This episode dives into how residents are navigating modern relationships in all their forms: gay, straight, open, and swinging. The hosts examine how political views, community culture, and midlife realities shape connection and commitment in town.

The pod also continues its coverage of Montclair’s ongoing school budget crisis, unpacking what’s at stake in the upcoming “Yes-Yes” vs. “No-No” vote and how it could reshape the district’s financial future.


This week's Farnoosh and Mike Eat Food features La Couronne, an Italian restaurant in Watchung Plaza.

And in Ask Our Agent, we learn why some homes have a much harder time selling than others.
