Meet the musicians, filmmakers, writers, theater makers, and artists of all stripes that make their home in what we call affectionately âUpstate Manhattanâ.

The On Air podcast showcases film, stage, music, visual artists and writers from Inwood and neighboring communities. The programming consists of two featured segments: Artist Spotlight and Live Nâ Local.
In Artist Spotlight segments we tell the stories of Inwood artists and creators recorded at beloved local haunts in the community. Hosted by Aaron Simms. In Live Nâ Local segments we interview Inwood musicians and provide an intimate platform to feature a live showcase of their work. Hosted by Aaron Simms and Jonathan Bell.

This is our 2025 On Air Live Nâ Local Seasonal Sampler â Volume 1.
Itâs where we take a pause at this midway point, look back at the first part of 2025, and chose to highlight a musical performance from each Live Nâ Local podcast that has appeared throughout the first half of the sixth season of our On Air podcast.
This Seasonal Sampler is less of a greatest hits, and more of a criticâs pick. A curated mixtape of clashing styles and diverse forms with one thing in common â they all hail from the musical melting pot of Northern Manhattan.
