  • 98. Dan Martin
    Jan 5 2026

    By the time this podcast drops, Dan Martin will be a newly married man, so congratulations, Dan! Dan Martin went to Saint Berndette’s grade school and Drexel Hill Middle School, where his friends introduced him to Summer Stage. He attended Monsignor Bonner, where he was the Friar mascot. He received his degree from Saint Joseph’s University and his Master's from Temple. In 2002, Dan performed in his first children’s theatre production, Bound for Broadway. He fondly recalls the 2005 production of Narnia, playing Mr. Beaver. Currently residing in Chicago, Dan and I talk about Chicago and Philadelphia cuisine. I also asked Dan some “Guest Questions” provided by his good friend Brenna Dinon. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .
