October 1, 2025: Hosted by Mark Brennan and Karti Puranam of Rutgers University–Camden, the New Jersey Logistics Report podcast serves as a concise and insightful roundup of logistics and supply chain developments across the state.

Its primary purpose is to inform business leaders, policymakers, and urban planners about emerging trends, infrastructure updates, and regulatory changes that impact New Jersey’s logistics ecosystem. The podcast covers topics such as climate legislation, free trade zones, transportation grants, and industrial investments, often highlighting how these affect urban operations and regional economic resilience. Brennan and Puranam aim to bridge academic research with real-world logistics challenges, making complex supply chain issues accessible to a broader audience. Their work reflects a commitment to improving access to essential services—like food, housing, and healthcare—through smarter logistics and policy integration. The podcast is part of their broader mission to strengthen operations that support communities and drive equitable development across New Jersey.
