This week we come to you from Local, on Sullivan Street, to talk about the weird world of Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, why New Yorkers find DC strange, what unlikely friendships reveal about the world in 2025 and the unfortunate fact that people who take themselves seriously are twice as fun to make jokes about. Get in touch with any hatred, love, criticism, praise or (best of all) tips and questions. We’re just our first names at breakermedia.com. Also thank you! We know you have busy lives and we’re grateful for any time you choose to spend with us.

Breaker covers everything that comes through Manhattan - money, scandal, media, entertainment, technology, art, fashion, the deeply weird, in your inbox every week.

The podcast is our weekly venue for discussing and expanding on the stories we’ve broken in the last week. Expect exclusive insights, little scoops, meanderings, amazing guests, and a different iconic lower Manhattan venue every week.
