The hosts also answer real estate questions from Brick Underground readers.

What’s it like to navigate New York City in a wheelchair? And what are the challenges for New Yorkers living with disabilities?
 
The Brick Underground’s late podcast host, Jhoanna Robledo, asked these questions in an interview with Victor Calise, New York’s Commissioner in the Mayor’s office for People with Disabilities.  It was her final episode, now posthumously released.

The Brick Underground podcast was created by our host, Editor-in-Chief, Jhoanna Robledo.  Jhoanna, who was full of life, died in July after a battle with a rare and aggressive cancer. She was 46 and is survived by her husband and 3 children.
 
Jhoanna was a remarkable and multi-talented person. She was an extraordinary writer, reporter and photographer with an expertise in New York City real estate.
 
But she was also a gifted audio storyteller. She started out in radio and was passionate about the podcast.  Jhoanna ensured that the show tackle important issues, including immigrant rights, along with how-to-guides about living well and surviving New York City real estate. 
 
When Jhoanna received her diagnosis, she was working on a podcast about how people with disabilities navigate New York City. Her final episode will post in September.
