We have been listening to the show every night before bed for years, but in the past few months, new presenters with unprofessional and difficult to listen to radio presence, what seems like an increase in ads and the lack of Dylan, who has a wonderful radio voice, have us trying out new options. Still love the app, though.
I’ve been a long time listener since 2020. This show has gotten less interesting, and it’s lost its quirky charm since Dylan is gone. I loved his curiosity and perspective. It unfortunate that one of my favorite podcasts has gone downhill so significantly.

I am always looking forward to the next episode of this delightful show. They bring little-known places and people to life in the most fun and illuminating way.
