Episode 1: Bedlam on Wheels – MTA Origins

For our first show, we’re going WAY back, to the dirty 1830s — we’ll track the shady sh*t going down in NYC politics that kept a 19th century Elon Musk from making a subway happen, get real about the pros and cons of horse-drawn mass transit, and learn all about the mysterious Subway Microbe that New Yorkers worried would kill them all.
