2. The Bowery Boys

Website Apple Spotify
We started the podcast on a whim as a fun project during the summer of 2007. We both had some amateur radio experience in our past, and we'd talked for years about producing some sort of fun New York-related radio show. When Greg purchased a new laptop in 2007 that included 'Garage Band' (an audio editing program that makes podcast production possible), we decided to give it a whirl and recorded our first show with a cheap karaoke microphone that Tom pulled out of the closet.MORE Hosts Tom Meyers, Greg Young

7. Fun City Cinema

Website Spotify
'As you see, we're flying over an island. A city. A particular city. And this is a story of a number of people, and a story also of the city itself.'That's from the opening voice-over of the 1948 movie The Naked City, which was a very big deal when it was made, because it was a rare studio film that was shot entirely, lock stock and barrel, on the streets of New York City. You see, the American motion picture industry began in New York, at the end of the 19th century Thomas Edison and other early innovators had their laboratories here, and shot their early films in and around Manhattan.MORE Producer/Network Jason Bailey & Michael Hull
