Join myself and Julie Luna—potter, teacher, and entrepreneur—in exploring:

New York City's street level "steam-stacks": a common sight on the streets of Manhattan, these tall steam funnels can be observed venting steam from below ground into the atmosphere... but why? Why are they only in New York? What are they for, and what's producing the steam?

And,

Midday church bells: what's with all the gonging? When the city streets reverberate with the noontime percussive stylings of Big Bell, what are we really hearing? A call to prayer? Weddings services? A mode of creative expression for the Hunchback of St. Patrick's Cathedral?

Content warning: sporadic language.
