Feel like you need a dose of Bushwick to start your day? We’ve got good news: The neighborhood now has its very own morning talk show, “Good Morning Bushwick.”
Bud and Roach, co-hosts and Bushwick natives, tape the show every morning at 10 a.m. out of FirstLive, a coffee shop and live recording and broadcasting studio at 219 Central Ave.
This past Monday, I joined them to witness the magic of “Good Morning Bushwick” in real life. The setup at FirstLive is perfect for the show. Bud and Roach, both in their early 30s, sit at a table behind a pair of microphones. To their left is a giant, black leather couch where special guests post up; on the right, there’s a stage where musical guests perform. On this particular day, the duo was joined by Bud’s older brother, Big Zo, and neo-folk musician, Eli Lev. As the show recorded, Danny Garcia, the owner of FirstLive, continued to serve coffee to customers walking in.
