"That’s just the way it goes when it comes to the comedy stylings of Brendan O’Hare and Cory Snearowski. Their often darkly absurd take on the trivial aspects of life is on display this summer in their first podcast, This is Branchburg, which is part parody and part homage to the suburban routine and greenery of their shared hometown in Somerset County.... Snearowski and O’Hare grew up in Branchburg playing on the same Little League team and went to Somerville High School together."
