New Yorker(S) of the Week: Everyone Who Showed Up in NYC (and Our Sister City LA) to Protest ICE
from New Yorker of the Week · host Nora Fried and Hanna Gerlander
We’re pretty sure most of our listeners are New Yorkers—but when we first started this podcast (shoutout to the HHPL era), we had high hopes of breaking into middle America. Specifically, we imagined women with throw pillows that say things like “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my bottle of wine.” Or... wait, is that not quite it... sorry bad with expressions. You get the vibe though. That demographic.Anyway, assuming we haven’t quite won over the wine-mom crowd yet, this episode won’t be too shocking. But if we have—hey, welcome!—just a heads-up: we’re getting a little political this week. Our New Yorker(S) of the Week are the people protesting ICE around the city right now.And, fair warning, next week’s episode might also dip into politics. But look, the world’s kind of on fire and NYC’s got a lot going on—it would feel weird to ignore it while calling ourselves New Yorker of the Week, right?That said, we’re still us. Still comedians. Still finding a way to be funny, light, slightly unhinged, and fully inappropriate—because that’s what you came for.So with that: please show up for your communities. We love you, NYC. Always. <3Love us? Hate us?
