An avid theatre fan, Joey also helped launch the Mendham Players drama club (which he continues to co-advise) and participates in productions across NJ when his busy schedule allows. Joey co-hosts the weekly Talking Comics podcast, which covers comics, film, television, and all facets of geek culture and reaches an international listening audience. Often, these interests intersect with his job as an English teacher and his ongoing intellectual pursuit of narrative construction and social representation. A graduate of Rutgers University and the Rutgers Graduate School of Education, Joey now resides in Jersey City.
