Over After Hours with Jamie Rubin: A Vital City Podcast

It's all bigger in New York City: personalities, problems, solutions. Jamie Rubin takes listeners behind the scenes for analysis, insight, and gossip with decision-makers and experts. From his wide-ranging experience on Wall Street, in City Hall, in Albany, and in Washington, D.C., Jamie knows how to ask the right people the toughest questions — on topics from housing to climate change to subway rats – and work with them in real time to identify solutions for NYC and beyond. A Vital City audio project. For more solutions-oriented thinking on urban life, visit the Vital City website at https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/.

The LIRR and the Lost Art of the Labor Fight

On this episode of After Hours, Jamie talks to Fred Naiden — Columbia grad, former TWU Local 100 motorman, Harvard PhD, and recently retired UNC classics professor — about his new book, Railroaded: A Motorman's Story of the New York City Subway. Recorded the day after the Long Island Rail Road went on strike and settled, Jamie and Fred discuss the 1980 subway strike, what it was really like to walk off the job, why working conditions mattered more than wages, and how the city's transit world has changed since the days of 15,000 subway crimes a year. Fred also offers a pointed assessment of Mayor Mamdani — through the lens of someone who learned organizing from a communist rent-strike leader known only as "The General."  Railroaded: A Motorman’s Story of the New York City Subway [https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/railroaded/9781978844094]   For more solutions-oriented thinking on urban life, visit the Vital City website at https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/

Lessons from Tokyo

For more solutions-oriented thinking on urban life, visit the Vital City website at https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/ Joe McReynolds has two jobs. By day, he's a national security analyst tracking Chinese information warfare. Nights and weekends, he's a Tokyo obsessive with a PhD in progress, a private digital library of hundreds of Japanese-language urban studies books, and a story about the time he frantically called his boss to manufacture an emergency just so he could fly to Tokyo and show Ezra Klein around. Jamie sits down with McReynolds to talk about what New York could actually learn from a city where you can open a bar in your living room for $2,000, health inspections happen every five to seven years, and grandmas sell homemade lunchboxes off folding tables without anyone hassling them. Also: public toilets, the 1961 down-zoning that broke everything, and why Joe is terrified about the short term but quietly hopeful about geoengineering.
