I’ve left big city life behind but look forward every Sunday to reading NYC residents’ contributions in NYTimes’ Metropolitan Diary. I’ll listen to podcast by Sarah anytime, but I’ve been especially looking forward to METRO. The first two episodes - knocked out of the park. Characters you could not make up, great story telling and highly recommended. Way to go, Sarah and team.
