  • Please press guests to prepare

    Just listened to the Summer episode. Great idea. “Hidden gems” was deployed often, yet specifics were few. Guest recommends “get brunch, have a walk” or “walk PDX to find hidden gems” then names a place in their neighborhood as their “discovery”. Have a bit of experience guesting on podcasts and I would like to gently urge the hosts to ask their guests to prepare a bit, to come to the chat with some specific recommendations in mind (as the excellent hosts obvs do!). “Go to the coast, hike, eat s... more

  • Y’all?

    Just listened to you latest podcast with the traveling while black couple. Sounds like they have a great channel and growing following. Why did you both feel like you had to say y’all the entire time speaking with them? You don’t on the pods. Wow.

  • Some fact checking would be nice

    Really want to like this show, but it’s like the hosts do no research at all before talking about a topic. There are many simple facts about the ski areas stated incorrectly in the recent Mount Hood episode.

    I’ve been listening for years. More southern Oregon Episode and less Airbnb promotion. Stay at local hotels and bed and breakfast.
