Episode notes

Jeremiah Moss used to have a blog called Vanishing New York. In his new book, he gives us a first-person account of what the city was like during COVID. He also has new insights into what has happened to the city over the past few decades. And most importantly, he discovered that what he thought had vanished is still here.

Jeremiah Moss’s Feral City is much much more than a Covid memoir. In many ways it is a continuation of his desire to understand how and why New York city has changed, and if there is still a place for outsiders or if it now belongs to what he calls “the new people.” We walked around our Neighborhood together to talk about what the city was like during Covid time and what the phrase “go back to normal” really means.
