This year's Gotham Book Prize was shared by Stories from the Tenants Downstairs by Sidik Fofana and The Sewing Girl's Tale by John Wood Sweet. In this special double episode, Bradley sits down with each of these great storytellers to explore their meticulous depictions of urban life.

This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
