The Hell Gate Podcast

In the aftermath of an ICE shooting and a litany of police blunders, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's allies on the left are calling on him to get rid of NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch once and for all. Will he do it? Not anytime soon.
Then, a much needed breakdown of another kind of controversy. The Hell Gate team provides an analysis of the epic struggle between Kelly Clarkson and a boutique curio shop over a $15,000 ($15 million?) automatonic singing bird.

Governor Kathy Hochul joins the Hell Gate Podcast for a very special episode filmed at the legendary downtown Irish pub T.J. Byrne's. As the governor faces re-election next month, we get her on the record about her reluctance to tax the rich, what can be done to close loopholes related to the Cornell 7 case, and whether she's moved leftward in her general election race. ALSO: We talk about her axe-throwing skills, why she wants young people to have a future in NY, and her message to Palestinian New Yorkers on October 7. Hosted on Acast.

Join us for a special bonus episode of the Hell Gate Podcast, where we crossover (get it? basketball??) with our friends at Defector's Nothing But Respect to discuss the ongoing WNBA playoffs and the imminent NBA season. Topics discussed include: how Eric Adams needs to go on Curious Mike, James Dolan's loathing of the city of New York and its talismanic basketball team, Max's proposal to save the Nets, and so much more. Big thanks to Patrick Redford and Harry Krinsky from Defector for joining us in Studio H! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This fall, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier will (almost certainly) be new members of Congress from New York City. We got them in the studio to talk about being a transplant, Latinidad, how the left can build power, what they said to Hakeem Jeffries, and whether they believe in aliens. These two are not very keen on labels like "the Squad," but we are nevertheless soft-launching "Clairializa," this week on the Hell Gate Podcast. Hosted on Acast.
