Summary

Everyone thinks they know New Jersey.

It's the Turnpike. The Shore. The traffic. The smell.

But beneath the jokes lies one of the most important, influential, and downright bizarre states in American history.

New Jersey gave America its first dinosaur skeleton, hosted more Revolutionary War battles than any other state, launched the age of modern industry, survived foreign sabotage, witnessed the Hindenburg disaster, inspired The Sopranos, and somehow became the birthplace of both suburbia and several environmental disasters.

In The Garden State: An Irreverent History No One Asked For, Jordan Blake Carter takes listeners on a fast-paced, funny, and surprisingly enlightening journey through centuries of triumphs, scandals, disasters, inventions, political corruption, mobsters, diners, Springsteen, and parking disputes.

Whether you're a lifelong New Jerseyan or someone who's only experienced the state through traffic reports, you'll never look at the Garden State the same way again.
