ABOUT LIJ
Lost in Jersey was created by Janette Afsharian and Rachel Martens, two NYC expats who traded their shoebox apartments for the Garden State. Like many newcomers, they initially felt figuratively and literally “Lost in Jersey” but have since embraced New Jersey as their home sweet home. They created the podcast to share the stories of the incredible people connected to the great Garden State.
What began as a side project between two Jersey friends has grown into something bigger than we imagined. Our podcast now ranks in the top 5% of all podcasts globally, with over 100,000 (real) people engaging with our content on social, audio, and video every month. And we’re just getting started! We’re proudly niche, proudly Jersey. Thank you!
