b'Eric Lach is a staff writer at\\xa0The New Yorker, where he covers New York. His latest article is\\xa0\\u201cThe Mayor and the Con Man.\\u201d\\n\\u201cI think about my own trajectory, my little generation of journalists\\u2014it was easier to get jobs reporting on national politics than to get a job reporting on something that you could see and go to and that is a really strange thing, the relief and the joy that I feel like when I can just take the subway twenty minutes to go see something interesting for a story or talk to somebody interesting or explore physically and not just feel like I\\u2019m making phone calls and Googling. It\\u2019s a very different kind of work, but it\\u2019s just not something that was super available.\\u201d\\nShow notes:\\n\\n@Eric Lach\\n\\nLach on Longform\\n\\nLach\\u2019s\\xa0New Yorker\\xa0archive\\n\\n08:00\\xa0"Eric Adams Says He Has Swagger.
