This week’s New Yorker of the Week is Carl Radke! For the few who don’t know, Carl is a key cast member of Bravo’s Summer House, and these days he’s channeling his energy into Soft Bar, a non-alcoholic bar in Greenpoint that’s reimagining what nightlife can look like without the hangover.

Carl joins us to talk about the leap from Hamptons reality TV to founding his own bar, building community through sobriety, training for the New York City Marathon, writing a book, and so much more! This boy will not stop and we love it!

Spoiler alert: We went to Soft Bar, and it rules, so definitely go check it out ASAP!

It’s a Just Us episode, which means Nora and Hanna are off the rails and in your ears. This week we eat candy in a so-called “ASMR” way, debate make up as an art form, revisit Hanna’s delightfully cooky church upbringing, map out the long list of hot Halloween parties we've have been invited to, and spiral over the emotional damage of spotting a bridesmaid in an Apple Watch. Plus, plenty more nonsense and New York neuroses you didn’t ask for but will absolutely enjoy.

This week’s New Yorker of the Week is Jess Rothschild, writer, producer, and professional documenter of New York’s most fascinating subcultures. Jess is the creator and executive producer of Cult of Body & Soul, the seven-part series that unpacks how SoulCycle went from sweaty spin class to full-blown cultural movement. She’s also behind Finding Fire Island, the lush docu-series on queer legends and lore from Cherry Grove to The Pines.

Since 2019, Jess has hosted Hot Takes & Deep Dives, a pop-culture feast featuring icons like Rosie O’Donnell, Sandra Bernhard, Fran Drescher, and Isaac Mizrahi. She even got her start as a founding writer for Autostraddle, the internet’s longest-running independent LGBT site.

Tune in as we talk cult workouts, queer icons, and what it means to tell the stories that make New York so perfectly New York.
