About Us
The Montclair Pod is your weekly deep dive into the stories, issues, and buzz shaping our NJ town.
Hosted by two local friends and journalists, Farnoosh Torabi and Michael Schreiber, The Montclair Pod explores the heart of our vibrant community with curiosity, humor, and a little bit of neighborly gossip.
From the latest drama in Montclair schools to the tangled web of local politics and the hot housing market, we cover the topics you’re already chatting about at the bus stop, the farmer’s market, or over a beer at Tierney’s. Each episode features conversations and special guests, from community leaders to movers and shakers making waves in town.
But it’s not just about us—it’s your show, too! Share your questions, opinions, (and even compliments) and you might just hear them on an upcoming episode.
