  • Diverse Perspectives

    Really enjoy listening to this diverse group of women and hearing their perspectives. I do not have any dietary restrictions but I can only imagine how difficult it would be to navigate. You all give me so many new ideas of places and foods to try!

  • Good information for those even who go a lot

    We have been to Universal a lot, but yet I learned new things all the time while listening to this podcast. Love all the information about the allergies in different options. You can really tell they really care and research before putting anything into the podcast.
