Hello, I'm Janae

Peaceful greetings, I'm Janae Pierre, a  journalist and podcast host based in Brooklyn, New York. I currently host NYC Now, a daily news podcast unpacking the top news stories in New York City and the surrounding region. When I'm not behind the mic, sifting through news headlines, I'm playing tourist to the world...starting with New York City.

​

Born and raised in New Orleans, I have an adoration for good music, food, community and the arts. 

 

From news and politics to music, good eats, art exhibits and even shopping boutiques...I'm your source for information and culture. 

 

Where I'm from we like to say "Laissez les bon temps rouler," which means let the good times roll. And that's what I'm all about. Welcome!​
