Thank you.

A well-researched and well-sourced story that does something rather unique for a documentary about racism. It embraces the gray areas between opposing points of view. It’s also optimistic! The narrator is exceptional. Five episodes seemed to be the perfect length.

Enjoyed podcast!!

Mispronounced words throughout the episodes. Kihpa, Rebbe, Lubavitcher mispronounced first three episodes. Might be worth paying for, except you have to question question the amount of first hand research research done. Couldn’t have spoken to one Jew without learning the correct pronunciations BEFORE recording. So, without much research done, not sure if it’s journalism.

Amazingly one sided

This is one of those intriguing stories form contemporary history that is forgotten about outside of where it happened. The writers did a great job including the perspective of both sides. Easy-to-follow and sincere storytelling by the narrator. Loved it!

Enjoyed this series. Binged it over a couple days

As a native New Yorker raised in queens. That Jewish ambulance will not help non Jews they will let you bleed to death because they will not taint themselves with non Jewish blood. I once was lost in a Jewish neighborhood and no one would help me or speak to me because I am not Jewish. I was nothing but respectful but the Jewish community did not care because I am trash to them. This podcast was slightly more in defense of the Jewish community. It was not neutral at all.

I appreciated the host’s personal connections to the communities in conflict and how she didn’t seek to simplify it, but to share the variety of opinions. I understand more now than I previously did about the many layers to the conflict and learned so much about the role of the city in the lead up to and fall out from the riot. I look forward to more nuanced storytelling from the host!

The host, torn between two worlds an struggling with her identity, does a mediocre job producing this revisionist history. Her anti-police rhetoric on full display; she fails to address the root cause of the destructive conflict, and places the blame squarely at the feet of our protectors. “Love thy neighbor”, except if they wear a uniform.

The story was pretty interesting but it is REALLY hard to listen to this host.

This was a very informative podcast which told a story I’ve never heard of. Although the host did her best to tell an objective story, I somewhat felt her bias in favor of the Jewish community in my opinion

I am so sick of hearing the same adds for this show

The depth of the research, the profound empathy and heart in the storytelling, the embrace of nuance — I’m so glad THIS is how I’m learning the extensive history of this neighborhood. I’ve been telling everyone I know to listen.

As soon as I saw the advertisement for the podcast I stopped and started to listen since I live in the crown heights community and always wondered what the other side felt. I feel like the opportunity was missed on truly representing the hassidik side of the story and how they feel and live which can bring an understanding to the hassidik fears and way of life.

As a NYer for all my life (I’m in my late 30s), I never knew the full story of what transpired in Crown Heights in 1991. I have family in Crown Heights and spent most of my adolescent life there growing up with my aunts, uncles, and cousins in Crown Heights and I would always ask about the tension in the community and it was always brushed off with the notion that the black community and Jewish community just do not “mesh”. After listening to this great podcast, I feel as though I finally have the context. Additionally, I was shocked when I attempted to do my own research at how scarce the information is regarding this sad tragic event in NY history. Almost as though there was a rug that it was nicely swept under. Collier Meyerson impressed me with not only the informative information but the relation to her own experience and personal life. I will definitely be on the look out from more from her as my only complaint is I wanted to hear and learn more! Collier Meyerson you have a new fan in me and I will be on the lookout for not only more podcast but any appearances you may have because I just have so much more I want to learn and ask from you!

Wonderful combination of personal connection and historical storytelling.

I’ve already listened to the whole series and was fascinated by it. I learned so much– it was a balanced, interesting, thoughtful, and expansive story. I appreciated how far back the series goes in history to contextualize the riot, and the present. Really great reporting and well told!

Collier Meyerson does a deep dive into these communities and gives each it's own chance to speak their truth. She's goes into essential histories of the two communities. Hoping all New Yorkers get a chance to listen.

Wonderfully researched! Thank you for telling this story with dining and sensitivity.

Intriguing and beautiful storytelling. Well researched and well made podcast. Gorgeous cover art too!

I’ve never heard such a compelling historical analysis that can teach us so much about our current socio-political environment

What an incredible look into two distinct communities and what it means to be a neighbor.

A brilliant podcast, I am so excited for the rest of the season.

Unique perspective, great storytelling

Collier Meyerson is a beautiful storyteller.

Motivated to listen, understand and continue doing the work of addressing bias across the board. Congratulations Collier Meyerson on a story we all need to know more about. Brave step Sis❣️ - 💙 Just a girl from Queens 👑 💚tlc…

And host is spectacular too.
