  • Ep. 72 Kristen Laurite

    I’m just listening to episode 72. In the show yall talk about how she ended up in AR when it wasn’t necessarily the fastest route. You had also mentioned she had seen 48/50 states. It’s possible maybe she went that route because AR may have been one of the 2 states left she hadn’t visited? Just a thought.

  • Meh

    It has the potential to be good, but they really need to work on providing more structure to the podcast, and to try to be concise. The tangents are a lot…Also, tighten up the research.
