After 32 years in the anchor chair, Lewis Dodley announced in early May that he would be retiring from that role. As NY1’s nighttime anchor, he has brought his storytelling and iconic voice to New Yorkers for more than three decades. Through triumphs and tragedies and everything in between, generations of New Yorkers have relied on him each evening, as have his co-workers.

As we say goodbye to Lewis this week, we thought we would revisit an interview Pat Kiernan did with Lewis in November 2023, where they discuss how Lewis got into the business, where he finds inspiration and his hopes for the future of news.

Pat Kiernan has been a part of the morning routine of countless New Yorkers for more than 25 years. The journey from his early days in broadcasting to becoming the "Mornings On 1" anchor was both unpredictable and international.

On a very special episode of the "Crosstown" podcast, his longtime colleague Jamie Stelter turns the tables and asks Kiernan the questions. Learn about Kiernan's early days in media, his rather impressive film resume and who the most famous contact in his phone is.

For months, New York Rep. George Santos remained defiant and said he would stay in office despite uncovered lies, federal indictments and calls for resignation from both sides of the aisle. But last week, following a scathing report from the United States House Committee on Ethics that accused him of fraud, Santos said he wouldn't seek reelection. What made him change course? And will his colleagues vote him out before the next election? Anchor Pat Kiernan answers these questions with NY1 Managing Director of New York Politics Bob Hardt and Washington correspondent Kevin Frey.
