  • Good insights on relocating

    Enjoy listening to Gil and Gene podcast. It is hard to find podcasts that cover the criteria when looking for a place to retire. Cost of living factors such as housing, healthcare, transportation, crime, food costs, utilities, social opportunities, etc. All this served with light banter by Gil, Gene and guests. I hope this podcast continues to offer different

    opinions and decisions on relocation of retirees. Thanks Gil and Gene!

They read from Wikipedia on the place in question to open the show. Wikipedia is a joke; another left wing, and therefore inaccurate, cesspool. They could get the informa... more
