How to Speak New York and New Jersey

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 1, 2014

The WNYC data news team is launching an NYC pronunciation guide featuring the voices of WNYC hosts. We are joined by WNYC data news team reporter, Noah Veltman, to talk about the project. And The New York Times urban affairs correspondent Sam Roberts talks us through some hard-to-pronounce New York names while WNYC transportation reporter and Bogota native (that's buh-GOH-duh) Kate Hinds helps us through New Jersey.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
