Host Sam Roberts speaks with Kathy Wylde, outgoing head of the Partnership for New York City, about the business community’s hopes and concerns as a new generation vies to take NYC’s reins. Sam then welcomes Jonathan Mahler, bestselling author and NYT Magazine writer, to discuss his new book, "Gods of New York," and the enduring lessons from NYC's dramatic transformation in the 1980s . Join us for candid analysis of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's agenda, the city's fiscal future, and how New York's powerbrokers shaped and continue to shape its destiny. We dive into what’s at stake for every New Yorker, whether you remember the highs and lows of the Koch, Giuliani, and Dinkins eras, or are wrestling with the city’s modern-day challenges.
