The Gabby Cabby takes Manhattan (then the world)

Thursday, January 08, 2009

To make his living, Peter Franklin drives a yellow cab in New York City. As he makes his way around the city, ferrying customers from point A to point B, Peter has a knack for getting people to talk on subjects as erudite as global economic indicators and domestic policy. Now he has turned those daily conversations into a report for BBC radio and other outlets around the world. He joins us now for his take on life in New York City.

For more from the Gabby Cabby, check out his website and the BBC series Up All Night .

Who on The Takeaway staff started playing with Legos and created the three graphics for today's list of stories? Is somebody's child wondering where their Christmas present went?! :=]

What's the weirdest thing you ever told a cab driver?
