We throw our first LIVE podcast party at Ristorante Maietta in Englishtown, NJ. Several old and new friends gather over food and drinks to yap on the microphones.

This summer, the boardwalks of the Jersey Shore were a breeding ground for new friendships. Two new members Steve and Carlito join Shaun and Daniel for a recap of the police interaction in Seaside Heights, in addition to touching an array of other topics.

David breaks down his experiences at multiple New Jersey public schools, from the inner-city to the suburbs. They highlight the many ways that unions and public schools inherently conspire to work against the best interests of your children.

Daniel and David are back to deconstruct the recent investigation by the Attorney General of New York into alleged activities within the National Rifle Association. They present a surprising viewpoint to many on the pro-gun side of the political aisle, while shedding light into the greater non-profit world at-large.

We discuss the announcement of Kamala Harris as the Democrats' VP pick and what perceptions will pervade the rest of the campaign.

This one goes the distance. Blue Star Union brings together a majority of the board when David stops by with his good friend and former student Ken. The guys meander through the real purpose, power, and intention of public schools. They leap-frog through history with observations on the human condition.

This one gets LOUD. Jessica and Kat come down for a talk about abortion, sandwiched between lots of high-volume side conversations with the boys in the peanut gallery. This is a good one.

Union members make friends of other friends, and that's how we met Carlos. Carlos drops by the bunker to discuss growing up in Portuguese culture and the dynamics of the barber shop industry as he heads into a new business venture. Some soccer talk is thrown in for good measure.

Two new friends that we met on the boardwalk drop in the bunker to talk about their thoughts on a bevy of current events. This is what the Union is all about.

We break down the back-story of what went down at the Black Lives Matter protest in Freehold, NJ. If anyone at the event wants to respond with their feedback or opinions, feel free to contact us on our website and we would be glad to share your voice.Jazzie Robinson
