Episode 14 of the Brooklyn’s own podcast is a special one, we’re talking Christmas!

We will get into Christmas Eve, which is bigger in some families than Christmas day! We’ll talk about the food, the feast of the 7 fishes, the importance of family, the nativity, the Christmas lights, Christmas shopping, old toys we got for Christmas and so much more!

With this being the BK podcast, of course we will meander a bit and talk about our radio colleagues Scott Shannon of CBS-FM and Karen Carson of WNEW and what they did in reaction to the "Baby it's Cold Outside" controversy.

And we will introduce you to “Christmas in Joe Causi’s basement,” an original piece that will instantly become one of your favorite holiday staples!

Enjoy the super-sized holiday edition of the Brooklyn’s Own Podcast, we will be back with more in the first week of 2019!

We are in holiday preparation mode! It’s time to put up the Christmas lights, get your tree out and plan out your holiday schedule!

This week we’re talking about our traditions for decorating the tree and how different our families approach it! Do you know about the Brooklyn bulbs? You better listen to this if you don’t!

We’re also planning out our Dyker Heights Christmas lights tour and talking about all the other great locations in the area that go all-out for the holiday season.

Welcome to episode 12 of the Brooklyn's Own Podcast! We've made it to Thanksgiving, which may be one of the more stressful holidays if you are Italian!

We talk about the huge differences in food when attending an Italian Thanksgiving dinner as opposed to, well, anything else... You MUST have antipasto if you come to our house!

We cover the Thanksgiving day parade & how it's a staple in some of our households (our mom's take it way too seriously), Intern Anthony has some tips on Black Friday shopping and a whole lot more. 

And we are thankful for YOU for listening to the first 12 episodes of the podcast!

It’s the discovery episode of the Brooklyn’s Own Podcast! We found out that Joe Causi was James Gandolfini’s body double for the final 2 seasons of the Sopranos & intern Anthony does great impressions, especially of the Sopranos characters! 

We start off talking about the new iPhone, how expensive it costs and how Joe Causi was a big CB guy back in the day (of course intern Anthony didn’t know what that was).

We also find out there’s another legendary movie Anthony hasn’t seen (Lethal Weapon).

We somehow gravitate to Disney World talk, which happens to be Joe’s obsession, he gives us tips on getting around & how some rides are weird to ride when you get older.

The final revelation is that Joe thinks he was a pirate in a previous life…..you’ll just have to listen.

Intern Anthony has made the move from Brooklyn to Staten Island, the culture shock has been jarring and if that wasn’t enough to deal with Joe Causi says there’s rules he needs to abide by now that he’s left the mainland!

What you can & cannot do to the front of your house, where to get quality bread, how to avoid the deer, the proper way to navigate…we cover all the rules for making the move!

Plus we get into some boring highway talk…but hey, not everything in life is exciting right!?!

We get pretty personal during episode 9 of the Brooklyn's Own Podcast.

We love Brooklyn, it will always be in our DNA with the fondest memories that will last the rest of our lives, but we had to leave.

If you currently live in Brooklyn, used to live in Brooklyn or any other tight-knit neighborhood that isn't the same as it once was, you'll want to listen.

Did you take a look at our first Facebook live taping of the podcast? We know it was just a preview, but we pick things up back here with a re-cap of the great time we had at the Columbus Day Parade!

Get your Italian fix here! On episode 6 of the Brooklyn's Own Podcast we find out why Joe's scared to death of....olives? Joe schools intern Anthony on movies shot in Brooklyn (how did he not watch the Godfather?!?!?!) and we can't do an episode without talking about Italian food...that conversation can go on forever! Sit back, relax & enjoy our random banter in episode 6 of the Brooklyn's own podcast!

We have a lot to get to this week! It’s back to school time for the 5 boroughs of NYC, we talk about our Brooklyn back to school memories (which of course includes school lunches) and leads to a shocking revelation from Joe about something he’s never eaten...we get into Brooklyn’s best diners from the past and present, which leads to another big admission from Joe about what he eats at the diner that’s a little hard to handle! We get to the return of Pumpkin Spice, Scooter Pies, Roll n Roaster and a whole lot more on episode 5 of the Brooklyn’s Own Podcast.
