The New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA) continues its podcast series, Planet New Jersey, with episodes featuring conversations with business owners from across the state. The show, hosted by Randy Stephens and Vinnie Civitillo, is released every other Wednesday and includes a segment dedicated to a New Jersey-themed trivia game.

A recent highlight from 2025 features Nagela Duperval of Ou La Restaurant & Bar in Carteret. During her appearance, Duperval discussed Haitian cuisine and shared insights about starting a minority-owned business in an unfamiliar industry. She described both the opportunities and challenges faced during her entrepreneurial journey.

This particular episode also included what hosts described as their most difficult New Jersey trivia game to date. For the first time on the show, neither contestant was able to answer any questions correctly. Listeners are encouraged to participate and test their own knowledge of the Garden State.

Planet New Jersey aims to connect audiences with diverse businesses throughout New Jersey while providing entertainment through its interactive segments.
