AudioFiles: Scenes of the City

Do we even have to say it? There’s no place in the world like New York. This edition of AudioFiles looks at some of the city’s subcultures and the people who define them.

We explore the evolving world of hip-hop and travel back in time to when the East Village was defined by punk. We also hear from young Brooklyn skateboarders and learn how city parents are taking over Meetup.com.

There’s plenty more – including a performance by the Latin jazz band Los Hacheros.

Producer: Christine Streich
