May 08, 2023 What's the Saddest Place in New Jersey?
Hello all! YES WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE PASTA IN THE WOODS. Now that that's out of the way, today we're combining two of my longstanding passions in life: New Jersey and Sadness. After a recent trip to a famous New Jersey park that I realized was a lot sadder than I ever realized, I posed the question to the WOTown boys - what's the saddest place in this entire state? Some great answers sprung up in the episode, and I imagine your comments/voicemails will only expand this very worthy topic. 973-780-4660!

May 01, 2023 Jersey Dude Reviews Jersey Food: Heirloom Kitchen
In this stunning turn of events, Chris is the one who had the food in this month's JDRJF. And he's using his knowledge to try to make Don jealous. You see, Chris has had a longstanding nervousness surrounding the idea of fine dining, and yet he recently took his wife Hallie on a date to Heirloom Kitchen in Old Bridge, oft cited by those in the know as the best fine dining in the Garden State. Was Chris able to function? Will Don be mad that he wasn't there? How many types of pasta can one boy eat? We answer all these questions and more.

April 24, 2023 Interview: Aaron Levine, Master of Insurance
Mike D made the acquaintance of one Aaron Levine, who is behind LG Insurance in West Long Branch. We realized - what an interesting lens to look at New Jersey through. From homes and climate to cars on notoriously insane roads, Aaron has a part of his brain that's constantly processing New Jersey life very differently from all of us. We ask him about how he sees New Jersey from those angles, and also he is just generally good at stories and advice.

April 17, 2023 77 vs. 23: When Was Jersey Better?
We've broken down a number of aspects of Jersey life and listed how they were in 1977 versus how they are today. And we're deciding which lifestyle was better? Was our state better 45 years ago? Or are we in a golden age today by comparison? Only one thing is certain - I have no idea how this episode ends. You'll soon find out why that is.

April 11, 2023 NJ Summer Games
Guys, this is really weird, but the state government came to us and said this summer they're starting a new version of the Olympics that revolves around New Jersey and takes place in New Jersey and they need US to brainstorm all the events for it. You'd think they'd have a whole team in place to figure this out but no, they need me and Mike D and Bonadooch to sort it all out.

LET'S PITCH SOME BITS AND SEE WHAT STICKS!

April 03, 2023 Interview: Joanna Angel
You might know Joanna Angel as a woman who revolutionized the porn industry. I knew her many years ago as Joanna, the punk rock girl who worked at Brower Commons when we were both students at Rutgers University. In this wide ranging interview, she and I talk about how being on the periphery of New Brunswick's legendary music scene helped inform both our careers, which bands back then had members who were out there breaking hearts, and how she and Fid once battled some goths at the Menlo Park Mall. One of the running themes of this show is that Jersey's strong DIY culture extends from music to many other areas of business and life, and this one shows that as much as any other conversation we've had in the history of the show.

March 27, 2023 Bonadooch vs. Machine
Jersey is a driving state. Listen to any Springsteen song and you'll remember this state romanticizes cars. We spend a lot of time in them. And we spend a lot of time listening to our precious robots, the GPS.

But here at NJITW, we are firm believers that we mustn't let man succumb to the evil machines! And we happen to have a secret weapon, our own Bonadooch, who has worked many early mornings in every Godforsaken corner of this state.

In this episode we put it to the test: who knows directions better? The GPS? Or Bonadooch off the top of his head?

March 20, 2023 Interview: Jackson Pines
On today's episode we interview Jackson Pines, a South Jersey band. But not just any South Jersey band - a band that's chronicling the folk music that's come out of the Pine Barrens for many decades with their new album Pine Barrens Volume 1. They're combining all the DIY ethics and methods Jersey bands are known for with a fierce devotion to making sure songs that have existed for centuries in the pines are recorded anew and find a modern audience. LONG STORY SHORT, IT'S SUPER COOL.

March 13, 2023 Interview: Jerry Carino, Oracle of NJ Basketball
March Madness is upon us! And Jersey cares about basketball. Jersey style basketball also directly reflects the state and its attitude. In this episode, Chris talks with Jerry Carino from the Asbury Park Press, who knows more about Jersey basketball than maybe anyone else on earth. They talk about where things are at right now, as well as the bigger picture of how this sport and the state's relationship with it show off things about the Garden State's mindset. It's a good one!

**PLEASE NOTE** that the intro was recorded on Sunday afternoon, and that evening there was a huge shock: Rutgers did *not* make the tournament. It's considered the biggest surprise snub in the sport. Both Rutgers and Seton Hall are in the less prestigious NIT tournament, and if both win two games they'll face each other there in what would be a weirdly contentious game for the NIT.

Jersey fans, it looks like we now have to all rally behind the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights, who face off against Texas Southern in the NCAA tournament on March 15th. And maybe even... PRINCETON?!
