that the whole process could get bogged down in even more appeals.Trump himself was not present for the hearing. But he's been anything but silent, maintaining through virtual appearances and statements to the press that he's innocent, and that the legal system has treated him unfairly from the start. Worth noting, though: ten days before Trump was sworn in for his second term, he was sentenced in New York. The judge gave what's known as an unconditional discharge—so no fines, no jail time, but the conviction remains on his record. The rationale from the court was clear; any harsher punishment would encroach on the presidency, and that's something the courts are entering with extreme caution.These aren't the only courtroom dramas involving Trump right now. A recent case at the Supreme Court saw his administration win a pair of crucial victories related to government data and access. On top of that, just this week, the Trump administration accused a district court of openly defying a Supreme Court order over the deportation of immigrants—a stark sign of just how fraught and contentious the legal landscape remains around anything Trump touches, even as president again.Legal scholars say that the strategy his attorneys are using in the appeal, especially trying to broaden the reach of the Federal Officer Removal Statute, could have consequences far beyond just Trump, potentially shifting how future presidents and federal officials are treated in the courts.With all these moving parts, from hearings in Manhattan to wrangling at the Supreme Court and legal fights over immigration policy, the Trump legal saga continues to evolve at a dizzying pace. Thanks for tuning in and following along as we track these developments. Make sure to join us next week for more updates on the court cases and political headlines that are shaping the nation.

On today's podcast: 1) Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded to his upstart rival Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary in the race to become mayor of New York City after the 33-year-old Queens lawmaker racked up commanding leads across Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. 2) US President Donald Trump disputed an intelligence report that found the airstrikes he ordered on Iran had only a limited impact on its nuclear program, even though the assessment came from the Pentagon. 3) NATO leaders sought to project confidence that the US will defend allies after President Donald Trump fueled doubts about his administration’s continued commitment to crucial collective obligations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

World War III is canceled — at least for now. That's where we are after one of the most dramatic weeks I can remember. The United States bombed Iran's nuclear facilities. Israel followed up with its own strikes. Iran responded with missile attacks on CENTCOM in Qatar. And somehow, through all that, we've landed at a ceasefire. It felt like this was going to spiral — like this was going to be Qasem Soleimani times ten. Instead, it fizzled. Iran's missile strikes were calibrated, coordinated with the Qataris, coordinated even with us. They hit the sand, not American soldiers. It was more about sending a message back home than actually escalating the conflict.And that's the strange brilliance of it all. Trump took the boldest action — destroying Iran's nuclear program — and managed to walk away looking like the peacemaker. The people who warned that this would unleash chaos — Tucker Carlson predicting tens of thousands of dead Americans, Steve Bannon talking about gas at $30 a gallon — they look like they overshot. Gas prices are lower. No Americans killed. And Trump's using this moment to reframe himself. He's not just the guy who kept his promise to stop Iran's nukes. He's the guy who did it without dragging America into another endless war. That's going to matter politically. It gives him an argument the MAGA base and the suburbs can both live with.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Israel's role here is important too. Make no mistake — this was their mission. They wanted Iran's nuclear capacity gone. Trump signed off on a limited U.S. role, but Rising Lion was an Israeli operation at its core. Their goal was never just to set the program back a few years. It was to shake the regime. You can see it in the name — Rising Lion, the symbol of Iran before the Islamic Revolution. They're trying to turn the clock back. And they knew this was their window. Iran's economy is fragile, its proxies are weakened, and Trump was willing to greenlight the hits. The question now is whether this creates the cracks in the regime they've been waiting for — or just rallies Iranians around the flag.The domestic political fallout has been fascinating. Never Trump Republicans who've trashed Trump for years — Bolton, Christie, Kinzinger, even Jeb Bush — lined up to praise him. And that's made MAGA a little uneasy. They didn't sign up for regime change wars. They signed up for America First. And now they're watching Trump get applause from the same people who cheered on Iraq. Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to resurrect the war powers debate, framing this as executive overreach. It's the rare moment where anti-war Republicans and Democrats are kind of saying the same thing. But for now, Trump's riding high. He promised strength without entanglement — and for the moment, he's delivered.The NYC Mayoral Primary: Cuomo Stumbles, Mamdani SurgesOver in New York City, the Democratic mayoral primary has become the most interesting race in the country. Andrew Cuomo should have been cruising. He had the name recognition, the machine, the donor network. But his campaign has been a disaster. He looks old, angry, and out of step. His message is all negative — all about why Mamdani is dangerous, not why Cuomo is right for the job. And the voters can feel that. It's a re-run of 2021 for Cuomo: defensive, brittle, uninspired. Meanwhile, Mamdani is doing what progressives often struggle to do. He's selling a vision. He's making people feel like the future could actually look different.Mamdani's campaign has been relentless. He turned a 14-mile walk from the bottom to the top of Manhattan into a social media juggernaut. TikToks. Instagram reels. Everywhere you look, there's Mamdani, talking to voters, talking about his ideas, looking like he actually wants the job. His policy platform is ambitious — some would say reckless — rent freezes, city-owned grocery stores, free public transit. But it's positive. He's offering something, not just fighting against something. That matters, especially in a city where voters are tired of politics as usual.The ranked choice system adds another layer of drama. Mamdani doesn't have to win outright on the first round. He just has to stay close enough that the second- and third-choice votes break his way. And given how much Cuomo is disliked even by his own side, that's very possible. The big donors are starting to notice. If Mamdani wins the primary, they'll flood Eric Adams with money for the general. They'll do it out of fear — fear that a Mamdani mayoralty would upend the city's power structures in ways they can't predict or control. And they're probably right.But even if Mamdani falls short, this race is a marker for where the Democratic Party is going. The fact that he got this far, this fast, tells you something about the appetite for progressive politics in urban America. Cuomo thought he could coast on his name and his record. Instead, he's found himself outworked, outmessaged, and outmaneuvered. And the rest of the party is watching. Because if Mamdani can do this in New York, somebody else can do it somewhere else. The future is up for grabs.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:39 - Iran-Israel Ceasefire00:17:53 - NYC Mayoral Primary00:28:00 - Update00:29:04 - Tariff Inflation00:31:18 - Big Beautiful Bill Voting00:34:48 - Trade Deals00:38:02 - Interview with Sam Feist01:11:11 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In March 2025, a professional photographer filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs in the New York State Supreme Court, alleging sexual battery. The plaintiff, identified as John Doe, claims that during a commercial shoot in late 2022 or early 2023, Combs invited him into his trailer under the pretense of discussing career opportunities. Once inside, Combs allegedly pressured Doe to engage in sexual acts, suggesting that compliance would advance his career. The lawsuit details that after Doe refused, Combs threatened him with physical violence and expelled him from the trailer. Doe asserts that he returned to work, grappling with the trauma of the encounter.Combs' legal team has denied the allegations, stating that he has "never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor." They assert confidence in the judicial process and anticipate prevailing in court. This lawsuit adds to a series of legal challenges Combs faces, including multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and assault spanning several decades. As of now, Combs remains incarcerated on unrelated charges, with a trial set for May 2025.On March 14, 2025, Sean "Diddy" Combs appeared in Manhattan federal court, pleading not guilty to a superseding indictment that expands previous charges to include allegations of forced labor. Prosecutors assert that between 2004 and 2024, Combs exploited his business empire to coerce employees into grueling work conditions and threatened those who resisted, as part of a broader sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.During the hearing, Combs, 55, appeared with noticeable physical changes, sporting gray hair and a beard. The court discussed the admissibility of a hotel surveillance video from 2016, allegedly showing Combs assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. His defense contends the footage is misleading and manipulated. Combs has been detained without bail since his September 2024 arrest, with his trial scheduled to commence on May 5, 2025.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
