There Goes the Neighborhood

A podcast about how and why gentrification happens. Season 3, produced in partnership with WLRN, Miami’s public radio station, introduces us to “climate gentrification,” reporting about the ways climate change, and our adaption to it, may seriously intensify the affordable housing crisis in many cities. In many parts of the US, black communities were pushed to low-lying flood prone areas. As Nadege Green reports, in Miami, the opposite is true. Black communities were built on high elevation away from the coast. Now because of sea level rise that high land is in demand. WNYC Studios is a listener-supported producer of other leading podcasts including Radiolab, Snap Judgment, Death, Sex & Money, 2 Dope Queens and many others.© WNYC Studios Read More

Between Us

Almost 30 years together, four kids, and some of reality TV’s most unforgettable moments — Heather and Terry Dubrow know a thing or two about living life out loud.

But “Between Us” isn’t about perfect lighting or curated Instagram grids. It’s the unfiltered, behind-closed-doors conversations you wish you could eavesdrop on — equal parts smart, funny, and a little bit scandalous.

Every week, Heather brings her unapologetic take on the headlines, the trends, and the cultural moments everyone’s texting about. Terry delivers insider beauty, health, and wellness insights you won’t find on TikTok. Together, they’ll tell the stories, spill the secrets, and share the hacks that keep life, marriage, and everything in between feeling fresh and fun.

They may live in a gated community, but there’s zero gatekeeping here. Just champagne-fueled honesty, a little irreverence, and plenty of “Did they just say that?” moments.

Keep it Between Us. 

Bubbles optional.

Rationally Speaking Podcast

Rationally Speaking is the bi-weekly podcast of New York City Skeptics. Join host Julia Galef and guests as they explore the borderlands between reason and nonsense, likely from unlikely, and science from pseudoscience. Any topic is fair game as long as we can bring reason to bear upon it, with both a skeptical eye and a good dose of humor! We agree with the Marquis de Condorcet, who said that in an open society we ought to devote ourselves to "the tracking down of prejudices in the hiding places where priests, the schools, the government, and all long-established institutions had gathered and protected them."Rationally Speaking was co-created with Massimo Pigliucci, is produced by Benny Pollak, and is recorded in the heart of New York City's Greenwich Village.
