Dad, nobody wants to listen to you about New York !

Hi. My name is Philip and I am the host of the Dad, nobody wants to listen to you podcast. I have lived and visited New York in each of the last four decades, and after my last trip in July 2023 to visit my son and family members, I was inspired to investigate some social issues from my perspective as an American - Englishman living in Germany, who has seen New York and America change more dramatically in the last ten years than the combined 40 years. I will be investigating some of the biggest issues facing New Yorkers and visitors to the Big Apple, such as Rents and accommodation, Drug policy in particular the consequences of the recent liberalisation of Canabis. I will find out what has happened to the subway system and why it is losing 500 million dollars a year to fare evasion. I will talk with those who know about the consequence of rampant gentrification, and spiralling living costs.  Homelessness, Healthcare, Crime and the environment.
 My son says "Get a grip Dad, nobody wants to listen to a white middle-aged man rant." Let’s prove him wrong shall we?
