Brooklyn comedians Hanna Gerlander and Nora Fried spotlight a New Yorker of the Week and alternate between interviews and biweekly Just Us chats. Come for NYC stories, comedy, pop culture, and chaos. Smart, absurd, and weirdly heartfelt. If you’re confused, don’t worry. Just listen, and you’ll get it.
Wondering what’s in store for next year? Look no further. Today on New Yorker of the Week, we’re featuring the legendary Queen Virgo. In addition to being an iconic NYC drag artist, she’s also an astrologer and tarot card reader who knows exactly what 2026 has in store for every sign. Tune in as we go through each one and give you the TLDR on what’s going down for you next year.
Also, because the last Thursday of the month lands on ...
It is another Just Us episode and it has honestly been a minute since we were back in the studio (aka the kitchen). In true New Yorker of the Week fashion, the universe greeted our return by immediately crashing the video on our camera, so this week is audio only.
But hey another way of looking at it is in true NORA AND HANNA fashion, we will never give up and therefore here we are today with an incredible episode (audio only ).
We p...
At the Tompkins Square Park Dog Halloween Parade we met an absolute NYC icon named Drake, a woman so unmistakably New York she could have only been born of this city’s chaos and charm. What is more New York than wandering the streets, spotting the most fabulous stranger, and immediately interviewing her?
Then it got even better. Our friend was watching the pod and realized the iconic woman we met was the same person he had just sold...
Hello lovely listeners! Welcome back to paradise! Today on New Yorker of the Week it’s Just Us (you’re welcome!)
We’re talking enneagram scams, Hanna’s past gig as a puppeteer, a very long debrief of Jacob Elordi, and so much more nonsense.
Tune in and for the love of god SUBSCRIBE, RATE, AND SHARE THIS PODCAST WITH YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY OVER THANKSGIVING (with love!)
Also sorry if you thought by this title that Jacob was on the pod.....
Camile Taylor… where do we even begin. This woman has carried Flatbush Ave on her shoulders for more than twenty years. A true local legend. She works at a shipping company (name redacted for privacy!) and has witnessed every era, character, and moment this neighborhood has offered.
Tune in as we talk about life in NYC, what it means to be loved by everyone on the block, and all the little things that make Camile a true New York...
It’s a Just Us week and yes, Hanna and Nora showed up in matching puffy red coats. Coincidence? Cosmic alignment? Old Navy dreams? You decide. Tune in for another round of deeply necessary NYC observations, mildly chaotic tangents, and the kind of conversation that can only happen when two comedians accidentally dress like chic fire hydrants.

*We will preface this with you should really WATCH this episode, specifically at the part where we're at the parade. You can do so on Spotify or on Youtube! What a little Halloween treat! 🎃🎃🎃
You might be wondering, did we really just do a podcast episode where we interview a dog(s) again? Unfortunately, yes. That is the case. But! In our defense this was the annual NYC Halloween Costume Dog Parade and we simply couldn’t ...
Hanna’s tripping over things in her kitchen, Nora reveals what “she knows about the news”, and the girls spiral about the sudden wave of TikTok ads invading our feeds. Plus: an all-too-real NYC horror story involving an unsolicited hand job in a movie theater (yes, really) and a very important conversation about pets who talk on the phone.
Another week, another episode that could only happen in New York.

This week’s New Yorker of the Week is Simon Ban (aka @squids_ink, tattoo artist, co-owner, and resident artist at Estuary Tattoo in Brooklyn.
You know that guy in Bushwick who “wants to be a tattoo artist” but can’t make it to his Blank Street Coffee shift before noon? Simon is what happens when that guy actually follows through and gets really good at it. He’s one of the most talented (and, let’s be honest, hottest) tattoo artists ...

It’s a Just Us episode, which means Nora and Hanna are off the rails and in your ears. This week we eat candy in a so-called “ASMR” way, debate make up as an art form, revisit Hanna’s delightfully cooky church upbringing, map out the long list of hot Halloween parties we've have been invited to, and spiral over the emotional damage of spotting a bridesmaid in an Apple Watch. Plus, plenty more nonsense and New York neuroses you ...

On today’s New Yorker of the Week, it’s Just Us, Hanna and Nora, your two favorite funny NYC ladies.
This week: Lady Gaga’s superhuman stamina, why Midtown’s Sugarfish is somehow the city’s hottest club, the uncanny overlap between pedicures and haircuts, Nora’s growing animal-hoarding tendencies, and the heartbreaking moment we withdraw our support for Al Sharpton.

It’s a Just Us episode which means your funny NYC ladies are back and spiraling. Nora’s fresh off (we hate to say it) her summer Euro trip with some key observations: Germans don’t smile but their government actually cares about them, and she’s returned with a new puffy shirt from Lisbon that she’s proudly debuting in this episode. Catch it on YouTube if you dare.
Meanwhile Hanna is planning her Lady Gaga look, we plot to only book ...

It’s Just Us again, and we’re asking life’s most pressing questions: Do you follow Reverend Al Sharpton on Instagram? Who would you let suck your toes for $500?And should we be making our own oat milk, or should we leave that to the Amish and go with the Trader Joe’s brand instead? Spiraling has never felt so productive. Xxx
