Diverse. Engaging. Timely.
Brilliantly produced podcast that doesn’t feel “produced”. I recommend! Great natural pacing with structured segments. Terrific guests - always diverse, engaging, and timely. Benton and Tristan have a wonderfully natural rapport that’s enjoyable to absorb. I appreciate the humility at which they approach each guest, welcoming earnest discussions, thought provoking questions, & all balanced with humor, humanity, and empathy. Great work gentlemen. Keep it up!

Friday doesn’t come fast enough.
These guys are mastering the art of discussing deep and relevant topics but all wrapped up in tasty conversational banter. A spoon full of Tristan and Benton makes the medicine go down. I’ve never looked forward to my medicine more. How about twice a week? Once a week my dog walk in the park has been sprinkled with out loud giggles, outrage, tears and hope. I’m really grateful. Not really a podcast guy. Checked it out to support you guys and fell in love. Hurry back for a second season.

Spoken words
Most of us are reading the news these days, but the vast majority of headline stories have the personality of a stale loaf of bread. Fortunately, hearing Tristan, Benton, and their guests engage in these topics adds a nuanced depth that is fresh, often unexpected, and so necessary.

here’s why
Relevant, endearing, and conscious This podcast is a love letter to the New York City of 2020 and beyond, to the beautifully diverse group of souls who cross paths during their time here, and to the lives we ACTUALLY live here. The conversations being had on this podcast are just like the ones I hear across the dinner table with friends throughout the city. Not presentational or shallow. Inclusive and thoughtful.

Love it
I really love this podcast. Tristan and Benton have a great dialogue and cultural commentary and ask thought provoking questions to each guest. Love the format, especially calling parents to fact check each interviee at the end. Would highly recommend! xoxo

Refreshing Candor and Dialogue
In a moment in which nuance is often trampled by divisive rhetoric and cancel culture, it’s refreshing to listen to an honest conversation- with hosts who don’t immediately claim to have all the answers yet choose to investigate complex topics with humor, curiosity, and campy joie de vivre.

Real ‘every day’ people speaking intelligently!
Smart and thought provoking topics. I’ve loved listening to this podcast grow more and more each week. The fraternal chemistry between the hosts add a lightness and fun humanity, even when tackling serious issues. Highly recommend!

The New York stories we need most right now
Why Here continues to remind me why I moved to the craziness of New York City, featuring stories and guests who do not shy away from the moment we’re living in today. At a time when broadway has gone dark and New York doesn’t feel like itself, Benton and Tristan continue to evoke a nostalgia for the city and an optimism around the resilience of NYC.

The voice
Benson is nearly a perfect human but he needs to find his neutral voice. “Demyandeeng” -Benson

Solid listen
I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is such a pleasant morning listen for me. Thoughtful, sometimes light hearted, sometimes really an intense inner look at yourself and the world which we choose to be apart of. I look forward to it every Friday.
