The Hell Gate Podcast

We break down the blue tsunami that swept over the country this week and what it might mean for New Yorkers like AOC, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries. Then, we subject ourselves to the pro-Trump rap album by New York's newest upstate congressmember. After all that, Holly chats with New York Focus's Sam Mellins, about his fantastic reporting on Carl Heastie, his love of sports, and his love of campaign donations. You can read Sam's full article here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Holly and Max are joined by left-whisperer and election-knower Michael Lange (The Narrative Wars) to preview Tuesday's general election. We discuss how much Kathy Hochul owes Zohran Mamdani, whether Dems have a shot in the North Country, and why some local races are way more interesting than you might think. Also, we name a bunch of towns and businesses in the Adirondacks to prove that we can. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on the podcast, we talk about how Nikole Hannah-Jones absolutely ripped into Mamdani's schools chancellor about segregation in our schools (although credit to Kamar Samuels who was nice enough to show up for this absolute demolishment). Then, we pivot and discuss the never-ending madness that are the Brooklyn Democrats. Also, a hot duck! And the Knicks are back! So is Max! Hosted on Acast.

In the aftermath of an ICE shooting and a litany of police blunders, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's allies on the left are calling on him to get rid of NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch once and for all. Will he do it? Not anytime soon.Then, a much needed breakdown of another kind of controversy. The Hell Gate team provides an analysis of the epic struggle between Kelly Clarkson and a boutique curio shop over a $15,000 ($15 million?) automatonic singing bird. Hosted on Acast.
