Life Just

Outside NYC

Get Lost in New Jersey!

Welcome to Lost in Jersey” podcast. Co-hosted by Rachel and Janette about the perks and quirks of life just outside NYC – in New Jersey!

They are a couple of New York City expats who moved to New Jersey to raise their families in something bigger than a shoebox. At first, New Jersey was simply a place they could afford that was close to the city. Fast-forward five years, and they want to share what they have discovered—New Jersey is full of wonderful discoveries and is just the best place to drive home to after a night out in the Big Apple.

Meet the very cool people of New Jersey and those passing through.  What’s their connection to New Jersey? Their backstory. What are they up to now?

Tune in to be inspired, entertained, and informed on topics as diverse as New Jersey. Pop on your headphone and get lost in New Jersey.

We were driving back from Vermont today and listened to every episode of lost in jersey. Rob described it as an introvert’s dream – it’s like being at a fascinating dinner party. Congrats to you, Rachel, and all your guests. 😘 👏

I meant to tell you...

February 1, 2023

I thought the funniest thing you said was that you time how long it takes you to get home from the city, let people know, and that you are in your jammies. I truly laughed out loud on that one. It is hard to believe this is your first podcast. Stay the same, don’t change.

Maria
