Last week, we attended the launch of the new WNYC podcast, “There Goes the Neighborhood,” an in-depth eight-part series that looks into gentrification (or what we prefer to call “neighborhood change,”) in Brooklyn. Appropriately hosted on the border of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, two neighborhoods that have been feeling strong real-estate pressures in the last few years, the launch evening was structured as a series of conversations between a diverse group of panelists which included actress Martha Plimpton (who moved to Crown Heights after living her whole life around 100th Street in Manhattan) who conversed with Crown Heights-raised/East New York-residing rapper Dyme-A-Duzin.
