The Cons of moving back to Philly, and Why I'm Probably Never Moving Back

from Joe Matarese's Road Back to Philly · host Joe Matarese

Joe just sold out his first intimate venue show in Medford, NJ — and it went sideways in the best possible way. Super fans who knew his social media better than his setlist, a high school ex who showed up for the first time in 40 years with something surprisingly meaningful to say, a legendary Philly broadcaster who doesn't own a cell phone, and a cassette tape Joe handed to a DJ in 1990 that he desperately hopes no one ever heard.Then Joe and producer Dan dig into the real cons of moving back to Philly — the traffic on 76, $21K property taxes, old friends you didn't miss, and the uncomfortable truth that Joe might never actually leave New Jersey. Plus fan voicemails from Jerry and Courtney Rowan, a Saudi Arabia relocation strategy, and Jerry's (partial) original song to close it out.If you want to work with Dan, visit swiftpeakproductions.com to book a free intro call.
