In the inaugural episode of the podcast, Allison Zayas—a cultural connector whose journey spans New York City nightlife, hip-hop royalty, and Capitol Hill—sits down with longtime friend Jet Dilone for a candid and nostalgic conversation. The two rewind to the golden era of 1990s New York nightlife, sharing firsthand stories from legendary venues like The Tunnel, and moments alongside icons such as Bobby Brown, Tupac Shakur, LL Cool J, and The Notorious B.I.G. Allison reflects on her upbringing in Brooklyn, her rise within the hip-hop nightlife scene, and her personal experiences working and socializing within music industry circles, including her connection to Sean “Diddy” Combs and the cultural impact of his infamous New York and Hamptons parties. The episode blends memoir with cultural commentary as they transition into present-day conversations about race, identity, public backlash, including reactions to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, a broader discussion on Puerto Rican contributions to U.S. culture and military service and closes with excitement and anticipation for what’s to come in future installments of the podcast.
