Manasquan Brielle: Locals Only

Manasquan Council President Jay Bryant joins the podcast and shares his history with Manasquan and his experience as a history teacher - and we dive into the significance of America's 250th Celebration.

This week we are joined by Joe Bossone of the Squan Tavern Bossone family. We cover the history of Joe's family, the restaurant, and all of his involvement locally - from the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism to Squan-a-Thon and Madonna House.

Brian Mallin of the Manasquan Shade Tree Commission joins the podcast for a fun-filled conversation about a wide-range of local topics. From Boy Scouts to Little League to trees and, well, more trees. Also, we learn why Brian moved away from Manasquan only to return a short time later.

Sean's off this week and Chef Lou Smith joins the podcast for a discussion with Mike and Casey about his restaurant, The Blend, his charity Chef Lou's Army, and what it's like owning a business in Manasquan.

This week the guys discuss what it's been like to host the podcast and the feedback that they've heard. And then Sean and Mike discuss traveling for work - the good and the bad.

Then, Mike and Casey interview Sean and talk about his work for the US Intelligence Community and his work now at Google.

The show wraps up with a chat about how Casey got into being a therapist and what it's like being a therapist in a small town.

Andy Tufts joins the podcast for a great conversation.

Sean and Casey were tied up with family obligations so Drew Clancy stepped in to Guest Host along with Mike Mangan for a great episode about our local social media scene.

Frank Murphy, creator and administrator of the locally-famous Facebook Group "Overheard in Manasquan." Frank shares his story of coming to Manasquan and the story of why and how he started Overheard in Manasquan and what it's like running a 19,000 member-strong social media group.

No guests this week as the 3 hosts get back together for the first time in a few months to share a candid conversation about something impacting all of our lives in Manasquan, Brielle, and the world; AI.

Sean has some experience, having worked at Google for almost 18 years, with what AI is, and what kinds of impact it is having on the world and on business. He's pretty much all-in....

Casey and Mike have some great perspective and concerns and this is probably just the first of many times this topic will come up as the frontier continues to evolve.

NOTE: Sean's comments here are based entirely on his own personal history and experience, and do not necessarily reflect the positions of Google, nor the Brielle Board of Education.

Billy & Harper Morris from Brielle talk to us about child acting and how Billy figured out how to manage Harper's acting career and get her in TV shows and Movies.

Pauline Evans & Sheila Vidreiro join this week in a rare double-guest interview with Casey and Mike hosting. This dynamic duo of active women discuss their personal stories about coming to Manasquan and all the groups that they work with now in the community.
