Sunday talk radio with New York stakes.
Cats Roundtable moves like a Sunday radio table with a long guest list and a short fuse for vague answers. It ranges from national politics and the economy to New York housing, commercial real estate, elections, public safety, and cultural worries.

Cats Roundtable is a Sunday morning talk program with a crowded guest bench and a distinctly New York sense of urgency. It does not linger over soft introductions. A name appears, a public problem is named, and the conversation moves straight toward what that person thinks should happen next. The national editions range across presidential politics, Congress, the FCC, economic policy, homeland security, education, children, health, media, energy, and foreign affairs. The local editions keep returning to New York’s pressure points. Taxes matter. Budgets matter. Housing, commercial property, police, schools, retail, and whether people stay in the city are treated as connected problems rather than separate beats. The Stoler Report segments give the feed a practical real estate backbone, with Michael Stoler asking market people about investment sales, affordable housing, development sites, suburban office demand, Greenpoint, New Jersey deals, and the hard math behind building. That gives the show more than campaign chatter. It often sounds like politics being translated into rent rolls, occupancy, land use, tax exposure, and whether commerce still makes sense. The tone is brisk and opinionated. Guests are not merely introduced as analysts; they are asked what is going on, what changed, and what the public should understand. Some answers run long, and the show seems comfortable with that. It prizes momentum over polish. It also favors strong civic language, with repeated concern about America, New York, education, capitalism, moving to Florida, and elected officials harming or helping business. The guest list can jump from Governor David Patterson to Brendan Carr, Newt Gingrich, John Solomon, Dick Grasso, David Sheckman, and Brian Kelly without pretending those are the same kind of conversation. That variety is part of the appeal. Cats Roundtable suits listeners who like politics, markets, and city life discussed with direct questions, familiar radio rhythm, and very little patience for neutrality as a pose.
Made for: For listeners who follow New York politics, national commentary, real estate, business, and civic fights around taxes, housing, schools, and public leadership. It suits people who prefer direct questions and strong conclusions over polished panel chatter.
What sets it apart: The show blends national political access with a practical New York business lens, especially through real estate and development conversations. It moves from national headlines to neighborhood economics without changing its plainspoken rhythm.
Hosted by John Catsimatidis every Sunday at 8 a.m., The Cats Roundtable mixes common sense thinking while exploring the truth and telling both sides of the story.
