Show notes
Mandy and David cross the river for Brooklyn... Together with producer Grace Hills, we trace 400 years of Brooklyn—from the Lenape and six Dutch farming towns to the Battle of Brooklyn, redlining, the 1977 blackout, and beyond. Then award-winning journalist and author Carolyn Murnick (The Hot One), Mandy's collaborator on Blood on Their Hands, who knows the indie-bookstore network like a chef knows a farmers' market, walks us neighborhood by neighborhood through Brooklyn as a Bibliophile: Books Are Magic, Word Is Change, You & Me, brownstone jazz, and the writers who called these streets home.Plus the food, the hotels, and an honest reckoning with gentrification—and how to visit without making a working neighborhood's success harder.Learn More about Carolyn Murnick:carolynmurnick.com@cmurnickThe Hot One: A Memoir of Friendship, Sex, and MurderEpisode Resources:1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge & Akwaaba Mansion 🏨SUGARFISH 🍣 & The River Cafe 🧑🍳“Blood on Their Hands; and “The Hot Ones” 📚Learn more about the Lenape People - Pratt Institute 🌐Dive deeper in the Battle of Brooklyn 🌐Sources of Contamination of the Gowanus Canal 🌐“NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell” 🎬 & “Bushwick” with Brittany Snow 🍿“The Bosses of the Mafia Commission were Indicted 40 Years Ago” - The Mafia Museum 🌐Find more Famous Authors from Brooklyn 🌐Watch “How Crime Shows Undermine Your Empathy” & meet Carolyn Murnick ✍🏻The OpEd Project 📝Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Premium Members also get access to all new bonus episodes, video episodes, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.
