The bell just rang for period one, and that means it’s time for another episode of THE STORY SONG PODCAST. Join your hosts as they review the 2003 alternative rock song, “Hackensack,” by Fountains of Wayne. Get back to Hackensack (you’ll take the PATH and transfer to Jersey Transit at Secaucus) and learn every fun fact about the city of Hackensack, which we think was named after the song. And if you ever get back to Hackensack, THE STORY SONG PODCAST will be here for you.
