Follow on Instagram and send us a tip: [email protected] days after wrapping Season 1, the Montclair Pod crew is back—because Montclair never sleeps. In this bonus episode, Farnoosh, Mike, and Ali regroup to cover a powerful local rally held in Brookdale Park as part of a national “Hands Off” movement. Through interviews with attendees—spanning three generations of local women, including a 7-year-old activist-in-the-making—and a stirring moment with a long-time immigrant fearful of deportation, the episode captures the raw emotion, civic energy, and complexity of what’s at stake.We also hear from Senator Cory Booker, who arrived at a rockstar welcome and delivered a fiery message. The team reflects on the challenges of energizing not just the base but swing voters and what inclusive dialogue might look like moving forward. Plus, stay tuned for a preview of Thursday’s upcoming crossover episode with the Montclair Art Museum podcast, Maybe Actually Museums Are For Me, spotlighting local photographer Tyler Chan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
