In this special Christmas series, we follow New Jersey developer Vince Capozzi through a lifetime of memory, loss, and redemption. Guided by three spirits—and the echoes of Newark, Red Bank, Paulus Hook, Trenton, and the Lenape homeland—Vince confronts the truth about what he destroyed, what he buried, and what he can still rebuild.
From the 1967 Newark riots to Dutch Paulus Hook, from the Battle of Trenton to a future where even his own cryogenic vault is forgotten, Vince finally understands the cost of erasing the past—and the hope that comes from restoring it.
This episode blends New Jersey history, immigrant roots, Revolutionary War landscapes, Lenape homelands, folklore, and faith into a modern retelling of Dickens’ classic—set entirely in the Garden State.
Perfect for listeners who love: NJ history, folklore, redemption arcs, holiday storytelling, Italian American culture, Revolutionary War history, and the power of memory.
