New York, I Love You But You've Changed is a podcast where long time New Yorkers from across the five boroughs give us their version of the city they love, discuss how it has evolved and share their thoughts on what we can do to make the greatest hometown in the world great for all of us. And we also have some fun with the pop culture associated with NYC. Our interviews seek to create an anthology of voices that represents the range of life that exists in New York City, especially those voices who are often left out of the narrative. Your host is Alexis Haut, a former NYC teacher living in Crown Heights. For more about the show, visit our website at www.newyorkilybyc.com or follow us @newyorkilybyc.
