Behind the Curtain

Lifting the Curtain: Ep. 2. Eric Phillips, former Press Secretary to Mayor de Blasio

By Skye Ostreicher Posted on July 15, 2021
Welcome to PoliticsNY with Skye: Lifting the Curtain – Ep. 3, the show that takes you backstage, behind the scenes of NYC’s biggest production: city government.

Watch as we bring you the people in the spotlight, off-camera and behind the scenes of all that makes our political system and local government work.

Press Secretary to the Mayor of NYC is one of the toughest communications jobs in the land. Meet Eric Phillips, whose job it was to speak to the media on behalf of the Mayor for four years. He now works for global PR firm, Edelman, and is highly sought after to opine on all things NYC. Tune in as we discuss his thoughts on a moderate Mayor and a progressive NYC Council and also where he likes to hang out in his free time.

Check out the inaugural PoliticsNY with Skye show featuring our famous three-questions-in-three-minutes series here.
