Keys to the City with Anthony Weiner

Welcome to Keys to the City hosted by Anthony Weiner. A podcast about the problems facing New York City and the enduring power of ideas.
From existential threats to pet peeves, each week together we’ll resist the temptation to curse the darkness. Instead, we’ll try to light a candle by bringing to light things that have worked before or new ways to get things done.
So, if you find yourself muttering “there ought to be a law”; or “if only I were king for a day” or just something like “that’s been bugging me”, this show is for you.
Dropping every Thursday, Keys to the City will take on the big stuff like crime, education, and the environment.  But we will also ponder some interesting ways to make the city a bit cleaner, a tad more livable and just all around better.
So where are we gonna get these ideas? These little pearls that are going to be the foundation of the show? Well, to start with, you can be sure that Anthony is going to lean heavily on the two books of ideas that he wrote when he was running for Mayor. There are 125 in total and the can be found here. Not all of them are still current – giving every school kid a Kindle seems sort of dated – and some ideas have been adopted since Anthony wrote them (yep, we see you ranked choice voting) , but there is a lot of gold in them there hills.
Anthony will also look at what works in other places.  Sure New York is the best city in the world, but there is no shame in borrowing ideas from other, lesser places.
One other source of ideas with be the guests that will join Anthony from time to time to tell him the ideas are brilliant or that they just don’t add up.
Lawmakers, think tankers, or just regular folk who are uncommonly clever - there is no telling who will show up on Keys to the City
