I find it disconcerting that while Greer is consistent in her outlook, Seigel seems to really tamp down his opinions (compared to published pieces) and rarely challenges her opinion or substantiates alternate perspectives.

Been enjoying this show for a few years now but the reflexive apologia whenever Eric Adams does something obviously stupid or obviously corrupt (or both!) is getting to be a bit much.

gaslighting. Sad to hear gaslighting on The City podcast. Stop telling us to settle down about Eric Adams when everything he does stinks like a republican. Every Mayor DOES NOT say “we need prayer in schools”. No other NYC mayor has said that. I could go on and on and on…

Have been listening since day 1. I wish the hosts would admit to themselves they are actually quite conservative. They LOVE Eric Adams (claims he loves cities and Black folks despite also listing his pro-cop, austerity policies?), reflexively loathe the organized Left (Dr. Greer has mentioned...Read full review »

Chrissi cracks me up! Love her critical insights and the krazy way she expresses them. “Who’s checking for Tom Suaze?”

I listen every week to keep up to date on NYC politics. Hosts and guests keep it real and get into the weeds. Highly recommend for anyone who is personally or professionally interested in NYC or NYS politics.

Thank you for focusing on the intricacies of NYC with such tenacity and pluck. The recent show with the JBs was fantastic. I wish you’d do more shows with more than one legislators.

This is the best local New York City news podcast of all time. They really care about their city.

Love the content, the interviews, the topics. I don’t know why they do all these weird audio effects in the middle with cheap reverb and chorus effect... it definitely detracts and does not add. Stick to the great content guys!! You don’t need to try to glam it up. Great podcast though.

As someone who recently started getting interested in local politics (ULURP zoning, Community Boards, MTA funding, State politics) I had high hopes for FAQ. It’s mostly delivered but if I may offer two constructive feedback points 1. Get rid of the audio effects. Opening theme is cool but in...Read full review »

I love this show and I think it earns the 5 stars. But I would ask you to reconsider the sound effects that interrupt interviews and make things sound like morning commercial radio. Your knowledgeable and passionate hosts bring all the energy the show needs. And those drop-ins, sometimes put in...Read full review »

Thanks to the perspective this team brings to their coverage, I have never cared so much about an AG race in a state I haven't lived for more than a decade. I used to be a political reporter (in a much smaller place than New York City, but with a hyper-local focus), and the conversations my...Read full review »

If you live in NYC and care about stuff, you need this in your life.

Love this podcast. Makes me laugh and feel smarter about NYC politics. Wish it was more than once a week!

Amazing episode, finally news , real news that are explained and that you can trust. Very good and informative interview of mayor De Blasio.. Thank you for your work and research. And also, for giving us an opportunity to see behind the politic scene. Keep going.

Thrilled about this new resource for quality local news

Azi, Christina, and Harry are all veterans on the NY politics scene, and their institutional knowledge shines through in this fun, fast-paced podcast. Producer Alex weaves it all together beautifully. Am interested to see if it shapes up to be more for political novices looking to get informed or...Read full review »

This is a great source of local news. I find this podcast to also be very entertaining at the same time. Well done. Looking forward to hearing more.

Love this. I love the National stuff but it’s nice to have a Nyc centric show. They’re clearly the salt of the city.

Political insider baseball made understandable for someone who doesn’t even understand what a bunt is.

Fantastic show and brilliant topics. Exactly what NYC needs to hear!

You can trust Azi to answer the FAQs (and more) about NYC (and beyond)! -former Comm Dir of a LONGtime NYC Congressman

They know New York better than anyone else and break it down so beautifully. I look forward to it every week.

Love the content - but getting lots of skips and clipped audio. I appreciate all the special effects, but think you should concentrate on making sure the basic audio quality is there first

Fills a gap that’s been growing in NYC and New York State

I listened the podcast. It is refreshing to have a news which explains what is going on behind the scene. On tv, we hear always the same thing and it is tiring

Launching a podcast on NY news is a great idea. This trio of talented journalists brings a deap and complete analysis of the topic. It’s insightful, snappy and I am looking forward to the next episodes!

FAQNYC is a needed news source in NYC. Even if you know a lot or a little about local politics, FAQ will teach you something new!
Becky from Brooklyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/18
Ive been waiting for something like this. So much of NYC and Albany politics happens in back rooms and out of sight of public consciousness. Hopefully this podcast shines a light on how the most important city in the world runs. Credit to John Liu for being the first to step up to the plate and...Read full review »

With the local press slowly dying, FAQ NYC is a slickly produced much needed source of news.
