Jersey Boys Podcast

This is Steve Holden - blogger/podcaster/technologist - and publisher of this site. If you are reading this, you should be aware that Typepad.com, which powers the backend of this site, will be shutting down on September 30, 2025. I am desperately trying to preserve the content and continue to share it (i.e., memories) because it holds a great deal of meaning for me, both personally and professionally. The solution might not be as perfect, polished, or easy to use, but it will still be available. So please give me grace, prayers, and support over the next month as I try to make lemonade out of lemons. Cheers! Steve ([email protected])

Coverage of his passing was reported in: FoxNews, NorthJersey.com, Patch.com, NJ 101.5, Yahoo, NJ.com, People.com, AmoMama, Metro.uk, and app.com.
