It's a yuge week for New York with new guest host Katie Honan joining the pod and, oh yeah, Andrew Cuomo announcing his resignation. Plus, Afua Atta-Mensah considers the Black pols who agreed to let the governor use them as shields.

Long-ago Cuomo employee and long-time Cuomo critic Alexis Grenell joins FAQ for a look at how things fell apart for our Emmy-award winning governor.

With Sally Goldenberg of Politico NY

Photographer David Godlis and writer Luc Sante talk with Alex and Harry about Godlis Streets, his new book of 1970s street photography, and what was alluring about capturing glimpses of that city and the sometimes alluring "generalized small-time crumminess of so much of that decade."

Jazz and boxing great Charles Farrell visits the pod to talk with Harry and Tim Marchman about his memoir that covers, among other things, playing with Sonny Rollins and Ornette Coleman, fixing fights for the mob, "the Moby Dick of boxing" and lots more. Stick around to the end to hear him play a little piano, too.
