The Gabby Cabby takes Manhattan (then the world)
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.
