Manasquan Brielle: Locals Only

This week Sean and Mike are remote from their vacation locations - Aruba and the Poconos. They talk about the national mid-term elections in Congress as well as the Monmouth County races for Surrogate and County Commissioner. Then they delve into our local elections - Mr. James Bond's victory in Brielle as well as the still-unknown result in Manasquan. Casey, also out of town, was unable to join in... so naturally, Mike and Sean close this week's episode by questioning Casey's dedication to the pod.

Brielle's Amber Fernicola joins the pod to talk social media, real estate, local businesses and a lot more. Sean, Casey and Mike update on their weeks too - and give a very important update on the "SQUAN" License Plate and the recently omnipresent train noise in Manasquan.

Mike is solo in the studio this week to give a brief Public Service Announcement on voting and Election Day this year.

Sean, Casey and Mike update on their week and then Councilman Brian Holly (of the Manasquan Holly's) joins the pod this week and talks about his personal history in the area and what its like now in local politics and government in Manasquan.

Manasquan's Randy Poist joins the pod - talks about life starting in Maryland and what it was like moving to Squan, marrying into a long-time local family. Randy talks about his time tending bar, hosting trivia, and coaching youth sports. Mike gives a storm recap.

Brielle's Aaron Feldman shares his story being a landscape architect for Princeton University and his journey to Brielle. He shares he thought on public projects and development in Brielle. Sean, Casey, and Mike share updates on their weeks.

This week Sean, Casey, and Mike catch up on their weeks - Casey shares some stories from the past, Mike talks sports flooring, and Sean inspires and terrifies us with his AI update.

This week Sean, Casey, and Mike sit down with none other than "Joe Leone" himself and hear the story of how his business came to Squan and what it's like today. We talk about his volunteerism and family and youth sports - and about the construction on Main St that happened this summer. We talk about the 25th Anniversary of 9/11. Sean kicks us off by sharing his story competing in the 46th Manasquan Marlin Tuna Club Outshore Open.

This week Casey and Mike co-host while Sean was enjoying the last of summer and are joined by MHS Principal Matt Kukoda who also serves as Manasquan Youth Football league President and as a Head Coach. Matt relays his personal history in education and in the area with his family and talks at length about the small-town values that attracted him here.

Mike can't catch a break!

The weather continues to suck, but we're making the best of it.

Monorail project on hold.... Trolleys keep the peace and bridge the gap between modern Manasquan and days gone by.
