    “Lost in Jersey” is awesome! It’s an engaging and entertaining podcast that reveals the hidden layers of the Garden State. As a native New Yorker now living in New Jersey, I love how LIJ uncovers stories that I might never have seen or heard. Hosts Rachel and Janette are super insightful and curious — they turn Jersey’s history, culture, and everyday places into something worth rediscovering. It’s all-around great fun - check it out!

  • You Don’t Need to be Lost In Jersey

    to enjoy this podcast. Every time I listen, I learn something new and I just love the relaxed tone in which Rachel and Janette deliver information and conduct their interviews. Because of it and their natural curiosity, I believe their guests feel more free to open up and be themselves. I feel like I’m sitting in a room right beside them as I sip my coffee and listen. .

  • Love love love!

    What a fantastic podcast by two incredible women! I was a fan of this podcast as it’s all things NJ, but then I was also lucky enough to be a guest and get to chat with Rachel and Janette. They are as wonderful in person as they are in our ears. Thank you for all the NJ content you provide and the fantastic conversations!
