This episode is a crash course into manhole covers 101 and why New Yorkers find them to be such curious objects. How many manhole covers are there in NYC? How are they made? Where do they lead to? Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s Chief Experience Officer, will be talking about his personal experience going down into a manhole. Lisa Frigand, the former Manager of Cultural Affairs at the NYC Department of Environmental Protection will also be joining us, along with Natasha Raheja, an anthropologist at Cornell University who made a film about manhole covers and how they’re made. By the end of this episode, you’ll also have the answer to that famous interview question, why are manhole covers round? The Untapped New York Podcast is produced by Untapped New York. Music by Kittens Ablaze ("Hotel Room", "Liarbird"), Absent Tiger ("Take it or Leave It"), and additional sounds by GoGo. New York City skyline in icon by Bernadette Moke, the Downtown Doodler.
