Hello, I'm Janae

Peaceful greetings! I’m Janae Pierre, a journalist and podcast host based in Brooklyn, New York. I’m currently the host of NYC Now, a news podcast that breaks down the top stories shaping New York City and the surrounding region.

 

When I’m not behind the mic or digging through headlines, I’m playing tourist—starting right here in New York City.

 

Born and raised in New Orleans, I have a deep love for great music, good food, community, and the arts. From news and politics to music, must-try eats, art exhibits, and local boutiques, I’m your go-to source for information and culture.

​

Back home, we like to say “Laissez les bon temps rouler”—let the good times roll. That spirit guides everything I do. Welcome!
