Forgotten America


Sep 28, 2021

Our newest team member, Andrew Bambrick, joins Garrett to discuss his home state of New Jersey and what it was like growing up in the small town of Hammonton in southern New Jersey. He tackles stereotypes that come from shows like the Sopranos and Jersey Shore, talks about the cultural and political differences between north and south New Jersey, and he shares why he loved growing up in the Garden State.
