This week, I'm revisiting a favorite conversation with David Wildstein, the editor and founder of The New Jersey Globe.Long before political news went digital, David created PoliticsNJ — an insider's must-read publication that reshaped how campaigns, consultants and journalists tracked Garden State politics.

In this episode, David and Lisa dig into how New Jersey's political coverage has evolved since the late '90s, what lessons from Election Day 2021 still resonate, and how the state's politics often forecast national trends. With the November 4 gubernatorial race in New Jersey drawing near, this is your chance to hear from the journalist to watch as the story unfolds.A must-listen for anyone who loves politics, journalism and a good bit of Jersey grit.

Garden State Gangland: The Rise of the Mob in New Jerseyhttps://amzn.to/47eXkGpThe Mafia in the United States might be a shadow of its former self, but in the New York/New Jersey metro area, there are still wiseguys and wannabes working scams, extorting businesses, running gambling, selling drugs, and branching out into white collar crimes. And they are continuing a tradition that's over 100 years old. Some of the most powerful mobsters on a national level were from New Jersey, and they spread their tentacles down to Florida, across the Atlantic, and out to California. And many of the stories have never been told. Deitche weaves his narrative through significant, as well as some lesser-known, mob figures who were vital components in the underworld machine.New Jersey's organized crime history has been one of the most colorful in the country, serving as the home of some of the most powerful, as well as below-the-radar, mobsters in the Country. And though overshadowed by the emphasis on New York City, the mob and New Jersey have, over the years, become synonymous, in both pop culture and in law enforcement. But for all the press that has been dedicated to the mob and New Jersey, for all the law enforcement activity against the mob, and for all the pop culture references, there has never truly been an examination of the rise of the mob in New Jersey from a historical perspective. Until now.In Garden State Gangland, Scott M. Deitche sets the historical record straight by providing the first overall history of the mob in New Jersey, from the early turn of the century Black Hand gangs to the present, and looks at how influential they were was, not only to goings-on the Garden State but across the New York metro region and the country as a whole.https://amzn.to/3W8zAi4Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli is ready to deliver for the people of the Garden State. Electricity prices are soaring throughout the tri-state area and its all due to failed Democratic policies. Democratic Governor Phil Murphy shut down the state's nuclear and coal without providing a reasonable replacement. Speaking of replacements, hopefully the people of New Jersey have had enough of failed Democratic policies as the Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill couldn't even answer what policy she would put in place should she be elected. She also was unable to account for the $7 Million in stock-trading she made during her time in Congress. Will New Jersey finally pick the sound common sense Republican policies?

So thank you for being here, and for being cool and patient while we all resume our composure. Everyone exhausted after that extended metaphor? I can only assume so. X Each Rewind gets a mini brush-up and comb through too, so hopefully you'll be experiencing a "remastered" feel too - no quad-surround Dolby action unfortunately but just a slightly nicer iteration for 2025. Below is the original writeup: ––––––––––––––––––––––––– Actor, director, screenwriter, fake doctor. But REAL friend. You may of course know Zach from his full term shift as J.D. in Scrubs, or maybe you saw Garden State, or perhaps some more recent work altogether - well here's your perfect chance to catch up on everything Zach, which includes those fun packed back in the days nuggets, the Scrubs podcast, what the term 'execution dependent' could possibly mean, directing a Ted Lasso and becoming an inventor in the process, younger day sob-fests, and being an HSP!
