  • Love it!

    I’ve been listening to a couple of these podcasts from San Diego because I used to study there and it’s my absolute favorite place in California! And I wanna go back! ( I’m Norwegian!) Listening to this while having my coffee and making breakfast was a great start of the day! I would love to hear more about places in San Diego! -Thea 24 y.o

  • Informative and upbeat

    A diverse range of topics presented by interesting, upbeat people. I love California and would love to explore more so am enjoying finding out a lot more about places, especially less well known ones or local gems. I’m also learning more about astronomy, rock climbing, surfing, etc so even if you’re not planning to visit California it’s worthwhile listening.
