The Ryan Sullivan ShowSal Nicosia Jr. - Does Central Jersey Exist? Being an 'Influencer' Actually Sucks and How to Launch a Career in Content CreatorSal Nicosia is a content creator, host, and on-air talent. He's the founder, turned co-host of Bananaland Podcast; a staple of South Jersey culture spawned from the wild experiences of pumping gas at Wawa, and transitioned to a conversational show covering topics like pork roll, dating and more. From his voice to his off-the-cuff opinions, Sal is positioned perfectly for the podcasting medium. After short-lived careers in radio and construction, Sal launched his podcast and personal brand and pivoted to content creation. He's now a full-time content creator for a diesel performance company in New Jersey. 2022-05-232h 21
