  • Good show

    Two episodes in a row that once again, confirm the utter chaos that is the Portland Parks and Recreation system. Hoping people will be good humans and respect that other people want to book a site is not a realistic statement. Getting a reservation is pure wizardry. For 10 years I’ve been getting online at the exact moment the sites open up for booking and nothing is available. So now not only is it completely impossible to actually book a campsite in a reasonable amount of time, but it’s also g... more

  • 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.
