There comes a time in every girl’s life when she realizes—wait a second—I’m becoming a woman. The evidence is everywhere! Take Miley Cyrus: one day, she’s Hannah Montana, the next, she’s lightly problematic, and before you know it, she’s a full-blown cover song sensation.

Now, you may be wondering: what does any of this have to do with this podcast? Excellent question. The answer? Everything and nothing. Because much like Miley, we—Hanna and Nora—have gone through a transformation of our own. High Heels and Punchlines? Dead. Gone. A relic of the past. But in its place? A shimmering, once-in-a-lifetime, cover-song-level reinvention:

Introducing… New Yorker of the Week.

Every week, we’ll be crowning one of our favorite overlooked New Yorkers—the hidden gems of this city—and treating them to their rightful moment in the spotlight. Expect a short but essential interview with our newly minted royalty, plus plenty of classic HHPL-style chatter: all things Nora x Hanna, chaos included.

If you’re confused—don’t worry. Just listen, and you’ll get it. And yes, this is an abrupt transition, but please, grant us grace. We’re artists. And sometimes, to create the masterpiece of a lifetime, you have to make an absolute mess first.
