Love you guys, but it’s been a tough listen.
Janet and John have some of the most mellifluous voices in the biz and their tour through the US has heart and joy while not skipping over the dark parts. Very life affirming

I love this, it’s like being back in elementary school learning about states but wittier and silly. I’m from Alaska and can’t wait to hear about my state
Great show that's a delightful distraction from All The Things, plus you learn a bit about every state! Highly recommend.
