Mike D has recently read up on some of the historical roots of the legends surrounding the New Jersey Devil, the Garden State's most infamous legend. How was Benjamin Franklin involved? Is this all just the hundreds year old result of a smear job campaign directed to one unfortunately targeted family?

This episode has some technical disasters. Broken headphones, weird audio, and even right now I'm posting it from the Denver airport where my flight has been delayed over five hours. And that's all fitting because we talk about NJ's greatest disasters throughout this thrilling piece of audio. We are the only podcast on earth that can have a surprisingly touching discussion about the beauty of Morris County land deeds this close in proximity to a bizarre half committed rant about the ghost of William Paterson being summoned by pissing in a bathtub.  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

New Jersey is a place of chaos. St. Patrick's Day is a holiday of chaos. New Jersey also has a lot of residents of Irish descent. You will not be shocked to hear that it was very easy for us to find many examples where St. Patrick's Day in New Jersey descended into absolute chaos. You will also not be shocked to hear this one talks a lot about Hoboken. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode we interview Shawn Hendricks, the owner of New Jersey's longest operating comic book store. Located in Whippany, this store is really special, and Sean has a lot of experience and philosophy into what goes into running a kick ass comic book store. On top of that, how does New Jersey's proximity to New York City give it historical ties to comics fandom? Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Politics in New Jersey is becoming must see. We're currently embroiled in the "Tammy Murphy versus Andy Kim" Senate primary that's getting nastier by the day. Soon we'll have the governor's race, where Steve Fulop, Ras Baraka, and Steve Sweeney have already joined, with more rumored to be eyeing the prize. It's a crazy time.That made me think: how much do WE here at NJITW know about the structure of NJ politics? I decided to put Nick and Mike (and myself) through some basic state focused civics quizzing for fun, to see where we're at knowledge-wise, and to encourage our listeners to go brush up on their related knowledge as well.Little did I know that at some point we would say a name that would set Bonadooch off on the most Bonadooch tirade this show has ever seen.

Who is the real Bonadooch? The question we get asked the most here at NJITW - after “Why don’t you talk about Bergen County more?” - is "Who is Bonadooch?" Here’s your answer. An in-depth interview with the one and only Bonadooch where no topic is off the table. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You'd think if you have Joe Steinhardt from Don Giovanni Records and Marissa Paternoster of Noun and Screaming Females, you might talk a lot about their legendary impact on New Brunswick's basement scene. Or at the very least about their great new graphic novel, Merriment. Nope. This is New Jersey is the World, so we're talking about the Northeast Corridor train line!
