We both had some amateur radio experience in our past (Greg in college in Missouri and Tom in high school in Ohio), and we’d talked for years about producing some sort of fun New York-related radio show. </p> 606 607 608 609<p>When Greg purchased a new laptop in 2007 that included Garageband (an audio editing program that makes podcast production possible), we decided to give it a whirl and recorded our first show with a cheap karaoke microphone that Tom pulled out of the closet. (That show is no longer available due to serious quality concerns.)</p> 610 611 612 613<p>Seventeen years later we’re having more fun than ever recording episodes that help tell the fascinating story of New York. <span style="color: #993300;"><a style="color: #993300;" href="https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/bowery-boys-podcast">Read more about the show here</a>.</span></p> 614 615 616 617<p>If you enjoy the show, we encourage you to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys/posts">join us on Patreon</a>.

As a born and bred Noo Yawka, I couldn’t ask for a better collection of New York history. That said, I’m not really thrilled about the new page style. Navigation is too ponderous when compared with the old version. You mention using the the blog roll to visit other sites. Maybe because I can be dense at times, I don’t see any blog roll on the left. At least with the old layout, one could find everything easily with the absolute minimum of agita. The site archives also made it easy to navigate the site. I can’t say the same now. It’s a real PITA to have to click through page after page.
