The top 10 neighbors of The Brian Lehrer Show span grocery delivery, civic institutions, arts venues, and media outlets — a cross-kind mix that reflects a distinctly New York City audience profile rather than a radio or podcast peer group.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.9651 to 0.9829, a band of less than two points, with no single neighbor pulling away from the rest. FreshDirect leads at 0.98, followed by Observer at 0.98 and New York Public Library at 0.98 — three entities from entirely different subcategories sitting within a fraction of each other. The Metropolitan Museum of Art (0.97) and NYC Ballet (0.97) extend the arts-and-institutions thread, while NYC Mayor's Office (0.97) and Vulture (0.97) add civic and media coverage. TheaterMania (0.97), Playwrights Horizons (0.97), and Intelligencer (0.97) round out a set that touches theater, political commentary, and arts criticism.
Not one other podcast or radio property appears in the top 10. The dominant subcategories are News Publishers (two entries), with the remaining eight slots distributed across Education, Non-Profit, Government, Destinations, Websites, Blogs, Grocery, and Other — a spread that points to a geographically concentrated, culturally engaged audience rather than one defined by the medium itself.
The flat shape and cross-kind composition together suggest this audience is organized around a place and a sensibility, not around a content format.
