34 Chapter One of the Book That Never Was

Scattered Curiosities

What happens when a podcaster is asked to turn the first season of his show into a book that does not get published? This episode happens. Chapter one sets the tone for Scattered Curiosities: The Book by utilizing material from our first “Tinysode” (New Yorkosities) and expanding it by a hexatruple and a Pizza Rat. A handy listen for navigating the acronymed neighborhoods: SoHo, NoHo, DUMBO, TriBeCa, NoLita, and the history behind the unabbreviated precincts of Manhattan. Discover where to find “des nudas”, Shorakkopoch Rock, Turtle Bay, Hell’s Kitchen and understand why New York City is called New Amsterdam. It is the prequel to chapter two, which happens to be episode one of Scattered Curiosities.
