Welcome To The Suburbs

Listeners tell us Welcome to the Suburbs is as polished and funny as a good morning radio show. We’ll take it.

Hosted by longtime friends Andy and Greg, Welcome to the Suburbs finds the humor in everyday life—the things we all see, experience, and think about, but don’t always stop long enough to notice.

Funny observations lead to unexpected conversations that rarely end up where they started. From marriage, parenting, and getting older to travel, technology, neighbors, and the increasingly strange world around us, nothing is off limits if there’s something funny to be found.

With professional audio, original comedy, and episodes that don’t overstay their welcome, Welcome to the Suburbs is the perfect podcast for listening while you’re running around in your car, heading to work, walking the dog, or wondering how your life got this complicated.

Funny observations. Unexpected conversations. A genuinely good time.

Welcome to the Suburbs.

One of Andy’s first jobs was scaling the steps at Riverfront Stadium schlepping snacks to fans at Reds games. No bat stretchers or diplomas were required but good cardio, calf muscles, and barking were recommended.

Greg’s first spring break trip without parents didn’t require cardio, but IndyCar pit crew skills became a necessity. As if multiple tire changes weren’t enough the trip took an ugly turn when he was handcuffed on suspicion of murder while hitchhiking to buy tires.

State Fair freak shows are a thing of the past. That’s a shame because Joe and Mary could have a side hustle for sure.

Held at gun point while in college Greg talks about negotiating tips he learned on the fly after he was abandoned by his friend.
