New York

Mentioned 50 times across 35 podcasts this week

This Week's Pulse

New York has had a busy two weeks, marked by Governor Kathy Hochul urging the MTA and labor unions to resolve the LIRR strike, the launch of a $500,000 health insurance enrollment campaign, and the announcement of the 2026 Drama Desk Award winners. On the podcast front, the city's reputation is as polarizing as ever. During a discussion on sex offender density on Flagrant, host Andrew Schulz's crew poked fun at the city's absence from the top of the list, with one speaker noting, "I can't find New York on the list." Co-host Akaash Singh also brought up the city's darker undertones when discussing foreign espionage, asserting, "And you have them in New York."

For others, the city remains a magnet for ambition and memory. On SmartLess, guest Kareem Rahma recalled his migration to the East Coast, saying, "Oh, I'm gonna go to New York. I'm gonna get rich and famous," fifteen years ago. Scott Galloway took a similar walk down memory lane on Pivot, noting, "I moved to New York in two thousand." However, Galloway joked that keeping a home there has its costs, noting that when he visits, he'll "be, like, down two cashmere sweaters." Meanwhile, comedian Joe White repped the local grind on Kill Tony, telling the crowd, "I do standup all over New York. I have a weekly show in Brooklyn."

The city is also being evaluated on a global scale. On The Tim Dillon Show, host Tim Dillon compared London's staggering wealth to his home turf, describing London as "the financial capital that's halfway between New York and Asia." But sports are what really have locals on edge. On The Bill Simmons Podcast, analyst Zach Lowe previewed the Knicks' high-stakes postseason run, noting that he "will hopefully be there" for game one on Tuesday. Whether navigating transit strikes or playoff anxiety, the city continues to command the spotlight.
