The Bowery Boys: New York City History

The tides of American history lead through the streets of New York City — from the huddled masses on Ellis Island to the sleazy theaters of 1970s Times Square. The elevated railroad to the Underground Railroad. Hamilton to Hammerstein! Greg and Tom explore more than 400 years of action-packed stories, featuring both classic and forgotten figures who have shaped the world.

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.

Bad layer

Would be great without the layer of electronic so-called "music" and constant noise things. It is all so unnecessary. Overused.
Wonderful, engaging show!

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!
I ❤️ Bowery Boys!

I’ve come back to this podcast off and on for many years now, often after making one of my regular NYC trips to see family or to just hit a show. Out of my entire fifty-mumble years of life, I’ve only ever lived in NYC for nine months (Kip’s Bay and Belmont), but I have past deep family roots there and remain fascinated by the City’s history. My recent trip to the Transit Museum just set off that fascination even more, so I’m back. Thank you for all you do. And thumbs-up on the episode about the Lenape!
Enchanting and Peaceful
