A blog about New Haven
If you don’t read the New Haven Independent or the New Haven Register, first of all… thank you. You don’t need “news.” You need unfounded opinions! And you’ve come to the right place. But if you haven’t read, the City recently hired a firm to help develop the Long Wharf area, from its current dystopian … Read more
This week, Elm City Games Owner Matt Fantastic joins us in the studio with co-host Colin Ryan. In Part 1 of this two-part episode, we talk about the board game industry, inclusivity in gaming, and finding Super Nintendos in the woods.

Starting a business in New Haven is a move fraught with risk. For every successful bar, restaurant, or yoga studio, another 3-4 seem to close.

Josh sits down with Waka Kickball Rep Kyle Settle, along with co-host Colin Ryan, to talk about the New Haven Kickball League, growing up in New Haven, and whether or not Josh is a gentrifying devil.
After living in New Haven for 20 years, I can confirm that this is the greatest city in America (and possibly the world). That’s right. You can keep your grubby New York and your smoggy Los Angeles, your Chi-towns and your Big Easies. I know for a fact that New Haven has them all beat. … Read more
