Have a reckless roundabout in your neighborhood? Tell us about it at: RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com.

Have a swinger story? (With the sort of details you can reveal on a mostly family-friendly show?) Tell us about it at RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com.
A new app enables you to have your wearables washed by strangers. Is this a great new gig economy side hustle that helps with an annoying weekly task? Or will it turn into an endless panty raid for perverts? And how do the rich and famous like Jeff Bezos launder their unmentionables? We make the point that it probably has something to do with outer space.
Would you wash your neighbors’ clothes for cash, or use this app over your neighborhood cleaner? Tell us your thoughts at: RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com.
Shout out to my favorite local laundry guy Aaron, the owner of Humboldt Park Bubbles!
Celebrities are not like us... Have you ever tried living next to one? Who the heck wants the Duke and Duchess as a neighbor? Plus, the RND Podcast discusses the latest from the Celebrity Death Watch. If two celebrities die -- there's going to be a third, right? Or is that just superstitious nonsense?
What celebrity lives closest to you? What are they like? Tell us about them at: RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com.
Rock legend Jimmy Page (from revered classic group Led Zeppelin) played on a “Whole Lotta Love,” but he’s not giving any love to his younger boy band neighbor’s construction efforts!

Maybe we need to hear Jimmy out...
Got a band practicing next door who's not ready for prime time? Tell us about it at RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com.

Have a nutty neighbor? Tell us about it at RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com
This week we examine neighbors who narc on their fellow neighbors. Are they busybody “rats” who cannot be trusted... or purveyors of truth and justice for all?
Have a neighbor who is into everybody’s business? Tell us about it at: RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com.

For our last show of Season 1, we decode the mystery of slang words and abbreviations that will be used by your neighbors in 2023. OMG! TBH, this podcast is drippin’ and the hosts are “extra” “salty.” All listener “vibe checks” point to an amazing Season 2 in 2023! Thank you for your support! Be there or be square next year! Happy 2023!
If you have some new and quirky terms we didn’t cover, email us your favorite pics at: RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com.
While hunkered down for the holidays, you’ll likely want to watch some Christmas classics. But be careful which movie "authority" you rely on for your family's holiday fare. Sometimes their choices for movie merriment miss the mark! A list with “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” and “Eyes Wide Shut?” Those movies are naughty, not nice. Rest assured we found a list and checked it twice before passing on its top recommendations to our cherished listeners -- who are, for us, the real reason for the season.
Got some holiday favorites? Email us at: RightNextdoorPodcast@gmail.com.

You may end up on our year end Top 10 countdown show and win a very valuable prize if you have the #1 story. Okay well, maybe not “very” valuable prize… Likely not a prize at all. Closer to a thank you note and a stick of gum BUT, you’ll be number one! And that’s worth something in our book.

You accept an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner expecting the traditional turkey and trimmings only to learn that you’re entering a low-cal, no sugar, and gluten free zone? Can you cancel or are you committed to kale and cocktails? Plus, people making calls in the can… those are bad next stall neighbors! When did public restrooms become the phone booths of the 21st century? We flush out these topics and more on this week’s show!

Folks are flustered in Philly over new pickleball courts that are driving them to drink! Could a monster truck crush the competition and resolve the issue before tensions send neighbors into the ring for a real-life wrestling match?

Haunted houses, creepy communities, psychic sleuths… Are actual aliens probing people for fun or are they paranormal proctologists?

replacement fill in for the missing foul and save the day? After all, the show must go on!

Okay, we’ve covered all types of bad neighbors on the show thus far, but living Right Next Door to an environmental hot spot? That really takes the cake. But don’t eat that cake, especially if it’s glowing -- that could be a recipe for disaster.

This week we tackle the tender topic of noisy neighbors. Loud music, surround sound concerts, TV turned up to eleven? You know the old saying… If it’s too loud, you’re too old! Unless, of course, the neighbor kid plays the drums or a parrot is screeching his (bird)brains out in the house Right Next Door!
What annoying noise have you had to endure? Let us know -- rightnextdoorpodcast@gmail.com.
This week we explore a new side hustle as we have fun reading the unintentional humor found in many local real estate listings. Are any of these properties located Right Next Door to you?

This week we deal with a plethora of pigeons, rodent raiders, and potentially deadly emotional support animals. Do the neighbors who caress these creatures drive you batty? You are not alone!

This week we bounce and dink our way through the fishy rules we got wrong on our last pickleball episode. Special guest Maureen Kafkis, host of the Brain BS Podcast and pickleball guru, sets us straight on our BS (and that doesn’t stand for “Big Serve.”) Wait! Did somebody mention fish? Tuna salad sans celery is served!

It's the dog days of summer! (And cat days?)
Dogs! This week we pick a bone with anonymous posters who drop GPS pins and pics on unsuspecting homeowners whose dogs are simply doing their thing, and for beachside joggers, dogs are the sharks of the sidewalk.
Cats! Darren ponders catsitting for a Hollywood celebrity, and urine from a fluffy feline nearly destroys an antique pool table. (We all know cats HATE being ignored during a game of 8-ball.) All this and more on today's episode!

This week we enter the urban jungle to explore a unique tag team dog duo, the romantic nature of skunks, and the predisposition of… possums.
