The Bowery Boys: New York City History - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I can’t believe it took me 16 years to discover this podcast about one of my favorite topics: NYC! Nevertheless, I’m glad I’m here. I was inspired to search for a podcast about NYC history after getting my sightseeing guide license. In the two months I’ve been listening, I’ve devoured over 100 episodes, often listening to six or more back to back. Greg and Tom have great chemistry and passion for the subject, and their stories are easily digestible and offer incredible insights into this city that we love. I can’t wait to see them live this month!

if you love new york city this is a lovely set of stories about the people, neighborhoods and forces that created and move the city. well researched and good humored and enthusiastic, it focuses on the magic and energy of this city

Love this show. It’s my go-to podcast when I want something interesting but not stressful. The interaction between the two likable hosts keeps the show moving. I have recommended it to family and friends who now are devoted listeners as well. Looking forward to taking one of their NYC tours one day! Highly recommend!

The constant background music makes it hard to play at 1.25x, it sounds all choppy and weird. Overall It comes across as very scripted and poorly read by people who have no chemistry with each other. The content is fine, the delivery is really fake.
