Podcast: Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD
Published On: Mon Sep 09 2024
Description: Before the NYPD existed, New Yorkers strongly opposed the idea of an armed police force – until a powerful news publisher changed everything. After a grisly murder takes place, the city’s newspapers sensationalize the story, blame the cops, and a new force is born. But will these cops work to solve the case or will they spend their days hunting something–or someone–else? From Wondery, Crooked Media and PushBlack.Empire City is made with a commitment to ensure the stories of those who were and are still impacted by the NYPD are always part of the stories we tell ourselves about the police, about America, and about democracy.Voices & References:Ed O’Donnell https://edwardtodonnell.com/Greg Young https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/about-usAlan Singer https://www.hofstra.edu/faculty-staff/faculty-profile.html?id=1412Wilbur Miller https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/history/people/_emeriti/miller.phpJon Wells https://www.jonathandanielwells.com/Mariame Kaba https://mariamekaba.com/The Bowery Boys podcast https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/bowery-boys-first/bowery-boys-podcastFollow Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD on the Wondery App or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
