New Yorker of the Week

New Yorker of the Week

Every week, Hanna and Nora crown a New Yorker of the Week—a hidden gem of the city who deserves their rightful moment in the spotlight. Expect a short but essential interview with our newly minted royalty, plus plenty of classic Nora x Hanna chaos: the observations, the tangents, the unhinged-yet-deeply-necessary conversations you didn’t know you needed. If you’re confused, don’t worry—just listen, and you’ll get it.

Fire stars. Chains. Dual Axes. Pouring hot wax in your mouth. This week, we’re joined by Ram Belle—aka Christy—a NYC based performance artist whose work spans burlesque, fire manipulation, and LED flow. She’s been setting East Coast stages ablaze (literally) for over a decade, and we sat down to trace the spark all the way back to where it began.

We talk about her first time performing with fire (what goes through your head when you...

Who runs NYC? Some say the rats. Some say the real estate developers. Some say that one woman who sits outside T-mobile smoking a cig. But this week, we bow down to the real monarchs of the moment: King Beau Dega and Queen Virgo Rising, our New Yorker(s) of the Week.

On today's episode, we’re talking late-night lashes, early-morning meetings, and the commitment of gluing on a mustache before hitting the stage. We discuss the unspoke...

This week’s New Yorker of the Week? The radiant, risk-taking queen of Astoria herself: Jessie Jolles.

If you’ve ever spotted a curly-haired brunette strutting the streets in neon, feathers, faux fur, or anything that screams “YES,” chances are you’ve just witnessed Jessie in the wild. Miranda Priestly and Nigel? Sorry. Jessie is the fashion authority now.

But don’t get it twisted—Jessie’s not just a style icon. She’s a hilarious writ...

When we think New Yorker of the Week—actually, scratch that—New Yorker of the YEAR… one name comes to mind: Laurie Cooper. NYC royalty. Real estate legend. Martini-fueled dating guru.
You may recognize Laurie from The Real Housewives of New York City, where she helped Dorinda Medley list her Upper East Side apartment (because of course she did). Since then, she’s gone from luxury broker to viral TikTok icon, doling out dating advice...

Have you ever gone to Citi Field on a Saturday? Maybe you went for the Mets. But we went for Lola—the dog dressed as a Mets player who sits outside the stadium giving high fives like it’s her full-time job. A local legend. A paw-sitive icon (so sorry). The truest New Yorker of the Week.

You might be wondering, “How did you interview a dog?” Great question. But on this podcast, magic happens left and right. Lola is a certified staple...

There comes a time in every girl’s life when she realizes—wait a second—I’m becoming a woman. The evidence is everywhere! Take Miley Cyrus: one day, she’s Hannah Montana, the next, she’s lightly problematic, and before you know it, she’s a full-blown cover song sensation.

Now, you may be wondering: what does any of this have to do with this podcast? Excellent question. The answer? Everything and nothing. Because much like Miley, we—...

This episode is a revelation. Did you know some people actually keep their underwear on when trying on swimsuits at Old Navy? What is this, cautionDecorum

Also, is Justin Trudeau gay? He was spotted at a gay bar, so obviously, the scientific method points to yes. We will now be accepting this as fact with zero further research.

Do you follow your head or your heart? Or your dick? Your vagina? Are they all following you? Hard to know sometimes!

Today, we’re joined by the ridiculously funny comedian, writer, and actor, Drew Lausch. We’ll be honest—Drew has a way of making people way too comfortable, and this episode is no exception. Things get real, so if you're related to any of us… you might wanna sit this one out.

There once was a DJ in Hoboken—a simple man. Jewish, kind, and, most importantly, single. After 20 years of attending Jewish singles events with no luck, he finally said, F*ck it! I’m going to become the HOST!

And not just any host—he decided to run the ultimate Jewish singles event at the Marriott in Midtown on Saturday nights.

Fast forward, and Nora has found her way to this legendary gathering, with quite the story(ies) to share...

How many Obama-themed T-shirts do you own? Clinton? Bush? Biden?

Now, riddle me this—why do Trump supporters always seem to own a full Trump ensemble? Like head-to-toe commitment: the hat, the shirt (of course), but then a backpack? Trump sneakers? Earrings? Like, where do they even find Trump earrings?

Anyway, it’s post-Trump inauguration, and let’s just say we’re feeling... f*ck*** awful. But don’t worry, this Chirp isn’t just ab...

Who's in your orbit? Seriously, what does that even mean? Are we talking space? Metaphors? Climate change? Honestly, we’re not sure—but we do say "orbit" a lot in this episode, so it’s basically the theme.
This week, we get a little political as we recover from a tech meltdown at Studio 321. Topics include recycling, tech billionaires, NOT transforming our bodies, a heart necklace that’s just not doing its job, and, finally, the big...

Should men in Brooklyn be worried when their bi girlfriend might be into other women? We think so—because, let’s face it, girls are better than boys!
