Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani today announced the launch of “Talk With The People,” a new streaming series native to Twitch and simulcast across Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, Bluesky and podcast platforms — making him the first elected official in the United States to host a regularly recurring, interactive cross-platform stream.
In 1942, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia spoke directly to New Yorkers through his radio program “Talk to the People,” using the most cutting-edge technology of his era to break through traditional gatekeepers and connect with working people across the city. Today, Mayor Mamdani is building on that legacy for a new generation.
In an increasingly fragmented media landscape, “Talk With The People” is designed to make City government more accessible, transparent and responsive by meeting New Yorkers where they already are: online. Through streams and real-time audience questions, the series will create a direct line between City Hall and the people it serves, especially younger New Yorkers too often shut out of political conversation.
The series reflects Mayor Mamdani’s broader vision for a more open and participatory City government.
“With the launch of ‘Talk with the People,’ we’re bringing City Hall directly to the platforms where New Yorkers already spend their time,” said Mayor Mamdani. “By hosting the country’s first recurring cross-platform stream led by an elected official, where New Yorkers can ask questions live on Twitch, we’re opening up a new conversation between government and the people it serves, especially younger generations who have too often been ignored.”
Viewers will be able to submit questions for the Mayor through the Twitch Stream. Each episode will also be available afterward across social media platforms and podcast services.
