Neighbors Neighboring
by Amber Battaglia & Jennifer Schiffman
Neighbors Neighboring is a comedy/lifestyle podcast where real-life neighbors Amber and Jen turn everyday suburban chaos into the group chat you actually want to be in. Rooted in Mt. Lebanon, just outside Pittsburgh, but relatable anywhere, Amber and Jen overanalyze the low-stakes drama happening close to home: neighborhood etiquette crimes, local characters, wellness rabbit holes, beauty myths, parking debacles, party postmortems, fashion confusion, and the tiny social mysteries that somehow deserve a full investigation. Warm, witty, and unapologetically opinionated (but never mean) Neighbors Neighboring is proof that you don’t have to be famous to be fascinating, and that the best reality TV is often unfolding right next door.
