The Deep Cut
Hosted by Jack Langdon LIVE every Monday at 8:00am
Brooklyn is one of the most dynamic, diverse, and rapidly changing places in the world—yet local news coverage rarely gives it the attention it deserves. Big media outlets either ignore borough-level issues or reduce them to a passing mention in citywide reports. Meanwhile, traditional local newspapers are disappearing, and social media spreads more speculation than substance. The Deep Cut is here to change that.
This one-hour, solo-produced, live news show is built for Brooklyn, by Brooklyn. The first 30 minutes deliver fast, no-nonsense updates on everything from politics and crime to transit changes and cultural shifts—keeping you informed about what’s actually happening in your borough. The second half takes a deep investigative dive into a major Brooklyn story each week, unpacking its impact with real reporting, historical context, and sharp analysis.
Why We Need This
Local news is disappearing – Over the past decade, Brooklyn has lost dedicated newspapers and hyperlocal reporting outlets, leaving communities underserved.
Misinformation is rising – Social media spreads rumors faster than facts, and without a strong local news presence, misinformation thrives.
Brooklyn’s stories matter – With 2.7 million residents, Brooklyn alone would be the fourth-largest city in the U.S., yet it rarely gets the in-depth news coverage it deserves.
Mainstream news misses the local impact – Citywide outlets focus on Manhattan-centric issues, often failing to cover how policies, events, and crises uniquely affect Brooklyn’s neighborhoods.
What Makes The Deep Cut Different?
Live & Unfiltered – No corporate filters, no agenda—just real news in real-time.
Hyperlocal Focus – Every story connects back to Brooklyn’s people, politics, and culture.
Deep Investigative Journalism – Beyond the headlines, we ask the bigger questions and dig into the root causes of the issues shaping Brooklyn.
Engaging & Community-Driven – Whether through live comments, viewer tips, or street interviews, Brooklynites help shape the conversation.
At a time when local news is shrinking, The Deep Cut is filling the gap—giving Brooklyn a voice, uncovering the real stories, and keeping residents informed in a way that’s fast, fearless, and independent.
