The World Cup has come to New Jersey! We’re excited, but are we ready?


The latest episode of Jersey’s Best Podcast is out now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Check it out! If you like what you hear, please subscribe and leave us a review.


In case you missed the announcement, this weekly podcast is hosted by me, NJ.com food and culture reporter Jeremy Schneider. Joining me will be a cast of very Jersey guests as we break down all the things that make the Garden State spectacular, bizarre, sometimes annoying, but always the best.


More on our latest episode:Is the World Cup Really Going to Be a Disaster for N.J.? An Investigation.


The World Cup has come to New Jersey, and we’re excited — but also kind of terrified. MetLife Stadium (renamed New York New Jersey Stadium for the event) is playing host to the biggest sporting event in the world. Is New Jersey ready for thousands of tourists to descend on what is already the most densely populated state in the country? Host Jeremy Schneider is joined by NJ.com reporter Sean Sullivan to break down the politics behind a World Cup bid, if New Jersey Transit is prepared for the onslaught of riders, if you can walk to the games and if New Jersey is actually going to make any money off of this. Then Sean goes through the Garden State Gauntlet, World Cup edition.


Editor’s note: This podcast was recorded before the first World Cup game at the Meadowlands,which featured massive post-game delays.
