EPISODE #100: HALLOWEEN Note: This playlist was originally intended to be episode #48 on October 30, 2012. But with the justified fear of losing power to Superstorm Sandy, I did a special storm-themed episode on October 29. And then promptly lost power for a full week. The Who — “Happy Jack” [THEME] The Dream Syndicate […]

It’s feeling a little weird here in Hoboken as the one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy approaches. Memories have certainly come—no pun intended—flooding back. Stories of heroism, community spirit, successful returns, permanent losses, and continuing challenges are all freshly in mind, if they weren’t there already. I’ve had the privilege of writing three articles for AOL […]

Since 1994, on more Sundays than not, I’ve found myself at Benny Tudino’s. For the first nine years or so, it was with my buddy Joe, and we’d split a medium sausage pie. These days I get a slice. (They’re big.) It was a pleasure to write this article for the Hoboken Reporter, timed to […]

I wrote a fun profile of three young judo-competing siblings for the Union City Reporter. Who knows, we could be seeing them in the Olympics someday!

HGTV reality stars Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, a.k.a. the Kitchen Cousins, have a brand-new show debuting this month, Cousins Undercover. I interviewed the Jersey City-based cousins for the summer 2013 issue of JCI Magazine. Sure, the show was called Undercover Overhaul at that point. Things change. Focus groups and the like.

3.5 stars out of 5 I liked this movie, but not for the reasons I expected to. And I blame Broadchurch and the New York Times for that. The Times review had me anticipating a smartly-made psychological exploration of the aftermath of child abduction. And Broadchurch on BBC America raised the bar for how such […]
