Okay, no, babe, we do not have Amaya from Love Island physically on this episode. She is still in the villa ironing her pajamas and finding love. But our New Yorker of the Week is spiritually Amaya Papaya, the radiant NYC force currently representing us on reality TV's most unhinged stage.

We’re obsessed. We’re inspired. We’re treating this as a manifestation episode. Amaya, call us when you're back. We love you!!

Tune in as we chat through:

• Our most New York moments of the week

• A full Amaya appreciation segment

• Why she’s already entered the canon of NYC legends

She’s not on the pod (yet), but her essence is everywhere.

This week on New Yorker of the Week, we’re celebrating Pride by chatting with the legendary New York City Gay Men’s Chorus. These guys are hilarious, heartfelt, and wildly committed to building community through song—and yes, they do sing Pink Pony Club for us at the end.

Come for the chorus, stay for the harmonies!!

HAPPY PRIDE NYC!

t’s Week 2 of New Yorker of the Week: “The World’s on Fire So We’re Getting Political for a Sec” Edition

This week’s honorary New Yorkers are two legends doing the lord’s work: Melissa Sáenz Gordon and Molly Salas, co-founders of @softpowervote.

Soft Power Vote is your go-to for actually clear, non-boring, deeply researched voting guides - made for New Yorkers who want to make informed choices but don't want to have 19 tabs open about the NYC Board of Elections. Right now they’re zeroed in on the mayoral race (same), and making sure voters feel confident, not confused.

We get into:

• Why voting shouldn’t feel like taking the SAT
• The absolute comedy that is Eric Adams’ public statements (funny? yes. fit to govern? absolutely not.)
• Why local elections matter even if you’ve emotionally disassociated from the federal government
• And how Melissa and Molly are making voting feel less like a chore and more like a power move

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a ballot, side-eyed a mayoral press conference, or just love to hear from badass New Yorkers doing something useful — this episode’s for you.
