- Very Informative Podcast
I really like the details this podcast brings. Karen’s laughing is distracting but Mike does a pretty good job of talking over a lot of it. Most of the time I can hang in there and listen to get the information I’m interested in, that’s what travel related podcasts are about for me.

There’s a lot of input on these podcasts of places or things they have not done. I’d prefer info on places they have seen or experienced. And wayyyyy too much fake laughing all the time. I found it hard to listen to the podcast without hearing the fake laughs. I wish I could give it a better rating as I love learning about the different parks.
Apple Podcasts3AzCactusgal817United States6 months ago - Good
This podcast is amazing! My 12 year old daughter was answering a campfire question from a game we were playing. The question was “If you could follow one person around for a few days, who would it be?” My daughter’s answer was “Karen from Dear Bob and Sue!”😂 We love to hear about your adventures to inspire our travel.
Apple Podcasts5lidy-bugUnited States6 months ago - Great travel podcast!
Started out by reading their books and then when I discovered podcasts I found theirs and love it! We also love visiting national parks and monuments (and state parks) and have used their advice many times. They are a joy to listen to and my husband and daughter ran into them at a hotel breakfast area and talked to them last summer. Matt and Karen were even gracious enough to take a minute for a photo! I have recommended this podcast and their books to many of our friends who also enjoy hiking.
