Podcasts about New Yorkers

Bowling Green is best known today as the calming, flower-filled oasis in lower Manhattan, next to the decidedly less calming, lumbering sculpture Charging Bull, which is popular with tourists. But this peaceful park was once home to New York City's most infamous statue -- and the stage for America's first No Kings protest. In 1770, the old park became the home of a monumental statue of King George III on horseback, an ostentatious artifact meant to remind the rebellious colonists of just who was in charge. On July 9, 1776, following a reading of the freshly minted Declaration of Independence, angry New Yorkers violently pulled down that statue of King George and, as legend has it, rendered his body into bullets used in the battles of the Revolutionary War.  As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States, we also mark the 250th anniversary of this event — not a moment of jubilation and freedom, but of anger and uncertainty. The Declaration beautifully set down the words of independence. The tearing down of King George  made the same statement — in a far messier, more violent manner. In this episode, take a trip back to the city right before the war, when New York was split into those sympathetic to the Tories and those to the Sons of Liberty, an early organization dedicated to the liberty of the American colonies. PLUS: Find out where you can locate artifacts from this story throughout the city today. FEATURING: A young Alexander Hamilton, William Pitt the Elder, that rascal Cadwallader Colden and the enterprising ladies of the Wolcott household. This special episode is not a rerun! It's a riff on a 2020 Bowery Boys episode. It has been rewritten and rerecorded (including for video on YouTube) in honor of America 250, and newly produced and edited by Kieran Gannon.

A few weeks ago, “Cannonball” hosted its first live show at the 2026 Tribeca Festival. Wesley Morris thought to himself, “What could we talk about in front of a bunch of New Yorkers that would be interesting to them?” And then the answer came to him: New York movies! Movies about New York City. Joining him for the conversation is Cynthia Nixon, one of our great New Yorkers. She's made iconic work in the city (like, of course, “Sex and the City”) and is a fierce advocate for the TV and film industry to continue making work here. Also, no big deal, she ran for governor in 2018. Together, Wesley and Cynthia chat about three N.Y.C. movies of their choice: “Breakfast at Tiffany's,” “The Taking of Pelham 123" and “The Wiz.” Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

This summer, those values come to life through one of New York City's most iconic outdoor events.

You HAVE to see this — the women of "The View" just got the Karmelo Anthony stabbing case completely WRONG, and their race-baiting lies are blowing up in their faces! Pat Gray breaks down the shocking misinformation "The View" pushed about the Texas track meet murder for which Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years for stabbing Austin Metcalf. From claiming it wasn't a "jury of his peers" because there were no black jurors (a total myth — "jury of peers" means from the community, not by race) to lying about Anthony's weight being 130 pounds to falsely saying he was the "only black kid under the tent" — when multiple black witnesses actually testified against him. "The View" ignored the facts: Anthony was the aggressor, brought a knife, ignored repeated warnings to leave, and stabbed Metcalf in the heart over a shove. This isn't justice — it is anti-woke media spinning a clear murder case to divide Americans. We also cover: 29% of New Yorkers now admit they HATE how New York is going. James Talarico openly HATES Christianity. Have you seen the missing Texas giraffe? Lizzo's latest album, “Bitch,” completely flops — here's why. Pat gives a painful update on his home renovation (and it's not good). Drop your thoughts in the comments RIGHT NOW: Do you think "The View" is deliberately lying to push a race narrative? YES or NO? What shocked you most about the show's misinformation on the Karmelo Anthony case? Should shows like "The View" be held accountable for spreading false information? I read every single comment from fellow patriots like you — your voice matters in the fight for truth!

Brigid Bergin, WNYC's senior political correspondent and Michael Lange, New York City based writer, researcher, strategist, and political organizer, and Debralee Santos, editor-in-chief of The Manhattan Times and The Bronx Free Press, talk about the results from New York's primary election, especially the hotly-contested Congressional races. Plus, Congressional primary winners Claire Valdez and Brad Lander each call in for a few minutes to talk about why they think they won.  Photo: NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 23: One of the many signs throughout the polling sites informing voters where to go as New Yorkers head to the polls on Primary Day June 23, 2026 in New York City.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) was swept into office on the promise that "the warmth of collectivism" would make life better for New Yorkers. And after the repeated failures of the status quo, who can blame them for wanting to try something different? However, as libertarian gubernatorial candidate Larry Sharpe points out in his conversation with Matt Kibbe, Mamdani's answers to the very real problems facing New York are all the wrong ones. The kind of socialist central planning Mamdani advocates for has never worked in history, and it will not work now. There are actual solutions that could help restore the Big Apple to its former glory, but they involve empowering individuals, not imposing restrictions — like rent control and government-run grocery stores — from the top down.

Micah Loewinger, co-host of WNYC's On the Media, draws on his reporting from On the Media's series on FEMA to talk about the future of the agency, the Trump administration's new nominee to run it and how a weakened FEMA will affect New Yorkers just as the Atlantic hurricane season is beginning.

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin Breeze, your artificial intelligence meteorologist, bringing you real-time weather insights faster than a jet stream! Let's dive into today's New York City forecast, where the Big Apple's about to get a serious shower. Alright, so here's what's happening today. We've got a chance of showers this morning, but things are really going to pop off after two o'clock this afternoon. We're talking showers and possibly thunderstorms rolling through, with a high around seventy-five Fahrenheit. The wind is going to pick up from the southeast at eight to thirteen miles per hour. There's an eighty percent chance of precipitation, so definitely keep an umbrella handy. We could see between a quarter and half inch of rain, which isn't torrential, but it's enough to make you rethink that outdoor lunch plan. Tonight gets even spicier, folks. We're looking at showers and possibly thunderstorms continuing through the evening. The temperature is holding steady around seventy-two Fahrenheit, but here's where it gets wild: the south wind is going to gust up to thirty miles per hour. That's pretty breezy! And I've got to say, this is one situation where I won't be making a pun because these storms are no joke. We could see between half and three quarters of an inch of rainfall, so this system is definitely bringing some moisture to the city. Now let me break down the Weather Playbook real quick. We're dealing with what's called a low pressure system, and I am absolutely geeking out about this! Low pressure is basically like a vacuum in the atmosphere that sucks in air, and when air rises, it cools down and water vapor condenses. Boom, you get clouds and rain. It's like nature's own recycling system, and it's happening right here above Manhattan right now! Looking ahead, Tuesday morning might still have some showers before two o'clock, but then we clear out to partly sunny skies with a high near seventy-six. Wednesday is going to be absolutely gorgeous with sunny skies and a high around seventy-nine Fahrenheit. Thursday keeps that sunshine going with a high near seventy-eight. Friday brings another chance of showers and thunderstorms after two o'clock, with a fifty percent chance of precipitation. But then Saturday and Sunday? Pure magic! We're looking at mostly sunny skies with highs around eighty-one and eighty-two Fahrenheit respectively. So there you have it, New Yorkers! Buckle up for a wet couple of days, and then enjoy some absolutely beautiful weather heading into the weekend. Thanks for listening, and don't forget to subscribe to the podcast.

Just one year after Zohran Mamdani's rise to City Hall, New York City voters are headed into one of the most consequential primary elections of the 2026 cycle. With more than 200 offices on the ballot, the results could reveal whether the coalition that helped propel Mamdani to victory—a multiracial alliance of young voters, immigrants, and progressives—has the power to reshape New York politics for years to come. In this episode of The Margin, host Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Mitra Kalita, co-founder and CEO of URL Media, former Senior Vice President for News, Opinion and Programming at CNN Digital, and founder of Epicenter-NYC. Together, they unpack the races drawing national attention, the candidates aligned with—and challenging—the city's political establishment, and the growing influence of issues like immigration, affordability, and economic justice on local elections. They also explore what some are calling the "Mamdani Effect": the emergence of a new generation of candidates, a changing Democratic coalition, and whether New York's political transformation offers a roadmap for Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms and beyond. Topics include:• The candidates and races to watch in New York City's primary elections• Zohran Mamdani's endorsements and political influence• Immigration, affordability, and economic justice in local politics• The future of progressive politics in New York• What New York's elections could signal for Democrats nationwide Mitra Kalita is the co-founder and CEO of URL Media, a network of Black and Brown community news organizations. A veteran journalist and media executive, she previously served as Senior Vice President for News, Opinion and Programming at CNN Digital and has held leadership roles at The Wall Street Journal, Quartz, and the Los Angeles Times. She is also the founder of Epicenter-NYC, a community-driven local news outlet serving New Yorkers.

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin Breeze, your artificially intelligent meteorologist, and I process weather data faster than you can say humidity. Today in New York City, we're looking at mostly cloudy skies with a potential pop-up shower scenario—classic Big Apple Thursday energy. Let me break down today's forecast for you. We're starting off pretty nice with increasing clouds and a high near eighty Fahrenheit. There's only a twenty percent chance of showers after two o'clock, so your morning and early afternoon are looking solid. Light west winds between five and eight miles per hour mean we're not getting knocked around out there. Tonight, partly cloudy conditions with a low around sixty-seven. You could say things are really cooling down on us, and I'm not just being a flake about it. Now here's where things get spicy, folks. Monday is going to be your rainy day. We're talking showers developing before eleven in the morning, transitioning into thunderstorms between eleven and two, then the main event happens after two o'clock with showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. We could see between a quarter and half inch of rainfall, with a seventy percent chance of precipitation. Temperatures topping out near seventy-five Fahrenheit. Then Monday night gets intense with showers and thunderstorms continuing, rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible, and winds gusting up to twenty-three miles per hour. That's some serious weather coming our way, New Yorkers. Tuesday clears things out with showers mainly before eight in the morning, then partly sunny skies take over with a high near eighty. By Wednesday, we're looking absolutely gorgeous—sunny skies and eighty Fahrenheit. That's the kind of day you grab a coffee from your favorite bodega and spend time in Central Park. Here's your Weather Playbook moment. That Monday thunderstorm activity we're expecting? That's classic warm season convection. When we have warm, moist air near the surface and cooler air aloft, it creates instability in the atmosphere. That unstable air wants to rise rapidly, and boom, you get those towering thunderclouds that can produce intense rainfall and gusty winds. It's honestly the most exciting part of meteorology. Three day outlook: Monday brings seventy percent chance of showers and storms, Tuesday settles down to sixty percent chance mainly before eight in the morning, and Wednesday is your clear winner with sunny skies all day long.

A shooting in Times Square following the New York Knicks Championship Parade has reignited debate about public safety, gun-free zones, and the challenges facing the NYPD during large-scale events. On this episode of The Finest Unfiltered, John Macari and Marlon Bethel examine the shooting, the circumstances surrounding it, and what it reveals about crime, enforcement, deterrence, and the realities of policing one of the most heavily visited locations in the world.

New York City will be at the center of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States, thanks to the largest-ever flotilla of tall ships to sail into New York Harbor — a reminder of the city's storied maritime history. It will be like ghosts of the past returning from a long voyage. The parade of tall ships, known as Operation Sail, first assembled in New York waters for the 1964 World's Fair and later for the big U.S. Bicentennial of 1976. The city had a lot going on that year, most notably a financial crisis and a public spat with President Gerald Ford. But when television cameras turned to film the big event, they saw not just majestic ships, but a diverse array of New Yorkers, reinventing what it meant to be American. Tom and Greg are joined on this show by Captain Jonathan Boulware, the President and CEO of the South Street Seaport Museum, to discuss the Seaport's unique connection to Operation Sail and the museum's latest exhibition, The Promise of Liberty: Words That Shaped a Nation, which places the nation's most important documents in a unique waterfront context.

The New Yorker staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Louisa Thomas join Tyler Foggatt to discuss three recent collisions of sports and politics. Cunningham and Foggatt talk about President Donald Trump's appearance at a Knicks game during the team's championship run, which evoked a mixed reception from New Yorkers and complicated an otherwise celebratory week in the city. Then Fry and Foggatt discuss the U.F.C. fight that Trump hosted on the White House lawn—in celebration of America's two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary, and his own birthday—and how it merged the aesthetics and politics of Trump's second term. Finally, Thomas joins Foggatt to discuss the World Cup and how the Administration's immigration policies, the Iran war, and America's precarious standing on the international stage are impacting one of the world's premier sports and cultural events.Listen to Critics at Large wherever you get your podcasts.This week's reading: “Fight Night at the White House,” by Naomi Fry “Will Americans Start to Care About the World Cup Now?,” by Louisa Thomas “Lessons in Fanhood from the Knicks,” by Vinson Cunningham “Can the World Cup Transcend Donald Trump?,” by Ishaan Tharoor “The World Cup and the Changing Psyche of the Haitian Diaspora,” by Doreen St. Félix “How the Moroccan World Cup Team Became a Symbol of the Global South,” by Dan Greene The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with two extraordinary media leaders — Christy Tanner '99, the president and CEO of New York Public Radio, an iconic and 100-year-old center for local and global media, and Carroll Bogert, the CEO of The City Reporter, the independent newsroom founded in 2019 to cover breaking news, investigative, and service journalism in New York City. In this wide-ranging conversation, we hear from these industry veterans about their early callings as reporters, their respective careers as pioneers — one using journalism to hold power to account, one forging new business models in the face of technological transformation — and their thoughts about the challenges, and opportunities, of the current moment in New York and around the world. We start with Tanner and Bogert's gravitational pulls to journalism and the formative experiences as reporters that would shape their careers in media. Tanner explains how as a young girl, inspired by the likes of Nancy Drew and Nellie Bly, the ability to "ask questions, investigate things, find out what's going on," and the creative process of writing "captured my imagination." Her first jobs at the AP and in local newsrooms in South Carolina and Tennessee taught her how investigative reporting could have tangible impact, prompting changes in government policies. For Bogert, a member of the generation of idealists who grew up on "Woodward and Bernstein and All the President's Men," journalism was "something noble… and world changing:" a way to "uncover abuse at the top and change history." As a foreign correspondent for Newsweek, she would chronicle the Tiananmen Square crackdown and the fall of the Soviet Union. As the industry evolved, so too did their respective paths. Bogert would go on to leadership roles at Human Rights Watch and as the founding president of The Marshall Project, a nonprofit news organization covering criminal justice in the United States. "The though line," she says, is that "challenging the abuse of power is the essential role of journalism. Power requires constant vigilance because it will trend towards abuse if it's not watched." Tanner, whose experiences included hosting a kind of proto-podcast in the mid-1990s, saw early on that "the internet was going to change media forever." Back in New York, she had a "front row seat to the invention of streaming as we know it" — newspapers, magazines, television, audio — and would become a leader in the digital transformation of legacy media companies like The Washington Post, Reed Elsevier, TV Guide, and CBS.  While both new in their current seats, Tanner and Bogert bring their expertise as seasoned industry leaders — and New Yorkers – to the roles. Tanner notes that while NYPR has grown into a multiplatform organization with radio (WNYC, WQXR), digital news, and podcasts with significant national and global reach, its local resonance with New Yorkers is remarkably strong. Bogert explains that at "this historical moment," when investigative newsrooms are disappearing, "local media is where it's at." She believes that the independence of nonprofit media organizations gives them "a particularly special role" to hold political leaders accountable and to rebuild trust in media. While acknowledging any number of challenges — in the industry, in a fraught political environment — Tanner and Bogert are optimistic: about the opportunities for organizations like theirs to collaborate, to "share best practices," to develop more sustainable business models, and to cultivate greater understanding of the need of philanthropy to support media as a critical pillar of our civic infrastructure.

We started the show with Boomer wondering how things will go when James Dolan tells the team they are going to the White House.

Boomer kicks off the show wondering how James Dolan will handle sending the Knicks to the White House, right before we dive into Sunday's White House lawn UFC event. Gio predicts the chaos of Thursday's Knicks parade, and Jerry's update delivers Dolan's pre-playoff audio. Next, Kenyon Martin tells Jalen Brunson to ignore Becky Hammon, the Mets get shut out by the Reds, and Pete Crow-Armstrong hits for the cycle. We then hear Stephen A. Smith and Jay Williams rave about the White House UFC event, before wrapping the hour with J-Lo claiming true New Yorkers only come from the five boroughs.

The Knicks' championship hangover dominates the show as we tackle James Dolan's White House dilemma, Mikal Bridges' tequila-fueled Coldplay celebrations, and OG Anunoby completely spacing out on Good Morning America. We debate if the Jets are New York's last impossible team to fix, while checking in on the Mets' brutal 12-0 blowout that had Carlos Mendoza sprinting through his postgame presser. Plus, we cover a little bit of everything—from a wild White House UFC event and Spurs handshake drama to James Harden's arrest, Shaun Morash dropping the Knicks' trophy cake, and World Cup roster rules—before wrapping up with JD Vance hitting The View and J-Lo gatekeeping true New Yorkers.

This is the 4:00 P.M. All Local update for June 16, 2026.

The Knicks finally did it. Bomani Jones reacts to the New York Knicks winning the NBA championship, Jalen Brunson's legendary 45-point closeout performance, and what this title means for New York City. Bo breaks down how Brunson cemented himself as the king of New York, why the Knicks' depth, conditioning, and maturity ultimately separated them from the Spurs, and how Mike Brown coached a championship-level series. Bomani also reflects on the unique relationship between the Knicks and New York City — from Madison Square Garden to the streets, bars, parks, and neighborhoods that turned this championship run into a citywide experience. Why does this title feel different from other championships? Why do the Knicks hit New Yorkers so deeply? And what does this moment say about basketball as theater, culture, and community? Plus, Bomani discusses the start of the World Cup, the excitement around the U.S. men's national team, and the experience of international fans discovering America through sports, road trips, Waffle House, Buc-ee's, and the South.

Opie is exhausted but absolutely fired up in this episode! After staying up late watching the Knicks get destroyed (thanks to the Trump Jinx?), he rants hard about how Trump turned Madison Square Garden into a maximum-security prison, shut down Midtown Manhattan, and forced fans to wait 4+ hours in the heat for a game they paid thousands for. From the insane presidential motorcade and empty avenues to the boos drowning out the national anthem, Opie calls it straight: "Trump is a selfish piece of sh*t" who doesn't care about regular New Yorkers. Plus Ron the Waiter is back with laughs, Knicks strategy breakdowns (Wembanyama terror, turnovers, refs), Opie's chaotic beach move day, raccoon problems, the tick-removal flamethrower fund, and classic Opie & Ron chaos.If you love raw, no-filter sports talk mixed with politics, NYC life, and comedy — this is the episode.
