    29 Jun 2026

    This week on NY Weekly Record, Michele Evans breaks down another chaotic week in New York City with independent reporting, sharp context, and the kind of public-interest questions official statements usually avoid.


    This episode covers:


    🎤 Taylor Swift, City Council, and a very wrong link

    A quick correction with a wink, because even independent journalists have tech gremlins.


    🚨 FBI searches and the NYPD brass problem

    Federal investigators are looking at NYPD promotions, power, and whether influence has been moving through the department the wrong way.


    ⚖️ Court delays and the human cost

    New York calls them delays. Survivors, defendants, families, and witnesses call them years of their lives.


    🧾 Harvey Weinstein charge dropped after accuser says she cannot endure more

    A victim-centered look at what it means when the system asks survivors to keep surviving the process.


    🚧 Nothing says true love like an NYPD street closure outside MSG

    Comic relief, city chaos, and one very New York love story involving traffic, security, and Madison Square Garden.


    Independent journalism. Public interest reporting. New York City, unfiltered.


    New episodes of New York Weekly Record drop Sundays at 6 PM Eastern.


    Hosted by Michele Evans.
