In a pre-internet world, the Village Voice was a newspaper like no other: a haven for writers about avant-garde arts, Black politics, queer identity and a million things more — and that’s after the pages devoted to exposing the seamy side of New York City politics. In this episode of FAQ NYC, guest host and executive editor of THE CITY Alyssa Katz, who worked at the Voice early in her career, interviews Tricia Romano, author of the new book “The Freaks Came Out to Write: The Definitive History of The Village Voice, the Radical Paper That Changed American Culture.”
