We’re queer, I’m new here

Onomatopoeia: Sounds like New York is a podcast about the people and places of New York City. In season 1, we see a psychic, do yoga in the park, tour the city on a boat and eat Russian dumplings in Brighton Beach. We’ll hear from a guy who plays at a showtunes-only piano bar, a lesbian priest who just moved to the city, a drag queen who teaches preschool, a master tap dancer, and more.
