Fear and Loathing in New Jersey

About Fear and Loathing in New Jersey

Coming to you straight from the Garden State, we’re serving up an eclectic potluck including everything from current events and social issues to recipes for both the kitchen and the mind. Served with a dash of simulation theory, comedy, music and art, we can’t guarantee that it will always taste good — but we promise not to make your day worse. This podcast will feature an array of topics and formats, along with guests and even musical performances. We will have ongoing segments that pick up throughout, so each episode will follow threads — alongside one-offs on topics of elevated importance. We are hoping for an interactive experience with our listeners, so please utilize our contact form to send us your ideas and thoughts. In the future, we hope to host an interactive chat after each episode for an informal AMA. So settle down with your beverage (or herb) of choice and prepare to be entertained. — Gina Carson & Jason Planer, podcast hosts
