We’re not New York. And we’re not Philly. We’re New Jersey. And I’ve found.a huge network of interesting people right here in NJ who might not be so famous. But maybe they should be. They are writers and actors, politicians and business people. They’re old. They’re young. And I’m going to talk to all of them! Well, maybe not all of them, but a bunch. And I’ll ask them the questions you’re dying to ask. Over coffee.And maybe even dessert.

    EPISODE 74: JIM KELLY. . .How Long Can a High School Crush Last?

    Barely out of his teens, Jim Kelly suffered a devastating and life changing accident that paralyzed him. His road to partial recovery helped him see life differently - and perhaps was the impetus behind his success as an educator and, eventually, writer. And, yes. I had a crush on him in high school. . .  This is part one of our recent conversation. You can find his books at jmkellyauthor.com

    EPISODE 73. . . BEST OF 2021: Michael Kroll - Gone . . . But Never Forgotten

    Less than a week ago, Michael Kroll - husband, actor, director, friend - passed away quietly at home. His death is a huge loss to all who knew him. Michael so totally exemplifies the "best of," and I wanted to honor him by rebroadcasting our talk from 2021.

    EPISODE 72: It's Bigger On The Inside. . .Dr. Who Discussion Continues

    What the hell is a Tardis? What is the Dr.'s actual name? You may not find the answers here, but you will hear a continuation of our spirited discussion about the TV series, Dr. Who. The Doctor, you may already know, is a Space Lord who travels through space and time, usually with a companion and always encountering impossible situations. Impossible. . . except for the Doctor. Click through to hear our nerdy thoughts, and maybe you'll be convinced to tune in yourself.

    EPISODE 71. . . BEST OF 2021: Bridget Larson - Rock & Roll & Revelation

    She is a powerhouse of a singer, but that description doesn't do Bridget Larson justice. With a combination of blues, rock, country and, yes, Christian music, she hits all the right notes. Don't let the Christian music fool you. She can get downright secular!

    EPISODE 70: Dr. Who??

    If you're a sci fi fan - or even if you aren't - you may have watched an episode or two of Dr. Who. I've gathered a few Dr. Who aficionados to basically nerd out on this epic show, which has been around forever. The Doctor - as he is known - travels around time and space and. . . oh, just listen to Rob, Ellie, Nika, Nora and I have a completely normal conversation about our obsession.    [Sorry if you tried to listen earlier. Production problems!]

    EPISODE 69 - BEST OF 2022: Joe Malone . . . Move Over, Ziggy Pop

    Most of the musicians I've featured on this podcast are mainstream. Joe Malone is not. I spoke to Joe back in 2022, and realized I hadn't featured his interview as a "best of."  My mistake, Joe is talented and entertaining. What more could you ask for?

    EPISODE 68: Vin Gopal...from Perkins to Politics

    Maybe it's just me, but it seems like everyone knows who State Senator Vin Gopal is. But if you don't, no reason to fret. This conversation between Vin and me doesn't dwell on the obvious. . . politics. I get him to talk about his secret talents and who would be the first person he'd call if he ended up in the slammer.

    EPISODE 67: Best of 2020.....Todd Sherman: Keeping Live Music Alive

    If you've ever been to Barnacle Bill's for the great food, you may be surprised to learn that it's keeping live music alive in NJ, thanks to owner Todd Sherman. That's because Todd's real love is music. Not only does he give local musicians a place to do their thing; he also is quite accomplished himself as a musician and composer. We spoke back in 2020, and I'm reviving it because he's such an interesting guy.
