Where Does Upstate Begin? (Small Stakes, Big Opinions)

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Aug 28, 2023

What are we talking about when we talk about "upstate New York?" Turns out, it's a contentious question. Anything north of the Bronx? Does the lower Hudson Valley count? Or do you really have to get up past Albany before the real "upstate" begins? Listeners call in to share their thinking on this critical question, and Jon Campbell, Albany reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, will be on hand to help moderate the discussion.

This segment is guest hosted by Brigid Bergin.
