The Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and
Broadcasting is producing a series of podcast tours to highlight the rich and
fascinating history of film and television locations in New York City.
Downloadable for free from our website and narrated by some of the City’s most
notable figures in entertainment, these first two tours will focus on the film
and television scenes that were shot throughout Lower Manhattan. The tours will
offer insight into the significance of each location - for both New York
filmmaking and the city itself. Each approximately an hour in length, the tours
are designed to link together, so that they may be enjoyed separately or in
sequence. To learn more about the podcasts, click here.
