The Untapped New York Podcast
The Untapped New York Podcast is an award-winning podcast about New York City’s secrets, like how does a water tower work? Why does steam come out of the ground? Do alligators live in the subway? We impart our knowledge, interview experts, and in many cases, literally go behind the scenes. The Untapped New York Podcast was the 2025 GANYC Apple Award winner for Outstanding Achievement in NYC Radio Program or Podcast. Hosted by Michelle Young, founder, and Justin Rivers, Chief Experience Officer, at Untapped New York.
