MAPSO Podso

Music legend Dionne Warwick joins me on Zoom (from a mile away) to talk about living in South Orange, her love of Twitter and the day she scared Snoop Dogg. ​

The new documentary about her life, Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over, is now streaming on HBO Max.

Owner Cathy Rowe welcomes me into the Timothy Ball House in Maplewood, where legend has it that George Washington spent time during the Revolution. ​

But what do I know? So we present the evidence to Alexis Coe, author of the best selling Washington biography You Never Forget Your First, and await her verdict.

International attorney Jon "Jonny" Hines invites me into his Manhattan apartment to share the story of how he and his friends invented Ultimate Frisbee in the Columbia High School parking lot.

Hines, a South Orange native, was inducted into the Columbia High School Hall of Fame in 2022.

Writer/Actor Matt Boren stops by the house to talk about his move from Los Angeles to Maplewood and his recurring role as Stuart on the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

Check out his debut novel Folded Notes From High School wherever books are sold and his Audible Original, Brackish Waters, narrated by Christina Applegate.

(Oh - and we met in high school!)
