About Lost in Jersey

Lost in Jersey is hosted by friends Rachel Martens and Janette Afsharian. They moved from New York City to New Jersey after their apartments got too small after the kids arrived on the scene. Lost for a bit, but eventually, they discovered Jersey is pretty great!

Join them for entertaining interviews with NJ friends, business owners, parents, locals, local celebrities, and who knows, maybe a tourist!

What were they like as kids? How’d they get here? What do they do, did, or want to do? And what do they love about Jersey?

You can find us on Spotify, iTunes, Buzzsprout, and Youtube
