When our veteran DC podcaster Jim trades predictable Metro delays for mysterious subway odors, what follows is a tale of cultural awakening, neighborly surprises and at least one unauthorized furry tenant. Join us for this special episode where we turn the tables on our regular co-host and explore what happens when you decide to reinvent yourself in the city that never sleeps—complete with broker fee battles, experimental Shakespeare and the ongoing debate about what exactly constitutes "South Slope." After all, nothing says "starting fresh" quite like losing your library books on the subway your first month in town.
