Please listen to Episode 3 prior to this episode. In this episode, I revisit Joseph Bonaparte’s time in New Jersey. In light of the recent acquisition by New Jersey of the remaining 60 acres of Boaparte’s Point Breeze estate, we delve deeper into the life of the former emperor of France’s brother as it played out in New Jersey.

Special thanks to my BFF, Stephen Bogan of the Department of Environmental Protection, for the article.

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” I think Ben Franklin was actually referring to pork roll.

Ok, it’s time to argue and fight! People feel quite strongly about the name which one gives that luscious, tangy, salty, savory, meat product for which New Jersey is famous. So here’s a bit of the history of this scrumptious food.

I know you are here for New Jersey History, and the first proper episode of Season 2 is almost ready. But so many of you liked me talking with my students, so here’s their review from the past week. I wonder how many of them will actually think I’m talking to them over a rotary phone (For those who can see me via Spotify).

I promise Episode 1 of Season 2 will be up this weekend.

PLEASE follow me on the TikTok; it’s so fun….mrkbhistorynj
