052626   Welcome to the Jersey Oddcast… where South Jersey’s news, culture, chaos, commentary, and occasional confusion all collide in one place. With Joseph F. Berenato, Gabriel J. Donio, and Gina Rullo   This week, we’re talking about a tragic discovery involving a New Jersey man found dead, a guilty plea, concerns over massive data centers popping up across the state, and a fatal crash in Egg Harbor City.   We’ll also get into upcoming South Jersey feasts and festivals, a tabletop gaming convention, a Hammonton cancer walk, and why some homes suddenly have giant windowless walls that look like they belong in a dystopian movie.   Plus, we’ve got an Oddcast OddFact involving personalized license plates in New Jersey and the surprisingly strict rules behind them… including why some people legally can’t get one.   And because this is the Jersey Oddcast, we somehow also end up discussing Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man, whether G-rated movies are disappearing forever, and a pop culture moment involving a Busch that is definitely not beer-related.   So grab an  iced coffee, settle in, and prepare for another episode filled with local news, oddball observations, and the kind of conversations that only happen in South Jersey.     With Joseph F.

051926 Jersey Oddcast   Welcome to the Jersey Oddcast With Joseph F. Berenato, Gabriel J. Donio, and Gina Rullo, where South Jersey news, commentary, and complete conversational detours somehow all end up in the same episode. This week, we’re talking about a prosecutor’s investigation into a local shooting, changes in the priest assignments around the region, Memorial Day weekend, and the official arrival of South Jersey traffic season as nearly 880,000 vehicles prepare to descend on the Parkway and Expressway. Plus, we’re joined by special guest Colby from MoreColby.com — creator, storyteller, and all-around fascinating conversation. We talk creativity, personal experiences, and the winding road of building something uniquely your own. We’ll debate whether summer blockbusters are made by explosions, soundtracks, or unforgettable one-liners, discuss why the internet suddenly wants us all following Zaza in China, and wonder what a World Cup halftime show would even look like. We’ve also got the Community Calendar, the Oddcast OddFact, the Oddcast Forecast, merch talk, pop culture chaos, and the usual amount of completely unnecessary side commentary. So grab a coffee, avoid the Shore traffic if you can, and settle in. This is the Jersey Oddcast.     With Joseph F. Berenato, Gabriel J.

051226 Jersey Oddcast

051226 Run Down   We’ve got classic cars rolling through downtown Hammonton, a debate over whether Central Jersey actually exists, and another look at changes happening around South Jersey communities this week. We’re talking local government meetings, the Atlantic City Expressway widening project, Walmart renovations, new housing developments in Vineland, and why people are suddenly filling pools in Richland like it’s an Olympic sport. Plus, we talk about Coach Paul Rodio’s upcoming final season, Memorial Day plans, a blood drive involving cookies, and somewhere along the way we end up discussing The Rockford Files reboot, Billy Joel getting ignored by The New York Times, and Tom Hanks somehow becoming America’s unofficial World War II historian. We’ve also got your Community Calendar, this week’s Odd Poll about classic car show behavior, an OddFact involving Ocean Grove’s legendary tent community, and your Oddcast Forecast. So grab a coffee, settle in, and prepare for another episode of chaos, commentary, and community… because apparently this is what we do now.     With Joseph F. Berenato, Gabriel J.

042826 Jersey Oddcast   Hey everyone, welcome back to the Jersey Oddcast with Joseph F. Berenato, Gabriel J. Donio, and Gina Rullo … local news, a little sideways. We’ve got a full one today. We’re talking everything from New Jersey banning specific flora, to Little League Opening Day getting pushed back, to clean up days and the latest scam making the rounds… so yeah, a little bit of everything going on right now. But the big conversation today… we’re sitting down with Chief Marc Rigberg and Anthony Sirolli from the Winslow Township Fire Department. We’re going to get into what it really takes to run a modern fire department… how they balance career staff and volunteers, what call volume actually looks like today, how they’re recruiting new members, and where they see things heading over the next five to ten years. It’s one of those conversations where you realize pretty quickly… there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than people think. We’ve also got your Community Calendar, the Odd Poll, an Oddcast OddFact with some serious Jersey history behind it, and we’ll wrap it up with the Oddcast Forecast. So stick with us… we’ll be back with more chaos, commentary, and community… because someone’s gotta do it.   With Joseph F. Berenato, Gabriel J.
