Episode 156: On New York City

About this episode

The hosts discuss Dr. Bourgeois' first trip to New York City, exploring its history and exciting elements.

Your two intrepid hosts explore Dr. Bourgeois' recent trip to the Big Apple - his very first trip there in his life. The hosts first tackle perceptions and Mr. Miller, of course, works in a little history to show how the city became what it is today. Then, Dr. Bourgeois explores the best, most exciting and most unexpected elements of the largest city in the United States. Towards the end, and because they can't help it, the two gentlemen tackle the things that give them pause about the exciting collection of five boroughs surrounded by the Hudson and East Rivers. It is what they like best - travel and experiences brought together. You will enjoy it.
