Talking the Walk 2024: Sitting the Talk with J.D. Amato
Added 2024-12-21 05:00:04 +0000 UTCTALKING THE WALK has vanished (for now??). In its absence, the sittister new / old bit has risen from the ashes of its Empire and will not rest until Blankies everywhere, the real present-heads, have rejoiced.
J.D. Amato returns for his yearly catch-up episode. What even is this going to be? Tune in (sit down) and find out....
Topics include: Transit talk, urban spelunking, “The Decade of Dreams”, Myrtle Ave. crime report, a new Blank Check Challenge and more.
Journey begins at 20:56

2024-12-22 19:08:03 +0000 UTCSims giving a subway tour is one of the 3 best things you have ever done.
Andrew J. Eisenman
2024-12-22 17:07:26 +0000 UTCThey should introduce a new absurdly expensive patreon tier where the benefit is a new york subway tour with David
Owen Phillips

2024-12-22 02:08:18 +0000 UTCI request more David talking (taking) trains episodes! The addition of the sound of trains in the background to my favorite sound in the background podcast was A+ David's enthusiasm really cut through, too. This guy should be the Train Critic at the Atlantic!

2024-12-22 02:07:37 +0000 UTCAs Good As It Gets needs a redo. Was basically just a chat with Gethard about Star Wars ep.
