The newest episode of the Untapped New York podcast, "How Long Does it Take to Become a New Yorker?" features guest host audio journalist Francisco Kilgore. Francisco is a more recent transplant to New York City who has spent many months investigating how long it takes to become a New Yorker. Everyone has a different take on this question. Earlier this year, our members were treated to a lively talk on the subject by the journalist Christina Hosten and Felix Zeltner, who wrote the Stadtnomaden about their experience living in a different New York City neighborhood each month for a year with their toddler in tow (also available as an audio book).
Similarly, Francisco went on the ground to interview everyone from his local bodega owner to experts in the city to find out an answer. You'll hear from Valerie Paley, Director of the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library at The New York Historical, architect Duane Blue Spruce, formerly with the National Museum of the American Indian in New York City, Tyler Anbinder, former chair of the History Department at George Washington University, and many more.
