Episode notes

I used to walk around and sing, you know, in my 20s in New York. And then I feel like that stopped. There was a sense of repression that came into the city in the 2000s. So on my bike, I would just sing. It was really wild. Would you feel inhibited to do it now? I like the city air. I like to drink of it. The more I know New York, the more I think of it. I happen to like... I love the sight and the sound and even the stink of it.

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.
