Podcasts about New Yorkers

For many New Yorkers—and visitors alike—New Year's Eve means gathering in Times Square, patiently counting down as the crystal-studded ball descends from the top of the former New York Times Building to mark the start of a new year. Yet the celebration's story runs far deeper than that single iconic moment. From how Times Square became the heart of the festivities to the ways its evolving character has shaped the city's most famous night, New York's New Year traditions are rich with history. Join Greg Young and Tom Meyers of The Bowery Boys Podcast as they journey back in time to explore these celebrations, including the origins of one of the city's oldest traditions—New York's Chinese New Year. Pop a bottle of bubbly and ring in the New Year with the Bowery Boys!

Fashion Week may spotlight bold heels, sculpted silhouettes, and statement accessories—but once the runway lights fade, a deeper question remains: what are these trends doing to our bodies?

After attending Fashion Week this year, Dr. McAllister shares eye-opening insights on how fashion choices—on the runway and in everyday life—affect posture, spinal alignment, breathing, and long-term health. From how high heels can dramatically increase spinal load, to the hidden strain caused by handbags and tight clothing, she explains how small, intentional adjustments can help anyone move with greater ease, confidence, and longevity. Blending real-world observations from conversations with New Yorkers during Fashion Week with practical, science-backed guidance, Dr. McAllister offers a fresh perspective at the intersection of style, whole-being health, and presence—proving that looking good doesn't have to come at the cost of feeling good.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time. 

Zohran Mamdani's Oval Office lovefest with Donald Trump was a dangerous legitimization of fascism, and has won New York no respite—as the city was targeted for ICE raids mere days later. These were happily met with a strong street response by progressive New Yorkers, and Zohran has reiterated his stance of non-cooperation with the federal police state. Meanwhile, the massacre of Jews one week ago in Sydney increases the pressure on Mamdani to walk the fine line between remaining true to his anti-Zionist principles on one hand, and acquiescing in anti-Semitism on the other. And his support for bulldozing the Elizabeth Street Garden (even after a deal to save it has been accepted by the incumbent administration), while failing to protest displacement of tenants from public housing projects slated for privatization, points to an accommodation with the pro-"development" consensus of the city's permanent government. On the final countdown to Mamdani's inauguration, the contradictions he faces are sharpening. In Episode 309 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg breaks it down.

In this episode, Kelly is joined by Hillary Wallace! She is the principal designer at her own firm: Simon-Wallace Design. And she pulls out all of the stops decorating her New York City home for the holidays.  Kelly starts the episode off by talking about the only way two true New Yorkers could meet: Yelling at each other from a window!  Hillary talks about where she was from and how from when she was young; she alwasy wanted to move to New York. She talks about growing up in LA in the 80's, moving to colorado, designing her own furniture as a side job and how that inspired her to go back to school for design.  Kelly then asks Hillary about her house, and Hillary tells the very roundabout story of how she and her husband came to find and buy the house. Hillary tells us all about decorating her house for the holidays. She goes over her schedule, talks about where she gets all of her resourses from, and how she goes from design idea to execution every single year. Kelly and Hillary then talk about the desings themselves. What they are, some absurd stories about them, and the ways that different people have been inspired or moved by them. Hillary talks about her design philosophy, and how she goes about meeting clients, and creating a lifestyle for them or meeting them in their lifestyle. Jae asks her about some other events around the city and the three talk about some of the various events you can do while around New York during the holiday season. Finally, Kelly asks Hillary about some of her New York City Essentials, like where she goes for inspiration, where her favorite shops are and how she likes to get around.  But above all else; Hillary Wallace is a New Yorker.  Kelly Kopp's Social Media:@NewYorkCityKopp Hillary Wallace's Social Media: @SimoneWallaceDesign Jae's Social Media @Studiojae170 Hosted by Kelly Kopp Executive Produced by Huston "Jae" Watson Chapters (00:00:00) - Meet The New Yorkers(00:02:37) - Jay Leno On Being A New Yorker(00:06:31) - Fuzzy the Mayor on New York(00:06:45) - In the Elevator With Sarah Silverman(00:09:39) - How to Make a Living Fixing Up Furniture(00:10:12) - Working at Ralph Lauren's Interior Design Department(00:13:43) - Simon Wallace on Starting a Design Studio(00:14:07) - The House That Made Me Happy(00:15:15) - Living In New York City(00:17:53) - The New York City Home That I Deserve(00:21:10) - Hillary Clinton Wins The Biggest Pumpkin Auction In The United States(00:23:48) - How Long Does It Take To Decorate Your Home?(00:27:41) - Happy Halloween!

New Yorkers have gotten around their cities by subways, buses, elevated trains, streetcars and ferries. And the ways in which they have paid for them have changed as well. And keeps changing!This month, the city is saying farewell to the MetroCard, the magnetic-stripe card that has gotten the town moving since the early 1990s. When the orange cards debuted, they replaced the strange physical tokens commuters had been using since 1953.Mass transit fares were also a key issue in the past New York mayoral race — and they've always been a key issue for voters since the late 19th century. That's part of the reason that fares famously remained five cents for decades. But as the subway system expanded, stretching through Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx, it soon became evident that it was becoming too expensive to operate.But changing the price is one thing; going from currency to token to MetroCard to OMNI (our latest method) requires technical modifications of every station in the system. In 1953, that entire system changed — literally overnight — to accommodate the first tokens.Jodi Shapiro of the New York Transit Museum joins the podcast to discuss the museum's latest exhibition, FAREwell MetroCard, which celebrates the newly retired fare system.This episode was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Each year in New York City, thousands of young people in foster care face a life-altering transition: aging out of the system at 18—or 21 if they opt in—often without stable housing, financial support, or guidance into adulthood.This week, Leslie speaks with Nancy Jarecki, longtime board member of New Yorkers for Children (NYFC), and Eyhdi (Eydi) Osorio, NYFC Scholar, Youth Advisory Board Vice President, and aspiring mental-health professional, about what it truly means to age out of foster care—and how targeted support can change a life's trajectory.Together, they explore the realities of aging out, the housing crisis facing foster youth, the critical role of emotional support and mentorship, and how NYFC builds community, confidence, and opportunity through programs like Career Choice, which funds trade and technical education and housing.

Mayor-elect Mamdani has taken the initiative of “schooling” illegal migrants on how to protect themselves from ICE and has vowed to fight for the rights of our “immigrant brothers and sisters.” However, it's crucial to recognize that he should also fight for the rights of all New Yorkers, including the members of HIS NYPD. ️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

This week, High Society Radio, Chris Faga and Chris Stanley, welcome back KP Burke (fresh off baby news!) and Robbie Bernstein from Part of the Problem for a perfect blend of politics, comedy, and complete nonsense. The guys talk predictive markets, CNN's weird love affair with Raytheon, and the Saudi GTA 6 project that might actually exist.

Amid the silly season of transition speculation, New Yorkers are waiting to see how Zohran Mamdani, a brilliant messenger, handles the levers of power and who else he's bringing inside of City Hall to help him run the huge machine. While those staffing decisions are playing out, slowly and behind closed doors, the outgoing administration is taking some swipes at Mamdani, including about the mayor elect's pledge to end homeless encampment sweeps. Episode hosted by Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel, and engineered by Noah Smith.

In this week's Gaslit Nation, Andrea and Kyiv-based journalist Terrell Starr discuss how American corporate oligarchs act like authoritarian regimes. It's a lot like Trump, Kushner, and their real estate buddy Steve Witkoff's plan to sell out Ukraine to Russia. Once again we're reminding you that the war against oligarchy here at home is global.  Amazon, one of the 37 donors who helped bankroll Trump's illegal and unnecessary ballroom, was exposed in an investigation by Rolling Stone for possibly causing a cancer cluster near one of its data centers in Oregon, an allegation the company denies, because they know, under Kremlin-backed mass-murdering Trump, escalating a war for oil in Venezuela, they will get away with it. This is the same Jeff Bezos who celebrated in the White House with Trump, Kushner, and the Saudis who murdered Washington Post writer and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi. Democracy doesn't just die in darkness; it dies under cheap gold fixtures and chandeliers. We also discuss why both Trump and Putin need a war in Venezuela to distract from their corruption at home, how oligarch ownership of the press continues to hollow it out, and how much more Americans can take of this abuse and gaslighting. And yet, amid all this lawlessness, democracy defenders around the world are fighting back. Bolsonaro's escape plan got foiled as he faces 27 years in prison, New Yorkers joined other American cities and towns in shutting down Trump's gestapo, and MAGA continue to be punished for voting for him–with a recent poll showing one in four Trump voters are disappointed or regret their vote. Join us for Gaslit Nation's bonus show out Thursday as we debate whether America is ready for a woman president–and how to stop Kushner and Ivanka from winning the MAGA succession war to install Ivanka with the help of their dictator friends.

Anna Kodé, reporter covering design and culture for the Real Estate section of The New York Times joins listeners to talk about the people left behind by our current "Tap-to-Pay society," and why they might still prefer to carry cash while out and about in New York City.

It's a News Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's Program: In the aftermath of the shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., the Trump administration seizes the opportunity to promote "remigration." When asked why Trump is blaming the D.C. shooting on the Biden administration, he lashes out and calls the reporter "stupid." Trump, or his ghost writer, posts a racist tirade on Thanksgiving. Tim Walz responds to the Truth Social post, saying it's yet another example proving Trump is mentally unwell and unfit to serve as president. Walz calls for the release of Trump's most recent MRI so the public can understand what is going on with the president's health. If you are in Tennessee's 7th Congressional district, make sure you get out and vote for Aftyn Behn. In the Fun Half: Senator Chris Van Hollen says that at best the U.S. has committed war crimes in the Caribbean and at worst just cold-blooded murder. Kristi Noem avoids answering questions from Kristen Welker about DHS promoting the white nationalist policy of "remigration". New Yorkers were tipped off about an ICE staging area in a Chinatown parking garage and quickly mobilized, storming the garage to protest and shut down the raid. Bill Maher is still very upset over Larry David's "My Dinner with Hitler" piece that was written over seven months ago. Crackpot Rob Dreher has a crackpot theory that JD Vance can lead the wayward white young men away from Nick Fuentes. JD Vance's "I hate Turkey" bombs in front of soldiers at Ft. Campbell on Thanksgiving All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.
