    Been a day one listener and love the show. Only complaint is waiting this long to have Donnie’s cousin on. She was fascinating and my favorite episode so far! I hope she can come back on for future episodes. Well done

  • The one time and only

    I came running from Instagram to listen to the episode about Medellin, because I love the social media content. I liked that the text about the episode is about how the city has changed and improved since its painful history 40 to 20 years ago. And then the hosts proceeded to talk about Escobar SO MUCH! Some of the facts they shared were cool, but overall very little about what the city really has to offer. They don't want to pose as Americans that don't know about other countries and yet didn't... more

  • Stopped Listening

    Still love Donny, but after listening for a couple months, I got tired of Chaps’ condescending, rigid tone to anything not directly aligned with his views. Became very off-putting after a while and made me stop listening.

Syria Put Him in Prison… Then Invited Him Back 7 Years Later Feat. Sam Goodwin | Drop A Pin Ep. 106
Q: Do you think he's the right guy for the job? Do you think he will lead Syria to a better place?
Goodwin describes the president as a good listener who treated him well and seemed presidential. He says the president might do well in an election, while noting that Syrians remain uncertain about what comes next.
Syria Put Him in Prison… Then Invited Him Back 7 Years Later Feat. Sam Goodwin | Drop A Pin Ep. 106
Q: When you were going to Syria, what was the environment like? Did you realize that there was going to be so much risk going into a place like that?
Goodwin says safety was a priority, but he believed Syria would be like other negatively perceived destinations where he had found meaningful experiences. He was detained two hours after arriving and held for nine weeks on accusations of espionage and collaborating with terrorists.
Alaska Is Where You Go to Disappear Feat. Giulio Gallarotti | Drop A Pin Ep. 103
Q: During your trip to Alaska, what spots did you hit?
Giulio explains visiting Kenai Fjords, Denali, Wrangell–St. Elias, and Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, noting some areas require flying in and enjoying the multi-park itinerary.
Timm Woods Might Be The Most Cultured Dungeon Master In All The Lands | Drop A Pin Ep. 99
Q: If you could teach abroad in any fantasy world, where would you go?
Tim envisions Waterdeep for teaching because of its city life, wizard academy, and portal network, offering both a rich, structured fantasy setting and practical teaching opportunities; as a vacation pick, Middle Earth (The Shire and surrounding regions) is ideal for its nostalgic, pastoral appeal.
Donnie’s Cousin Was Kidnapped in Yemen (While Pregnant) (📍Yemen) | Drop A Pin Ep. 93
Q: How did your life change after moving into the ambassador's residence?
I gained a bodyguard and moved to a more secure, yet more constrained life, with restricted movement and constant security considerations, but I also lost some spontaneity and independence.
